Nutanix is reshaping its product set into five groups that run across public, private, and hybrid clouds with a consistent operating model and simplified packaging, metering, and pricing. This move is in response to customers finding that although moving to a hybrid multi-cloud model for deploying and managing applications is sensible, the complexity of management, […]

The arrival, acceptance, and establishment of the public cloud has caused a whole new application system infrastructure to be erected across the clouds and on-premises datacentres so that developing and running apps as virtual machines and containers can be eased and optimised. William Blair analyst Jason Ader has described this new cloud infrastructure stack in […]

Like most components in the computing landscape, networking hardware has grown steadily faster over time. Indeed, today's high-end network interfaces can often move data more quickly than the systems they are attached to can handle. The networking developers have been working for years to increase the scalability of their subsystem; one of the current projects is the BIG TCP patch set from Eric Dumazet and Coco Li. BIG TCP isn't for everybody, but it has the potential to significantly improve networking performance in some settings.

You’re driving along a road and you come across a fence blocking your way. What do you do? You could tear it down. After all, what’s the use of a fence over a road? But you would be wise to reconsider.

You use Kubernetes to orchestrate containers. It's an easy description to say, but understanding what that actually means and how you accomplish it is another matter entirely. If you're running or managing a Kubernetes cluster, then you know that Kubernetes consists of one computer that gets designated as the control plane, and lots of other computers that get designated as worker nodes. Each of these has a complex but robust stack making orchestration possible, and getting familiar with each component helps understand how it all works.
