Essentially, the ExtremeSwitching X465 is the third generation and a logical continuation of the Summit X460 and Summit X460G2 switches. They are 'universal' in the sense that they can be installed at any level of the network, — as […]

5.8 million IOPS: why so much?

Hello Habr! Data sets for Big Data and machine learning are growing exponentially, and we need to keep up with processing them. Our post is about yet another innovative technology in the field of high-performance computing (HPC) demonstrated at the Kingston booth at Supercomputing-2019. This involves the use of Hi-End storage systems (SDS) in servers with graphics processors (GPU) and GPUDirect bus technology […]

If all stories were written in a science fiction style

Roger and Ann needed to meet Sergey in San Francisco. 'Shall we go by train, steamboat, or airplane?' Ann asked. 'The train is too slow, and traveling by steamboat around South America would take several months,' Roger replied. 'Let's fly by plane.'

The Brazilian System is Not a Myth. How to Use It in IT?

The Brazilian system doesn't exist, but it works. Sometimes. To be precise, the express training system under stress has existed for a long time. It is traditionally practiced in Russian factories and the Russian army. Especially in the army. Once, thanks to a strange Russian television program called 'Eralash,' the system received the name 'Brazilian,' although this name originally only pertains to the positioning of players in football.

Enabling Enhanced Session Mode for Arch Linux Guests in Hyper-V

Using virtual machines on Linux in Hyper-V straight out of the box is somewhat less comfortable than working with guest Windows machines. This is mainly because Hyper-V was originally not designed for desktop use; you can't just install the guest additions package and get functional graphics acceleration, clipboard sharing, shared directories, and other conveniences, as you would […]

My unrealized project. A network of 200 MikroTik routers
