Personnel: Jiri Chaloupka

In the presentation by Jiri Chaloupka, a deep dive into Cisco’s Ethernet VPN (EVPN) over IOS XR portfolio was provided, emphasizing the ongoing investment in service overlays. Chaloupka outlined the evolution of network underlays and overlays, highlighting the transition from traditional MPLS and IP-based underlays in service provider and data center networks to more unified and simplified approaches using Segment Routing over IPv6 (SRv6) and EVPN. The core of the discussion revolved around the advantages of employing EVPN as a single control plane across diverse network environments, enabling seamless integration and operation between service provider cores, access layers, and data centers.

Chaloupka detailed various case studies and deployment scenarios, illustrating how EVPN facilitates not only Layer 2 VPN (L2VPN) services but also Layer 3 VPN (L3VPN) services across all network domains. He emphasized the critical role of EVPN in bridging the gap between service provider networks and data centers, especially in the context of 5G and virtualization, where the convergence of these traditionally separate domains is increasingly important. The presentation covered the technical challenges of integrating EVPN in brownfield deployments, the interoperability between different network technologies, and the benefits of a unified BGP control plane for end-to-end service delivery.

A significant portion of the discussion was dedicated to explaining how EVPN can simplify network operations, enhance scalability, and improve network resilience. Chaloupka also touched upon the future direction of integrating EVPN with various data plane technologies, including MPLS, SRv6, and VxLAN, to cater to the specific needs of different network deployments. The presentation underscored Cisco’s commitment to advancing EVPN technology and its applicability across a wide range of networking scenarios, from service provider networks to data center interconnects.

Personnel: Charles Fan

In this Best of Tech Field Day presentation from Cloud Field Day 12, MemVerge CEO Charles Fan introduced the company’s Big Memory Cloud technology, emphasizing its significance for memory-centric workloads in the cloud and its ability to address key challenges faced by such workloads. The presentation outlined the difficulties stateful applications experience in cloud environments, including high costs, the inability to efficiently burst to the cloud during peak demand, and the challenge of cloud vendor lock-in. MemVerge’s solution leverages their Big Memory software, including a new Cloud Edition, to create “App Capsules” that encapsulate the state of applications, allowing for seamless migration, fault tolerance, and cost efficiency across cloud environments. This technology enables applications to utilize spot instances without the risk of losing progress, supports cloud bursting by preserving application state, and mitigates cloud lock-in by facilitating easier migration between cloud providers. The presentation also touched on the technical aspects of capturing and transferring application states, including the challenges of maintaining CPU and memory states during migrations.

MemVerge CEO, Charles Fan, provides an update on the Big Memory industry, highlighted by recent announcements related to CXL. Dr. Fan then delivers an overview of Big Memory Cloud, including the challenges faced by memory-centric workloads in the cloud, and Big Memory Cloud technology designed to address them.
