University of the Highlands and Islands extents ubiquitous Wi-Fi services acr...Juniper Networks UKI
The University of the Highlands and Islands is unusual in that it covers an
extended geographic region (about half of Scotland, or a sixth of the land
area of the UK). It has almost 100 campus locations supporting about 7,500
Higher Education students and 25,000 Further Education students, and is
based across a wide range and variety of sites, from large campuses supporting
thousands of students, down to single room locations in remote rural areas and
on remote islands.
These broad-ranging geographic variations leave the university with
some unique IT challenges. Available bandwidth can vary hugely between
locations—some close to fiber-optic infrastructure and others in remote
corners of the region where even broadband speeds are low. Resiliency of
those communication links can be another challenge, as diverse routes can
be impractical, and sub-sea cables or radio links are more exposed than
land-based communication systems. Not least, the university must provide a
consistent service across all of its locations, whether they support a handful of
students or thousands.
Making a Pain-free Migration to Unified CommunicationsReadWrite
Every firm, company or enterprise with distributed data and voice networks is looking for ways to control costs and increase efficiency. To achieve these goals, businesses need to integrate both voice and data onto a single, converged network to reduce costs and improve productivity. A converged voice and data network is the foundation for Unified Communications (UC), which fosters productivity through mobility and collaboration. Mobile technology allows users to work smarter with simple, end-to-end solutions that combine time-saving communication tools that boost user performance, such as virtual private networks and wireless applications. UC also promotes effective collaboration by connecting people with the right resources the first time, thereby increasing productivity. This paper examines the value of UC applications, tools and technologies to provide guidance for pain-free migration to a more efficient and high-performance business environment.

2008 New TD Tech, new Network and new Platform (TD-SCDMA)td.tech
July 12, 2008 - On the P&T/EXPO COMM CHINA Exhibition, TD Tech Ltd. demonstrated the new TD-SCDMA Network Solution, supported by the parent companies Nokia Siemens Networks and Huawei. This is a premium class radio network solution (UMTS-TDD) for the world market, compliant with ITU and 3GPP Standards.
As a leading innovator, you selected DDS to solve a complex communications challenge. Good choice! Now you recognize that your challenge is evolving: you need to consider adding more mobile and embedded devices into the network. The resource requirements of your DDS middleware are becoming a crucial factor. Even if you wanted your vendor to port to the rapidly expanding field of hand-held and mobile embedded devices, you wonder - will your applications still fit and run with needed performance levels within the memory footprint and CPU cycle constraints?
Your management or your client is now requesting you handle some new and interesting hardware and software, mobility solutions while bringing in data from new sources. To do this you might be able to select higher memory versions and/or faster CPU versions of the new devices in order to achieve the performance you need. Or you might be forced to drop features and functionality so that your DDS enabled application fits and provides acceptable performance. Either your costs go up or you leave out features. Do you really want to make that trade off? What options exist now?
Fortunately, one of the great strengths of the DDS standard is that it is open and provides interoperability between DDS versions from other suppliers. That’s one of the reasons your choice of DDS was a good one!
Twin Oaks Computing (www.twinoakscomputing.com) has designed its implementation from the ground up especially for resource constrained environments. CoreDX DDS is a high-performance implementation of the OMG Data Distribution Service (DDS) standard. The CoreDX DDS Publish-Subscribe messaging infrastructure provides high-throughput, low-latency data communications in an extremely small footprint.
CoreDX DDS applications can easily communicate with applications based on DDS from other vendors. This multi-vendor interoperability is enabled by multiple standards managed by the Object Management Group (OMG), including specifications of the application programming interface (API), real-time publish subscribe wire protocol (RTPS), and quality of service (QoS) features. CoreDX DDS includes proven support across all of these interoperability aspects. Twin Oaks has publicly demonstrated CoreDX DDS interoperability with RTI DDS and OpenSplice DDS.
Interoperability is particularly important for systems that are deployed for long periods of time, often measured in the decades, before they can be upgraded or replaced. Maintaining these systems through individual component failures, and ever changing and expanding requirements is hard. Interoperable middleware technologies like DDS make this challenge easier.

