And if you have only seen Oracle or any other relational database, these issues […]
In 2010, Wargaming had 50 servers and a simple network model: a backend, a frontend, and a firewall. As the number of servers grew, the model became more complex: staging environments, isolated VLANs with ACLs, and then VPNs with VRFs, VLANs with ACLs on L2, and VRFs with ACLs on L3. Feeling dizzy? It gets more interesting. When the number of servers reached 16,000, working without tears became […]
Engineers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (MIT CSAIL) have developed a "smart surface" called RFocus, which can "function as a mirror or lens" to focus radio signals on desired devices. Currently, there is a significant issue with providing stable wireless connectivity for miniature devices, which have little room for placing antennas. This can potentially be addressed by the "smart surface" […]
