#HCI is pretty similar to Converged Infrastructure or CI. Just like CI, hyper-converged #infrastructure combines the main functions in a single #system https://lnkd.in/dj-9XJw #software #convergedinfrastructure #functions #softwaresolutions #hardware

6 SD-WAN key takeaways: 1. A software-defined wide area network (SD-WAN) is a wide-area network with a virtualized overlay, abstracting the software from the hardware. 2. Its key features include network abstraction, WAN virtualization, policy-driven centralized management and elastic traffic management. 3. Its architecture can be cloud-based, cloud-based with a backbone or on-premises only. 4. It can reside on commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) hardware instead of specialized equipment, reducing CAPEX. 5. Its benefits include simplified management, better network visibility, reduced cost and less vendor lock-in. 6. It was preceded by Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS), which is still used in some instances. And when integrated with Secure Service Edge functions, it offers the best security money can buy : Secure Access Service Edge (SASE), a Zero Trust Security Framework. #SDWAN #SASE

Thursday School : One CaaS to Rule Them All! RAN is widely noted to be the last application to be virtualised in a typical Mobile Network. The fact that this virtualisation is often in tandem with OpenRAN seems to have led some commentators to think that vRAN is a ‘special child’ and must be on a special CaaS (Containerisation as a Service, the middleware that the vRAN applications vCU, vDU and vRIC sit in). It’s not. Now operational and commercial niceties – putting Accelerator cards into vRAN servers for 1 example, and the Core and RAN teams choosing their vendors at times of their choosing as another example – often lead operators to use different CaaS. Vodafone UK, for example uses Dell Servers with VMware TCP for their core, and they use Dell Servers with Wind River Studio for their Open vRAN. Both VMware TCP (with a couple of extra SW modules for TCP-RAN) and Wind River Studio can both Containerise ALL applications in a network. So handle RAN CU&DU and terminate user plane in UPF right in the same server, perhaps even video analytics and EdgeCDN/EdgeADN in the same infrastructure. So while Vodafone uses Wind River Studio in their Open vRAN, and Elisa uses it for their Edge UPF deployment (Elisa’s UPF application enables local breakout to regional services, including enterprises that need fast, secure, and low-latency access to their own local Data Centres) it’s the same CaaS in both cases, and ideally one would do both, on the same infra in the same Edge DCs for fantastically low latency! #EveryDaysaSchoolDay #Telecommunications #CaaS Previous Post : https://lnkd.in/emHCgPF7

DirectPV is a CSI driver for Direct Attached Storage. In a simpler sense, it is a distributed persistent volume manager, and not a storage system like SAN or NAS. It is useful to discover, format, mount, schedule and monitor drives across servers. Distributed data stores such as object storage, databases and message queues are designed for direct attached storage, and they handle high availability and data durability by themselves. Running them on traditional SAN or NAS based CSI drivers (Network PV) adds yet another layer of replication/erasure coding and extra network hops in the data path. This additional layer of disaggregation results in increased-complexity and poor performance. Whereas DirectPV provides direct access to the storage. Here are some of the interesting design decisions taken during the development phase: https://lnkd.in/gf5iZxVz #k8s #containerstorage #minio #storage

CCSP Concept - Scalability Vs Elasticity Scalability vs Elasticity Scalability:Increasing the capacity to meet the increasing workload. Scalability enables a corporate to meet the expected demands for services with long-term strategic needs.scalability adapts to the workload increase by provisioning the resources in a incremental manner. It is actually increasing the capacity to serve an environment where workload is increasing. This scalability could be scaling up or scaling out. Elasticity:Increasing or reducing the capacity to meet the increasing or reducing workload.Elasticity adapts both the workload increase as well decrease by provisioning and de provisioning resources in an automatic manner.varying workload is served with dynamic variations in the use of computer resources.Elasticity enables a corporate to meet unexpected changes in the demand for services with short term tactical needs. It is the ability to scale out or scale in the capacity at will.