Interop 2006: Evolution of the Networking IndustryAbner Germanow
This was a presentation from 2006 where (starting on slide 30) I described how the way consumer networking vendors built their products would ultimately upend the way enterprise vendors built products. Today, the hype around SDN, commodity switching products, and linux based network operating systems is making much of this come true.
This presentation was first given in May 2006 at the Interop trade show.
Slide 30, is where I talked about how the networking market would split from vertically organized vendors to horizontally specialized vendors. I predicted this transition would take 10 years.
At the time, the use of merchant silicon in datacenter and enterprise switching products was a rarity. Today, it is common. Then linux derivative network OSes were limited to consumer products, today they are taking over large scale cloud datacenters.
The networking market hasn’t come as far as I expected in 10 years, but it’s pretty cool much of this either came true or is on the cusp of coming true. Much more change is under way.

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:

PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert
In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.
"Q & A for the Open Datacenter Interoperable Network (ODIN)"

Q & A for the Open Datacenter
Interoperable Network (ODIN)
2. Q & A for the Open Datacenter Interoperable Network (ODIN)
Page 2
Q. What is ODIN?
A. The Open Datacenter Interoperable Network (ODIN) is a set of technical briefs which describe
best practices for developing a flat, virtualized, converged data center network based on open
industry standards. The first five volumes of ODIN were released by IBM in May 2012. These
documents describe the transformation taking place in the modern data center; equal cost
multipath (ECMP) networking; lossless Ethernet; software-defined networking (including network
overlays and OpenFlow); and wide area networking including best practices for low latency. ODIN
was created as a response to client requests for a guide to networking best practices based on
industry standards rather than proprietary protocols.
Q. What are the goals of ODIN?
A. ODIN is intended to provide a set of best practices for data center networking. It can be used
to educate clients or networking equipment vendors on preferred practices, for example by
helping clients generate vendor neutral RFI requests or develop multi-vendor architectures as
recommended by Gartner Group and other leading industry analysts. ODIN may also be used to
recommend emerging technologies and help future-proof a data center network design. ODIN is
intended to save both capital and operating expense by recommending best practices for
scalability, latency, high availability, convergence, security, and energy efficiency without
sacrificing adoption of high performance technologies.
Q. What are some of the data center networking problems which ODIN
addresses?
A. Historically, data center Ethernet networks evolved from early designs which supported “dumb”
terminals attached through repeaters and hubs into a switched hierarchy with 2 to 4 tiers (or
more). This traditional design is not well suited to modern data center applications. For example,
conventional networks are designed for north-south traffic flows (which traverse multiple network
tiers, adding latency and degrading performance); ODIN promotes a flat, 2 tier network optimized
for east-west traffic between servers. ODIN promotes scaling the network to thousands of
physical ports at 10 Gbit/s each, and tens of thousands of virtual machines, without high
oversubscription, and without requiring large numbers of switches that take up space, use
energy, and add cost. ODIN promotes virtual machine mobility through large Layer 2 domains,
and best practices for low latency, even when using extended distance connectivity between
multiple data centers. ODIN promotes software defined networking and network overlays which
enable virtualized, wire-once networks and overcome traditional topology and bandwidth limits.
ODIN describes equal cost multipath spine-leaf architectures, which help scale networks in a cost
and performance efficient manner. ODIN promotes high availability, energy efficiency, automated
management, network virtualization, and other features intended to provide lower capital and
operating expense.
Q. Which companies are currently endorsing ODIN?
A. ODIN was established under IBM’s leadership, and the initial release of these documents has
been endorsed by industry leading companies including BigSwitch, Brocade, Extreme Networks,
Juniper, NEC, and Huawei. Other companies and universities are expected to endorse ODIN in
the future. For a complete list of companies who endorse ODIN, please refer to the IBM System
Networking website.

