From the very first days of working on the cloud video surveillance system, we encountered a problem that could have spelled disaster for Ivideon – it was our Everest, climbing which took immense effort, but now we have finally planted our ice pick at the summit of this cross-platform riddle. The system for transmitting sound and video over the Internet should not depend on hardware, Web clients […]
At the beginning of October, the Wi-Fi Alliance announced a new version of the Wi-Fi standard – Wi-Fi 6. Its release is scheduled for the end of 2019. The developers changed their naming approach — replacing familiar constructs like 802.11ax with single digits. Let's take a look at what else is new. / Wikimedia / yonolatengo / CC Why the name change According to the developers of the standard, the new approach to […]
The Wi-Fi technology has definitely benefited from the Wi-Fi Alliance consortium's decision last year to replace the traditional 802.11xx standard names with simple and understandable generation numbers — 4, 5, 6, and so on. This is mainly because the long-stagnant topic of Wi-Fi has suddenly surged to the top of popularity: news, reviews, and opinions can be found everywhere, in […]
Cloud gaming is referred to as one of the key technologies to watch right now. In six years, this market is expected to grow tenfold – from $45 million in 2018 to $450 million by 2024. Tech giants are already rushing to conquer this niche: Google and Nvidia have launched beta versions of their cloud gaming services, with others preparing to enter the arena […]
The client wanted VDI. They were very interested in the SimpliVity + Citrix Virtual Desktop combination. For all operators, office employees across the cities, and so on. There are five thousand users just in the first wave of migration, so they insisted on load testing. VDI can start to lag or could run smoothly — and this doesn't always happen due to problems with […]
I'm back to talking about data leaks, but this time I'll share a bit about the afterlife of IT projects through two recent discoveries. During database security audits, it's often the case that you find servers (I wrote about how to search for databases in my blog) belonging to projects that have long (or not so long) left our world. Such projects even continue to mimic […]
KlusterKit: an open-source toolkit for simplifying Kubernetes deployments and operations in physically isolated local environments. Today, we are excited to announce that Platform9 is open-sourcing Klusterkit, a set of three tools, under the Apache v2.0 license on GitHub. Our customers deploy software in private data centers, which are often not connected to the internet (for security reasons […]
Owners of solar power plants may face the need to manage energy consumption of end devices, as reducing consumption can extend battery life in the evening and during cloudy weather, as well as avoid data loss in the event of a sudden shutdown. Most modern computers allow adjustment of CPU frequency, which leads to reduced performance on one hand and […]
We developed DevOps as best we could. There were 8 of us, and Vasya was the best at Windows. Suddenly, Vasya left, and I was tasked with rolling out a new project that delivers Windows development. When I laid out the entire stack of Windows development on the table, I realized that the situation was painful… This is how Alexander Sinchinov's story at DevOpsConf begins. When the leading Windows specialist left the company, Alexander wondered what to do next. Switch to Linux, […]
It was 2013. I started working at a software development company focused on private users. I heard various things, but the last thing I expected to see was what I came across: 32 unresolved virtual machines on a still outrageously expensive VDS, three 'free' Photoshop licenses, 2 Corel, paid and unused IP telephony capacity, and other minor details. At first […]
Last December, HPE announced the release of a modular computing platform for in-memory processing using in-memory technology with the widest scaling capabilities in the world — HPE Superdome Flex. This is a breakthrough in computing systems designed to support mission-critical applications, real-time analytics, and high-performance computing with intensive data processing. The HPE Superdome Flex platform […]
As it develops the Mission Critical server direction, Hewlett Packard Enterprise does not forget about the needs of small and medium-sized business customers. Often, although not always, the process of searching for computing power for new tasks within the small and medium-sized business (SMB) client is unpredictable and challenging: needs grow, new urgent tasks arise spontaneously, and all this is accompanied by attempts to understand […]
