High availability ensures that network services and data are accessible at all times by configuring storage systems in high availability pairs. When a network interface fails, negotiated failover can trigger an automatic failover of the storage system to prevent loss of connectivity. Enabling negotiated failover and selecting which network interfaces to include allows the storage system to fail over to the other node. The benefits of high availability include uninterrupted data access, and the ability to perform nondisruptive upgrades to storage system components like motherboards, adapters, disks and interfaces.

SAN Extension Design and Solutions
Help your organization ensure data is backed up and available, both locally and remotely. Expert guidance on the pros and cons of various SAN design options, and which to choose
Learn from Cisco experts in this technical session as we cover the following:
•How to achieve the desired recovery time objective and recovery point objective for the business
•Pros and cons of various SAN extension solution designs, and which one to choose
•Cisco solutions and products for SAN extension using native Fibre Channel (FC), Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE), and Fibre Channel over Internet Protocol (FCIP) protocols
•Best practices collected from a decade’s worth of experience with some of the largest deployments in the world
•Configuration guidelines/best practices to increase the return on your investment
•Guidelines for increasing performance and security while lowering solution costs
This document provides a list of competing features from the HP BladeSystem and Cisco UCS solutions. The objective of the document is to highlight weaknesses and strengths as a starting point for an enhanced competition to UCS in the Data Center area.
Moving to a well-managed IT architecture streamlines server deployment and reduces maintenance time. Your infrastructure should be highly available, easy to use, scalable, and cost-effective to implement. Cisco UCS Manager provides a streamlined method for automating hardware setup and firmware updates in one highly available solution to keep management costs down. Due to its converged network model, Cisco UCS Manager provides all of this functionality in a cost-effective package with no hidden fees or additional licensing costs. In contrast, HP Virtual Connect with OneView provides fewer vital features out of the box, increases network and management complexity, requires additional hardware and licensing, and has lower available network bandwidth in a configuration comparable in price to the Cisco UCS solution. With more available network bandwidth to the blade for similar cost, less network complexity, streamlined deployment and management, and greater out-of-box functionality, Cisco UCS provides a flexible and cost-effective solution to meet your architectural needs.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
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.

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).

Connector Corner: Automate dynamic content and events by pushing a buttonDianaGray10
Here is something new! In our next Connector Corner webinar, we will demonstrate how you can use a single workflow to:
Create a campaign using Mailchimp with merge tags/fields
Send an interactive Slack channel message (using buttons)
Have the message received by managers and peers along with a test email for review
But there’s more:
In a second workflow supporting the same use case, you’ll see:
Your campaign sent to target colleagues for approval
If the “Approve” button is clicked, a Jira/Zendesk ticket is created for the marketing design team
But—if the “Reject” button is pushed, colleagues will be alerted via Slack message
Join us to learn more about this new, human-in-the-loop capability, brought to you by Integration Service connectors.

SAN High availability (Netapp Storage)
1. High Availability
High availability means the amount of time the network services and data
are accessible. In many enterprises ensuring data availability at any time
and at any place is the highest priority.
13. Negotiated Failover
When a network interface fails the controller looses the connectivity no
hosts can get access the data over the failed interface to prevent the loss
of connectivity configure the NFO to trigger the HA failover of the storage
system.
To configure the NFO enable the automatic takeover by enter the
command.
>options cf.takeover_on_network_interface_failure enable
Enable the negotiated failover by executing the given command-:
Choose the e0c interface to participate in the NFO.
>ifconfig e0c nfo
>options cf.takeover.on_network_interface_failure.policy any_nic (For any NIC
)
14. Benefits of HA
Data access at anytime
Nondisruptive OS upgrade and hardware upgrade
The nondisruptive upgrade method can be used to replace or upgrade
the following components
1.The storage system
2.Motherboard
3.Adapters
4.Nonvolaile RAM(NVRAM)
5.Disks
6.Other network interface components
