As consumers demand ever-greater amounts of high-quality content over the Internet,
service providers (SPs) are finding it difficult to increase revenues while containing costs.
This is due mainly to two trends: (1) over-the-top (OTT) content providers have outsourced
the delivery of content to pure-play content delivery network (CDN) companies, and (2) traffic
growth (with no resulting revenue benefit) is increasing network build-out and maintenance
costs for SPs.

White Paper - Modern Video Streaming in the Enterprise - Panopto Video PlatformPanopto
In the past several decades, changes in video technology have frequently occurred through seismic shifts in ecosystem support. The triumph of VHS over Betamax, the subsequent shift from VHS to DVD, and the rise of H.264 have all followed a pattern in which the industry rallies around a technology and solidifies its position in the market.
In 2015, the next sea change is underway. Legacy video streaming protocols built on overlay networks, custom protocols, and specialized servers are giving way to chunked, connectionless, HTTP-based “Modern Streaming.”
Organizations that implement their live and on-demand video infrastructure using Modern Streaming stand to benefit from reductions in cost and network management complexity, and from improvements in scalability and the viewing experience. Because modern video protocols have been built to leverage the architecture of the internet and corporate WANs, they work in concert with organizations’ existing web caching infrastructure and WAN optimization technologies.
For organizations with video infrastructure built on legacy streaming protocols like RTMP, MMS, and RTSP, and organizations that have invested in multicast video communication, Modern Streaming represents an inflection point. Although continued investment in legacy video technology limits near-term disruption, it prolongs an inevitable technology transition, increases the eventual cost of switching, and limits the choice of technology providers who are actively divesting from the technologies.
Learn more! In our latest white paper, Modern Video Streaming in the Enterprise: Protocols, Caching, and WAN Optimization, we’ll take a deeper look into the technical shifts driving the move toward Modern Streaming, including the seven characteristics that make a video streaming protocol modern.
We’ll also look that the new opportunities Modern Streaming presents for organizations to use existing network infrastructure for more scalable, cost-effective video delivery.
A Business Guide to MPLS IP VPN Migration: Five Critical FactorsXO Communications
Multi-Protocol Label Switching Internet Protocol Virtual Private Network, or MPLS IP VPN, refers to a VPN service enabled over a trusted provider’s private MPLS core backbone. It delivers the flexibility of an IP service with the essential service quality, performance, and security previously available only with legacy technologies. Other benefits include cost-effective security, any-to-any connectivity, Quality of Service, scalable bandwidth, and a platform for convergence.

With cableco B2B revenues expected to quadruple by the end of this year, it’s no surprise that forward-thinking agents increasingly are opting to add cablecos to their portfolios. In addition to offering competitive and innovative services that suit an agent’s bottom line, cablecos present agents with benefits such as state-of-the-art infrastructure and established market presence. And with the demand for telecom services growing and the traditional telco market shrinking, cablecos are stepping in to satisfy the needs of a burgeoning market with whom, oftentimes, cablecos already have an established relationship. Whether it’s their robust offerings, their cost savings, or their trend-setting services, cablecos now “have emerged as the logical choice” for agents, Channel Partners reports.

Content Distribution Network(CDN) Report(IEEE Format)KeshavKumar315
A content delivery network (CDN) is a system of distributed servers (network) that deliver pages and other Web content to a user, based on the geographic locations of the user, the origin of the webpage and the content delivery server.
It is also known as Content Delivery Network.
Escalating website and Web application complexity, content volumes, refresh rates and user demands surpass what traditional content delivery networks (CDNs) can effectively manage. This, combined with the lack of transparency and control in many systems, results in poor performance and end-user experience, ultimately compromising business outcomes.
CDNs are surrogate web servers distributed across different data centers in different geographical regions to deliver content to end-users, based on proximity of this user.
In this article we show the historical development of this technology.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!
Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms.
