Networking technology trends for 2021

May you live in interesting times—this well-known curse of probably Chinese origins can be applied to the pandemic era we are living through in 2020. Yet COVID-19 may also be a blessing of sorts, albeit one very much in disguise: it is likely to speed up the adoption of modern networking technology that will help companies be more flexible and secure in the midst of so much turmoil. As the COVID-19 pandemic was spreading globally and forcing governments to introduce hard lockdowns, people became more online-dependent —for work, school, communication and entertainment.

Edge computing and virtualization — living on the edge

Cloud offers considerable benefits to businesses. Yet in some cases where low latency is critical, it has serious drawbacks. An emerging paradigm of edge computing is the answer to these problems. In 2016, Cisco announced the beginning of the Zettabyte Era. Since then, the amount of data produced and processed has increased zettafold, if you will. This is especially true when you look at M2M applications (machine-to-machine or more commonly referred to as Internet of Things—IoT) such as video surveillance, healthcare monitoring, the smart home, smart meters and the like.

The difference between SDN and NFV — a simple guide

Network Function Virtualization (NFV) and Software Defined Networking (SDN) technologies are similar and can easily be mistaken for one another. Given their growing popularity of late, it is good to know what SDN and NFV stand for, why they are so popular and what business benefits you can expect from them. In 2016, Cisco published the report “The Zettabyte Era: Trends and Analysis” announcing that by the end of 2016 annual global IP traffic would pass a zettabyte. To be mathematically precise, a zettabyte is a measure of storage capacity equal to 1021 (1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000) bytes.

Business benefits of CI/CD

Rare releases, tons of manual work, critical bugs detected too late, ineffective and late feedback—these problems plague the software development process many companies keep in place. They can be tackled by turning to continuous integration coupled with Continuous Delivery/Continuous Deployment, which will also generate more value for your customers/clients. Read on to understand what business benefits of CI/CD you may expect in your company. In the traditional approach to software development, major releases were spread out, occurring quite rarely—every six months, for example.

Software Quality Assurance (SQA) — Why is it important?

Software Quality Assurance (SQA) is of utmost importance for any high quality software development process. Buggy software may harm your reputation, sometimes irreparably. In this blog post you will learn about the principles of QA, testing strategies for ensuring quality in software and the benefits quality assurance can offer a business. Let’s start by explaining the main objective of QA that lie behind any successful product release. First of all, quality assurance is not only about testing and correcting bugs.

The El Dorado of developer talent — outsourcing IT projects to Poland

Let’s imagine that a new olympic sport is introduced: programming. Who would be a winner? The answer seems pretty easy: the USA, on the back of Silicon Valley, birthplace of Google, Apple and Microsoft. The most prominent figures in the IT industry--Larry Page, Jeff Bezos or Mark Zuckerberg, to name three--are all Americans, and all household names. Finally, countless talented developers live and work in the States. Among their ranks may be counted Robert C. Martin (colloquially known as "Uncle Bob"), the creator of the Agile Manifesto and Joel Spolsky, who in collaboration with Jeff Atwood launched the programmer Q&A site Stack Overflow.

Seamlessly transitioning to CNFs with Tungsten Fabric

Cloud-native Network Functions (CNFs), by all appearances, seem to be the next big trend in network architecture. They are a logical step forward in the evolution of network architecture. Networks were initially based on physical hardware like routers, load balancers and firewalls. Such physical equipment was then replaced by today’s standard, VMs to create Virtualized Network Functions (VNFs). Now, a lot of research is going into moving these functions into containers. In such a scenario, a container orchestration platform would be responsible for hosting CNFs.