Q. How does a company or university endorse ODIN?
A. ODIN is not an industry trade organization, and there is no membership fee to join ODIN. Any
company with an interest in some form of standards-based data center networking is welcome to
publicly endorse ODIN through their website, blogs, press releases, or similar approaches. For
examples of how other companies have endorsed ODIN, please refer to the IBM System
Networking website or IBM data center networking blogs.
Q. What is IBM’s role in ODIN?
A. IBM led the creation of ODIN in response to market pressure to provide a description of the
many emerging industry standards in data center networking, including best practices and
emerging technologies. This will allow networking users to better position their architectures
around standards-based networking, which has been shown by independent consultants such as
Gartner Group to provide up to 25% lower total cost of ownership compared with proprietary
network architectures.
Q. Isn’t ODIN just an IBM marketing initiative?
A. No. ODIN provides a technical description of the major industry standards for data center
networking, in the form of a tutorial which is suitable for both technical and business audiences.
All of the companies who endorse ODIN offer products which support the industry standards in
ODIN to some degree (though not all companies will support all standards). It is expected that
participating companies will make available their own technical and marketing materials
describing how their products solve the networking problems outlined in ODIN using standards
based solutions.
Q. Is ODIN a new industry standard?
A. No, ODIN does not compete with existing industry standards or standards bodies. Rather,
ODIN provides a tutorial on existing standards, and interprets these standards to describe best
practices as well as practices which are not yet fully mature. In this way, ODIN provides a
cookbook for network users and designers and promotes the creation of vendor-neutral network
planning.
Q. What industry standards are covered by ODIN?
A. The initial ODIN release discusses networking standards from the IEEE, IETF, INCITS,
InfiniBand Trade Association, and ONF. Updates to these standards, and new standards from
other groups, may be added in future releases. Please refer to the latest draft of ODIN for details,
available from the IBM System Networking website.
Q. Who is the audience for ODIN?
A. ODIN is intended for use by clients seeking to understand data center networking industry best
practices and emerging trends. It may also serve as a guide for other network equipment
developers.
Q. How can clients provide input to ODIN?
A. Clients are encouraged to review the ODIN documents and make comments or suggestions
for future improvements. IBM is interested in client feedback and intends to be responsive to
these comments.

Q. What are some possible use cases for ODIN?
A. ODIN discusses a variety of use cases. For example, cloud based data centers using multi-
tenancy and resource pooling can benefit from the ODIN design principles. Large data center
fabrics for commercial or enterprise use in many industry verticals (finance, retail, medical,
entertainment, etc) can all benefit from the ODIN design approach. Specifically, ODIN discusses
design principles for ultra-low latency networks, as required for real time financial trading and high
performance computing or large data set processing applications. Since ODIN includes standards
such as OpenFlow, it also supports all of the benefits and use cases derived from network
overlays and software defined networking.
Q. Does IBM have products that support features of the ODIN
documents?
A. Yes, IBM has already implemented many features of ODIN and plans to implement more in the
future. Additional technical materials will be available from IBM to describe how IBM products can
be used to implement the design practices described in ODIN. Some examples include the
following:
The IBM RackSwitch G8264 is the industry’s first 40G-enabled switch to support OpenFlow, and
has publicly demonstrated interoperability with an OpenFlow controller.
IBM was a leading participant in Converged Enhanced Ethernet / Lossless Ethernet, which is
currently supported on all IBM System Networking switch platforms.
The IBM virtual switch 5000v, Rack Switch G8264, and various BladeCenter embedded switches
all support IEEE 802.1Qbg which promotes VM mobility. These switches are employed in IBM
PureSystems and other IBM integrated product offerings.
IBM continues to actively lead many emerging industry standards, including Distributed Overlay
Virtual Ethernet (DOVE), software-defined networking including OpenFlow, and others.
Q. Is IBM participating in the industry standards discussed by ODIN?
A. Yes, IBM has long been an active participant and industry leader in all of the industry
standards groups represented by ODIN.
Q. Where can I get more information about ODIN?
A. For more information, updates to the ODIN documentation, and an opportunity to comment on
ODIN, please visit IBM System Networking website,
