Data Center Interconnects: An Overview
It's common business policy for organizations of a certain size to have two data centers as part of a disaster recovery or business continuity plan. However, most enterprise - applications are not designed for or intended to use systems in two different locations.
Enter the notion of a data center interconnect, which extends an Ethernet network between two physically separate data centers. While the idea is simple, Ethernet wasn't designed to run across a wide area network. Thus, a DCI implementation requires a variety of technological fixes to work around Ethernet's limitations.
This report outlines the issues that complicate DCIs, such as loops that can bring down networks and traffic trombones that eat up bandwidth. It also examines the variety of options companies have to connect two or more data centers, including dark fiber, MPLS services and MLAG, as well as vendor specific options such as Cisco OTV and HP EVI. The report looks at the pros and cons of each option.

The Case for Hosted Exchange
Because email and messaging capabilities are so critical, they have in some respects become like a utility: like electricity, for example, email is so critical to the operation of any organization that it no longer provides any substantive competitive differentiation between companies. Like other utilities, then, the goal is to a) ensure that service remains available as close to 100% of the time as possible while b) simultaneously being provided as inexpensively as possible. For many organizations, managing email internally is a thing of the past, just like producing one's own electricity is a concept of the past.
A growing number of organizations are finding that the way to accomplish this through the use of Microsoft Exchange as a hosted service, a model in which a remote third party provider manages all backend services for a flat monthly per user fee. The advantages of this approach for organizations that want to realize the benefits of Exchange are that uptime of the Exchange infrastructure can be very high and the cost of managing Exchange can be reduced significantly - typically more than 50% compared to on-premises management. Further, the use of a hosted Exchange service allows an in-house IT staff to be deployed to other projects that will provide more value to the organization as a whole.
This white paper discusses the benefits of the hosted model for managing Exchange. It also lays out the detailed costs of managing a hosted versus an on-premise Exchange environment.

Application Performance Management: Intelligence for an Optimized WAN
With application performance management in place, businesses can identify (and resolve) issues on the network faster, provision the bandwidth to support applications more accurately, and plan network upgrades and other tasks with more efficiency.
The ROI of Application Performance Management Build a Business Case for Your ...
This document discusses the ROI and business value of application performance management (APM) solutions. It provides 10 scenarios where APM can provide quantifiable benefits, including:
1) Improving production and preserving revenue by reducing downtime of critical applications. An example shows a retail chain saving $52k per outage by reducing credit card outage duration by 40%.
2) Optimizing bandwidth expenditures by right-sizing bandwidth needs based on real network usage data. An example shows a company saving $99k annually by avoiding over-provisioning bandwidth for a VoIP rollout.
3) Eliminating redundant tools and equipment by replacing needs for devices like protocol analyzers and CSU/DSUs, saving on equipment costs.
Key Considerations for MPLS IP-VPN Success
The benefits of MPLS IP VPN networks are already being realized by many enterprises. In addition to maximizing performance while minimizing costs, MPLS VPNs offer the ability to prioritize applications such as VoIP by class of service (CoS), create and improve disaster recovery infrastructures, utilize a fully meshed infrastructure that replaces outdated hub and spoke architecture, and reduce complexity to simplify network management in an increasingly complex landscape.
When considering a migration to MPLS VPN, there are several key considerations that can significantly impact the process of planning, implementing and managing the network, as MPLS has some unique requirements and tasks associated with managing and administering the network. This white paper will explore some of those considerations and discuss how they can be addressed.
A Business Guide to MPLS IP VPN Migration: Five Critical Factors
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.

