Nathan Bennett recently attended Cloud Field Day and learned about Mezmo, a telemetry and observability company, previously known as LogDNA. Mezmo aims to help organizations gain a deeper, more insightful understanding of their data, including where it’s going and what it’s doing, even across different use cases. One standout feature is their Telemetry Pipeline, which aids in validating and specifying what data is needed from various sources, while their cleanly designed UI and built-in “Incident” mode for debugging are also impactful aspects of their platform.
Prosimo Is Proudly Back at Cloud Field Day 18
Eric Wright discusses the innovative approach of Prosimo, a platform that facilitates multi-cloud and multi-platform interconnectivity. The article emphasizes Prosimo’s ability to simplify cloud networking complexities. Wright appreciates Prosimo’s ability to function in both new and existing environments, its provision of unified solutions, and its ability to make changes safely and efficiently while providing clear visibility to the user.
Cloud Field Day 18 Mezmo
Chris Hildebrandt posted his review of Mezmo’s presentation at Cloud Field Day 18. Mezmo, a modern telemetry platform, offers tools for organizations to collect, analyze, and visualize data from diverse sources. The entry highlights Mezmo’s ability to understand, optimize and respond — allowing organizations to profile their data, identify redundancies, optimize telemetry data for cost reduction and compliance, and quick, efficient data routing even during incident responses.
Juniper Networks IaC Apstra
Nathan Bennett takes a deep dive into the challenge of automating the datacenter just like the cloud with Juniper Apstra. Leveraging a detailed demonstration of network orchestration using Terraform, Apstra showed how they can transform networking and speed up digital transformation. Bennett’s write-up gives a step-by-step account of how a fully functional spine and leaf network can be built and even migrated into AWS.
Juniper Apstra at Cloud Field Day 18
In this LinkedIn article, Ken Nalbone reviews Juniper Network’s software product, Apstra, presented at Cloud Field Day 18. Apstra is designed to automate network operations and simplify the management of data center networks. The comprehensive analysis covers the product’s capabilities in intent-based networking and overall ease of use, potentially making it a valuable addition to any organization’s network management toolkit.
Juniper – Building AI Clusters
In this short article, Nathan Bennett discusses how Artificial Intelligence (AI) has hit a bottleneck in performing tasks due to large-scale deployments, which Juniper aims to address by refocusing on compute power. It highlights that each GPU now has a 400G NIC, staggering amounts of networking capacity that were previously unthinkable. Juniper also offers online demonstrations through their cloud laboratory, allowing users to experience their cutting-edge technology without needing any additional hardware or connections.
Private Data Centers vs. Public Cloud: Can Apstra Automation Bridge the Gap?
In this post, Keith Townsend discusses the ongoing debate between private data centers and public clouds, highlighting the role Juniper Apstra Automation could play in bridging the gap. The article underscores Apstra’s ability to create a unified approach to IT operations, reducing operational overhead, and creating a more seamless technology ecosystem. Keith advocates for Apstra Automation as a potential solution to enhance data center efficiency in both private and public cloud environments.
Introducing Mezmo at Cloud Field Day 18
Eric Wright provides an in-depth look at Mezmo’s telemetry pipeline solution, which was unveiled at Cloud Field Day 18. Mezmo, formerly known as LogDNA, collects, transforms, and routes telemetry data to understand and optimize data, thereby controlling costs and enhancing actionability. The blog particularly praises Mezmo’s user-friendly interface and their ability to make log data more valuable by enriching it with context.
Juniper – Being an Operations Superhero
Navigating through the realms of network automation and AI cluster creation, Juniper Networks delved operations analytics in, focusing on Apstra’s role in facilitating operational understanding. Apstra aids in identifying data sources, running commands to discover network errors, and using a graph database to validate and leverage data for a comprehensive understanding of the entire solution. The data then finds its way to a visually appetizing dashboard, paving the way for s-flow and net-flow data consumption, making Apstra’s data analytics solution an essential tool in comprehending, validating, and visualizing network operations.
Cloud Tech Field Day – Day 0
Matyáš Prokop shares his pre-event exploration of Silicon Valley and meeting with other companies ahead of Cloud Tech Field Day. He met with Spectro Cloud’s CTO, Saad Malik, and CEO, Tenry Fu, about funding challenges startups face and the innovative products they’re working on, including their work with Kubernetes on the edge, as well as Charlie Giancarlo from Pure Storage. The day concluded with a gathering led by Stephen Foskett, featuring Tech Field Day delegates, providing an exciting anticipation for the upcoming event.
Mind the Gap Between Hyperscale and Enterprise IT
Stephen Foskett and Cloud Field Day delegates Allyson Klein, Eric Wright, and Nathan Bennett examine the gap between hypserscale and enterprise IT in this episode of the On-Premise IT podcast. The episode’s guests scrutinize the disparities across numerous areas, including AI and sustainability. They propose that these differences stem from the influence hyperscalers have on technological developments and discuss the importance of bridging the hypserscale-enterprise IT gap.
