DES, DSF, DDC – Comparing Scheduled FabricArista recently launched their DES solution, the Distributed Etherlink Switch, which is essentially an end to end VOQ system – a large scale chassis. The approach is basically saying we should put a...

Are autonomous networks coming soon?We’re taking baby steps, starting with islands of automation and we’re going to automate small, mundane tasks by helping operators develop CI/CD pipelines that allow them to take innovation from their lab...

We have an issue with resolving the AI fabric, or an AI networking problem with large clusters of GPUs usually used for training. This episode looks at the issue with resolving the AI fabric and explores how an Ethernet based solution can resol...

What are the new automation sets coming to DriveNets Network Orchestrator?Autoboot profiles helps you bootstrap new white boxes from the factory. Smart Rollout is a brand new feature and it allows you to push software into...

Failure recovery is a very big issue when it comes to AI clusters because there are always failures and when the failure come, it’s a big thing because you need to stop the calculation, go back to the last checkpoint. You lose a lot of time and...

Congestion demands attention, otherwise it can result in higher latency and packet loss. The main dilemma around congestion is around avoidance or mitigation. We’ll look at how scheduled fabrics make sure that AI infrastructure is lossless and ...

Why is cell-based fabric is so much better than the alternative when it comes to Ethernet for AI fabric or AI infrastructure.

Chassis and Clos, which is better?From the perspective of scale, absolutely Clos topology outranks a chassis. From an operational standpoint, a Clos topology would mean that you will need to manage a lot of boxes and that's a bigger headach...

We're going to talk about KDDI, one of Japan's major Tier 1 operators. They recently announced that they implemented DriveNets Network Cloud solution in its network and they are very satisfied. They are talking about huge TCO advantages, about ...

How can a disaggregated network solution provide benefits in terms of Total Cost of Ownership to service providers in a long term perspective

What are three things we can learn about Network Cloud in real world network operations.

Today we're going to talk about recovering from major faults, those things that keep you up at night.

DriveNets hosted a panel for analysts and media at MWC23 in order to explain its work and hear from industry leaders on progress for disaggregated networking. Members of the panel included Igal Elbaz, SVP and network CTO at AT&T;  Jean...

Today we're going to talk again about AI networking, and we will provide the solutions for the challenges we mentioned last time. With the fast growth of AI workloads, network solutions need to be ready to resolve issues including  having ...

What are the challenges of AI Networking? We’re going to talk about AI, and specifically about AI networking. we want to talk about the challenges behind the AI infrastructure, because AI ML training, it’s very compute, i...

We’re talking about some myths about disaggregated distributed chassis or Network Cloud. The myth about Network Cloud and this architecture in general is just a one off. The myth about the operational headache. And the myth about that it’s a fa...

We're talking about operations because usually when you talk to operations people about disaggregated and cloud-native systems, they do not like it. Since it's multiple vendors, it's multiple building blocks, it's a new thing to learn. And oper...

DriveNets Network Cloud, changes the operational and economic model of the network, allowing it to scale capacity and services much faster while increasing service provider profitability.Watch CloudNets at https://drivenets.com/resources/cl...

Now that we've established that building a Network Cloud cluster  is easy, let's talk about what happens afterwards because  the operations guys are the ones that having been doing the hard work all those years, after the engineering ...

How do you build a cluster with Network Cloud? The cluster is granular and built upon multiple boxes, so you can bring them with you, and find vacant places in existing racks to put it into and not have to have a dedicated rack for a new gigant...

Today we’re going to talk about the cloud, or specifically why cloud does not matter at all. You don’t need to worry or think about the underlying infrastructure, the hardware, the upgrades, the versions, the connectivity, etc, etc. And these a...

Today we are going to talk about the things we fear the most...End of life...which we, as network engineers, fear the most. So what do we do about end of life? With DriveNets' Network Cloud you have multiple hardware options, the entire cluster...

So what do we need to know about this move from 400 to 800?  800 is real. It's here, you can almost buy it.   It's a fairly smooth transition, having forward compatibility with the stuff you buy today.  The Network Cloud, the arc...

Today we are going to talk about DNOS, the DriveNets Network Operating System. Why is DNOS important and how it's different than just your ordinary network operating?

Let's talk about  ISSU, In Service Software Updates. What's new and how actually DriveNets can eventually make you upgrade your network without service.
