Dive into the world of high-performance networking. In this article, you will discover solutions to optimize Ethernet for AI/ML and HPC environments, ensuring seamless GPU synchronization and enhanced network performance.

This article is not an exploration of who does Ethernet better so much as a direct examination of technology itself. Numbers will be reported as an aggregate means between major players in the AI Networking market and contrasted with equivalent InfiniBand performance. The goal is to answer, at an atomic level, one question: eliminating all other variables, is Ethernet good enough?

As cloud-native technologies continue to converge with traditional networking in the data center and enterprise, understanding how Kubernetes, Cilium and eBPF work is crucial for network engineers. Hybrid mesh firewalls are the latest trend, and distributed firewalls (like Cisco's Hypershield) are emerging in the market.

As cloud-native technologies continue to converge with traditional networking in the data center and enterprise, understanding how Kubernetes, Cilium and eBPF works is crucial for network engineers. With hybrid mesh firewalls being the latest trend, and distributed firewalls (like Cisco's Hypershield) emerging in the market. Understanding how Kubernetes transforms traditional IP networking concepts into a dynamic, software-defined environment is crucial. This article demystifies Kubernetes security, making it accessible for network engineers familiar with ACLs and VLANs. You may think this doesn't apply to you, but if you're planning a firewall refresh anytime soon, then these concepts will need to be part of your vernacular going forward.

Data Loss Prevention has regained prominence in recent years due to large scale breaches and increasingly stringent regulatory requirements. Vendors with varying tech heritages have been lining up to employ new technologies and techniques against this seemingly never-ending problem.

With a lot of good news around Cisco Secure Firewalls recently, we decided to put them to the test, ATC style!

This blog post is a presentation of the Cisco Meraki A Day In The Life PowerPoint slide deck. The Cisco Meraki engineer receives multiple issues reported via the Help Desk ticketing system in the course of the day and they must use dashboard.meraki.com to identify and potentially resolve the issues. This blog post covers the common factors affecting wireless networks and explains why certain data is needed from end users in order to effectively troubleshoot a wireless network using the Cisco Meraki dashboard.

The complexity of the application landscape is continuing to change, segmenting the path from our users to our applications. Monitoring the performance of that landscape has become equally complex with the number of Application Performance Monitoring and Management (APM) tools growing by the year. A large part of that issue is the visibility in segments that we don't control. ThousandEyes offers options that largely haven't been available before, and that makes this product awesome and exciting. In this article, I'm going to provide five reasons why you should consider ThousandEyes.

As cloud-native technologies continue to converge with traditional networking in the datacenter and enterprise, understanding how Kubernetes, Cilium and eBPF works is crucial for network engineers. With hybrid mesh firewalls being the latest trend, and distributed firewalls (like Cisco's Hypershield) emerging in the market. Understanding how Kubernetes transforms traditional IP networking concepts into a dynamic, software-defined environment is crucial. This article demystifies Kubernetes observability, making it accessible for network engineers familiar with Logging and NetFlow. You may think this doesn't apply to you, but if your planning a firewall refresh anytime soon, then these concepts will need to be apart of your vernacular going forward.

The release of 100G ZR coherent QSFP28 transceivers from Nokia, Cisco and others promises to accelerate the already rapid shift from traditional core network designs to optical and packet converged architectures.

In this blog post, we dive into the OEM vendors with Wi-Fi 7 product offerings as of January 2025.
