Recently, I had a chance to visit the NASA Johnson Space Center in Houston as a guest of Cisco, to tour the facility and check out the Callisto technology demo, a joint project between Lockheed Martin, Amazon, and Cisco to put real-time communications into space. The Orion Spacecraft of the Artemis program was outfitted with an Alexa device and the Webex collaboration suite running on an Apple iPad.
The load balancer has been a core infrastructure component for high-performance Application delivery environments for decades providing resiliency, elasticity, and security. The name “load balancer” doesn’t describe the full scope of functionality for this technology.
This week, high-performance network vendor Arista announced the expansion of its popular 7050X4 and 7060X5 switches. The former has been deployed in enterprise environments, while the latter is commonly found in hyperscale backbones.
At most trade shows, the Expo Hall is a “must see” area for attendees as that’s the place innovation can be experienced, and that was the case at the recent AWS re:Invent show. In the Expo Hall, the cloud vendor set up several stations to show real-life examples of many of its advanced technologies.
Last week, Amazon Web Services (AWS) held its 11th annual re:Invent event. The show is important for AWS customers as they learn about the latest and greatest innovations from the market leader in cloud computing. Another important part of the event is that attendees can be kept up to date on the updates from the massive ecosystem of technology partners that AWS has.
