BEST PRACTICES FOR A DELL EMC ISILON LEAF SPINE NETWORK

June 30, 2019

For over a decade, Dell EMC Isilon scale-out NAS nodes have been using InfiniBand switches as the private network for the backend intra-cluster node to node communication. The OneFS 8.1 operating system introduced the use of Ethernet switches for the backend node to node communication. Further, OneFS 8.1.1 introduced a choice of Dell Ethernet switches for the backend to simplify configurations and provide a Dell-on-Dell solution. With the introduction of OneFS 8.1, we announced support for two primary Dell Ethernet switches serving Isilon’s backend network as a Top of the Rack (ToR). These two switches that support ToR are the S4148 and the Z9100. Only a “flat” configuration for a backend InfiniBand or Ethernet switch or chassis was supported prior to OneFS 8.2. Next-gen multirack data center solutions require performance, scale and capacity to drive new and demanding workloads and a leaf spine backend network architecture facilitates much larger deployments.

5G Security and Privacy for Smart Cities

whitePaper | November 10, 2019

Wireless telecommunications technology has undergone a tremendous evolution in the last few decades, from making simple phone calls (1G) and sending text messages (2G), to connecting to highspeed internet (3G) and providing multimedia and entertainment services (4G). Futuristic technologies such as remote robotics and virtual reality are emerging quickly and are likely to see mass adoption, while 4G cellular networks have reached capacity limits and are incapable of supporting the uninterrupted operations of these services. It is estimated that data will reach 175 zettabytes worldwide by 2025, up from 1.2 zettabytes in 2010, when 4G was first being deployed globally. 5G therefore provides a much-needed mobile bandwidth infrastructure for a world of connected objects and smarter cities.

Deepwave Digital Creates an AI Enabled GPUReceiver for a Critical 5G Sensor

whitePaper | February 10, 2020

Deepwave Digital has leveraged the Artificial Intelligence Radio Transceiver (AIR-T) to create the first deep learning sensor for a 5G network. This network, the Citizens Broadband Radio Service (CBRS), will be the first spectrum sharing service provided by the telecommunications industry that leverages real time RF sensing. Critical to the operation of CBRS is the ability to determine if priority users are active on specific frequency channels. When no priority users are present, the spectrum may be reallocated for commercial networks to provide new enterprise services or additional bandwidth to existing services.