Intro to Voice over Internet Protocol: What does VoIP Mean for My Business?
Savatar, a strategy and technology consulting firm, and XO Communications,
a leading provider of telecommunications services for businesses, explain
Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) from the perspective of small and medium-
sized business (SMB) owners, specifically SMBs who are seriously considering
moving to VoIP, but are unsure what approach is right for them. This
paper presents key findings of a Savatar survey in which 500 SMB owners
and decision makers were asked how they thought a VoIP system would compare
to their current phone system in four areas: cost, system management,
migration to a new system, and feature availability. Key benefits of VoIP for
business include reliability and efficiency, cost savings, and convenience.
Avoid Three Common Pitfalls With VoIP Readiness Assessments
The document discusses common pitfalls that enterprises face when conducting voice over IP (VoIP) readiness assessments. It identifies three main pitfalls: 1) relying on a single snapshot assessment that does not account for network changes over time, 2) believing that synthetic VoIP calls alone are sufficient to test readiness without considering impacts to other traffic, and 3) focusing solely on the initial assessment and not planning for ongoing monitoring and management after VoIP deployment. It recommends best practices for VoIP assessments that involve continuous monitoring, adding real VoIP traffic to assessments, and managing converged voice and data networks after deployment.
MPLS IP VPNs: Are You Ready to Migrate?
This paper outlines five critical factors for successful migration to MultiProtocol
Label Switching (MPLS) Internet Protocol (IP) Virtual Private Networks
(VPNs). Written for business executives and IT decision makers, the paper
discusses the current status of MPLS IP VPN adoption for the medium-to-large
business (5 to 50 locations), especially with regard to the evolving (and expanding)
role of MPLS technology. The paper also identifies key questions you
should ask before migrating from a legacy infrastructure to an MPLS-enabled IP
VPN, discusses the benefits of migration, describes the types of companies that
would benefit from MPLS IP VPNs, and suggests what a business should look
for in an MPLS provider. The good news is that the early adopters of the technology
have implemented MPLS with great success, particularly as it relates to
network performance. The time has come for mass migration to the technology.
Wan and VPN Solutions
In enterprises today, Wide Area Networks (WANs) are no
longer operating behind the scenes. WANs are central to
the daily operations and core business of organizations large
and small. However, enterprises must choose from a variety
of ways to implement WANs. This eBook examines the
various types of Wide Area Networks (WANs), and why
IT departments gravitate towards specific WAN solutions.
In addition, the paper provides constructive guidelines
for organizations seeking Local Area to Wide Area
Network extension.
WAN Services Planning Checklist
This document provides a checklist for planning a WAN (wide area network), outlining key areas to consider including overall objectives, costs and ease of management, enterprise-wide traffic capacity, location considerations, redundancy, user and access needs, applications and bandwidth requirements, and security concerns. It suggests questions in each area to help evaluate network migration and extension plans for the entire enterprise. The checklist is intended to help WAN planners design a total solution that meets all connectivity, performance and protection needs across all locations.

Level 3 Global Crossing Merger Not in Public Interest
XO Communications opposes the proposed merger between Level 3 Communications and Global Crossing, arguing it would dominate the internet backbone market with a 55% share and harm competition. The new company, Level Crossing, would control internet traffic flows and have power to raise prices for ISPs, content providers, and end users, threatening the open internet. XO believes the merger should be rejected by regulators to maintain competition and broadband affordability.
WAN Cloud Communication Optimization
This document discusses how cloud computing has redefined the need for wide area network (WAN) optimization solutions. It finds that organizations using on-premise solutions focus on WAN optimization as a cost-cutting measure, while those using cloud platforms prioritize improving the user experience to address latency issues. The total cost of networking per employee is significantly lower for cloud environments, but latency introduced by cloud migration negatively impacts applications that require real-time delivery like voice and video, negating potential cost savings. WAN optimization providers have developed products tailored for different cloud architectures like private, public, hybrid and more.
The Benefits of Migrating to MPLS
Many white papers describe technically how MPLS works—down to the details of configuration across different Customer Premises Equipment (CPE) types but, before you take a deep dive into the inner workings of the technology, determine if migrating to MPLS is the best decision for your enterprise. Thoroughly investigate the key business reasons your enterprise might consider a private IP network, as well as the issues you must monitor and manage to make MPLS a success.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdf
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:
Cosa hanno in comune un mattoncino Lego e la backdoor XZ?
ABSTRACT: A prima vista, un mattoncino Lego e la backdoor XZ potrebbero avere in comune il fatto di essere entrambi blocchi di costruzione, o dipendenze di progetti creativi e software. La realtà è che un mattoncino Lego e il caso della backdoor XZ hanno molto di più di tutto ciò in comune.
Partecipate alla presentazione per immergervi in una storia di interoperabilità, standard e formati aperti, per poi discutere del ruolo importante che i contributori hanno in una comunità open source sostenibile.
BIO: Sostenitrice del software libero e dei formati standard e aperti.

A tale of scale & speed: How the US Navy is enabling software delivery from l...
Rapid and secure feature delivery is a goal across every application team and every branch of the DoD. The Navy’s DevSecOps platform, Party Barge, has achieved:
- Reduction in onboarding time from 5 weeks to 1 day
- Improved developer experience and productivity through actionable findings and reduction of false positives
- Maintenance of superior security standards and inherent policy enforcement with Authorization to Operate (ATO)
Development teams can ship efficiently and ensure applications are cyber ready for Navy Authorizing Officials (AOs). In this webinar, Sigma Defense and Anchore will give attendees a look behind the scenes and demo secure pipeline automation and security artifacts that speed up application ATO and time to production.
We will cover:
- How to remove silos in DevSecOps
- How to build efficient development pipeline roles and component templates
- How to deliver security artifacts that matter for ATO’s (SBOMs, vulnerability reports, and policy evidence)
- How to streamline operations with automated policy checks on container images

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).

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing Days
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.
