Scaling Multitenancy with VXLAN

Just as VXLAN overcame the limitations of the VLAN, the Cisco Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) control plane for VXLAN delivers a more scalable, standards-based alternative for IT leaders looking to build a highly efficient, multitenant data center. In this episode, Robb Boyd and Cisco Principal Engineer Lukas Krattiger show you an exclusive, in-depth look at VXLAN with BGP and how it: Allows multivendor interoperability, with a protocol based on industry standards, Enables control-plane learning of Layer-2 and Layer-3 information, Minimizes network flooding through protocol-based host MAC/IP route distribution, Provides optimal forwarding for east-west and north-south traffic.

Wednesday Webinar to Address Data Center Modernization, Flash Storage

Competition by digital native companies and the onslaught of data coming from connected devices and applications is changing how organizations do business. And it’s altering what data centers need to be and do. The vast amount of data these facilities need to contend with is a major factor driving data center change. Indeed, estimates suggest that data center workloads with more than double between 2014 and next year.

Surging Demand and The Global Internet Infrastructure

As face-to-face and public discussions from classrooms to business meetings have been forced to move online exclusively, the substantial increase in traffic is already straining the world’s internet infrastructure. What are the long-term implications of this surging demand? How will the design of the internet change to accommodate the video and other tech platforms that we will increasingly rely on? How will governments and companies manage the surge in traffic and what will it mean for internet shutdowns and censorship? How will this dynamic affect the next range of internet standards meetings which will be taking place virtually for the first time in three decades?

Mitigating Thermal and Power Limitations to Enable 5G

IEEE

3GPP has defined 5G-NR with a modulation that inherently reduces energy efficiency of linear transmitters. This causes thermal problems from the dissipated power, which is a particular difficulty for massive-MIMO arrays. Temperature rise from transmitter power dissipation limits the array size that can be safely built. Achieving the multiple business objectives for 5G installations requires solving this problem, and using Sampling technologies is showing great promise to meeting this goal. This presentation presents the physical basis of this thermal problem, and shows how the sampling operation of the switch-mode mixer modulator (SM3) solves not only the thermal problem but also how, using the SM3, signal bandwidth efficiency is increased to 14 bits per symbol (16,384-QAM) with modulation within 0.5% of ideal.
