Until recently, campus migrations have been from 1G to 10G to 40G. While 1G and 10G still represent a significant share of the enterprise market’s Ethernet ports, a transition to 25G, and to 100G for large and high-end enterprises, is expected to happen more quickly than the previous transition to 10G. Furthermore, support for 25G adapters that can also run at 10G with existing fiber cabling can help accelerate that migration, providing opportunities to migrate to a 100G switch infrastructure while supporting significant investment protection.
Cisco has been pioneering several initiatives to bring new Ethernet technologies to market. These include Cisco 25GBASE Small Form-Factor Pluggable SFP28, Cisco 100GBASE Quad Small Form-Factor Pluggable QSFP28, and more importantly, dual-rate optics along with the latest Cisco Catalyst 9500 Series high-performance switches to facilitate such network speeds and architecture transformations.

The Trend
There is a trend observed in the market for designing products with SuperSpeed USB and NAND Flash inside. There are camera manufacturers, printer manufacturers as well as FLASH drive manufacturers involved in the trend. It is crucial, at this point of time in the market, to have a proper knowhow on what factors affect such designs and what can be done to achieve a successful and a longlife design.
SuperSpeed USB
The USB 3.0 standard claims that it is 10 times faster than USB 2.0. The theoretical speed is 4.8Gbps (600MBps). However looking at various realistic speed test reports made available by more
than one developers, it has been concluded that 400MBps is the maximum achievable speed for this standard.
Factors affecting performance
Depending on the NAND Flash used in the system, the performance can be estimated. But, there are a number of factors affecting the speed and performance of USB in a system. Eric Huang has listed
the dependencies very interestingly in his blog. I am listing them here.
The USB transfer speed is affected by the following factors:
Number of applications running on the host machine
The speed of the application itself
The quality of the drivers (host as well as device)
The bus on the hardware that moves data from USB controller to CPU (on host as well as device
side)
The USB PHY
The USB Cable
Non-ideal system
Looking into a nonidealized system, the SLS SuperSpeed USB Device IP Core tests performed on GigaByte A75 Motherboard have indicated the performance ~2.1Gigabits per second (262.5
Megabytes per second) with mass storage interface and ~2.7Gigabits per second (337.5 Megabytes per second) with raw interface.
There is a word in the development community about NAND Flash being the bottleneck for USB performance.
Lets see how the performance numbers with the NAND Flash look like. Mass storage performance tests with SLS SuperSpeed IP and ONFI controller IP (without ECC overload) have indicated speed
upto 101.5 MBps (812 Mbps).
What does this mean?
Transferring 1 Gb (125MB) data from the flash drive to the PC would take a second, which takes more than 6 seconds at present with USB 2.0 interface and RAM memory
Copying 5Gb (625MB) data from flash drive to PC would take 5 seconds, which is right now taking 31 seconds using USB 2.0 interface and RAM memory
Data that takes 5 minutes to transfer using USB 2.0 interface and RAM at present (6000MB) would be transferred in 48 seconds!

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:
