	VCE integrates Cisco's ACI to simplify SDN deployments VCE announced the next evolutionary step in its Vblock system with the integration of Cisco's Application Centric Infrastructure (ACI) to enable policy-based infrastructure. While Cisco's ACI falls under the larger umbrella of 'software defined networking,' it's actually broader than the network.

How growing personalized online content is changing internet performance requirements CDNs have been effective because most of the content flowing across the Internet was somewhat static, meaning it is cacheable. Today, that's not the case, as more and more content is becoming personalized and dynamic, and therefore non-cacheable. Read More DARPA wants early warning system for power-grid cyberattacks Developing systems to protect the nation's electric grid has been a key goal for many public, private and government developers for years – yet exerts say the grid is still largely vulnerable of serious cyberattackers. DARPA is looking to bolster the nation's grid defenses with a system called Rapid Attack Detection, Isolation and Characterization (RADICS) that will detect and automatically respond to cyber-attacks on US critical infrastructure.

Read More 'Everything-as-a-Service' goes way beyond technology Without a doubt, Everything-as-a-Service is one of the most dominant trends in technology today. These days, you can buy computing cycles, software applications, security, or even IT on an as-needed, pay-as-you-go basis rather than a discrete, owned product. The trend is growing so fast that analysts have to work overtime to track its progress. Read More Imagination hopes Creator board will woo IoT developers to its MIPS platform Chip maker Imagination Technologies is readying a new development board to help hardware designers connect smart devices to the Internet. The Creator Ci40 is intended for use in smart home hubs, robots and other connected devices and its main advantage for Internet-of-Things applications, according to Imagination, is how connected it is.

Three primary use cases for the VMTurbo Pure Storage Control Module are discussed, including assuring performance in both homogeneous and heterogeneous storage environments. Capacity planning is also addressed. Learn More After breach, Cisco takes cert tracker offline Cisco has taken its training certification tracker offline after a 'limited' data breach earlier this week at Pearson VUE, which maintains the system for Cisco and other companies. In a blog post, Cisco says the breach exposed only the names, addresses, e-mail addresses and phone numbers of CCIE, CCNA, CCNP and other Cisco certification candidates. Read More As cloud takes off, Cisco dials up another ACI channel More than half of the enterprise respondents in a Technology Business Research survey use public cloud services to support hybrid IT, brokerage and geographic expansion. Interoperability and business process improvements are desired goals, and if suppliers can deliver, TBR estimates the public cloud market could reach $133 billion by 2018.

What does the perfect Linux distribution (or Linux-based operating system) look like for me?If I throw out all of my preconceptions of various distros, and ignore any sense of brand or community loyalty that I have (let's be honest… we all have at least a little bit of that) and focus purely on what that makes up that perfect system… what would it look like?

Criminals and other parties have access to inexpensive tools and training to attack companies and governments. Read More
