Co-Processors as a Service: GPUs, TPUs, and FPGAsJune 27, 2017Cloud service providers (CSPs) have begun to offer a variety of compute services to meet customers’ needs. Those needs can vary from general purpose computing, data mining, and website development to more complex requirements like artificial intelligence/machine learning (AI/ML), big data analysis, and real-time video processing. This has resulted in CSPs implementing different compute types, or instances, within their cloud infrastructures based on varying combinations of processors and co-processors, memory, storage, and networking equipment, providing customers with more options to choose the appropriate mix of resources they need for their applications.

From Projects to Production: OCP and Programmable Switch Silicon Spark New Data Center EraFebruary 27, 2017The pace of innovation enabled by open networking ecosystems (switches, silicon, and software), which started with disaggregation of switch hardware and Operating System (OS), is set to accelerate with the availability of programmable data plane silicon. The networking industry is again borrowing from the compute world with the advent of network forwarding plane silicon architected as a general purpose CPU, where the actions taken are driven by a sequence of instructions; yet, rather than executing arithmetic and logic instructions, the programmable silicon is executing packet handling instructions.

VMware Targets Hybrid and Meta-Cloud UsersSeptember 20, 2016At the latest VMworld, VMware challenged its customers to be part of tomorrow and set a new vision for the company centered on what it called the multi-cloud, exactly what we have been referring to as a meta-cloud for the last 2 years, which is the use of multiple cloud service providers (CSP) moving from a hybrid cloud to a distributed architecture enabling a cloud of clouds.Subscribers Only

Barefoot Networks and P4: Making Network Hardware as Programmable as SoftwareJuly 15, 2016We first wrote about P4 (Programming Protocol-Independent Packet Processors) when it was displayed during the Open Networking Summit (ONS) in March (see our Analyst Insight Open Networking Summit 2016: Where Open Source Software Met Programmable Silicon). P4 can be applied to numerous programmable devices including central processing units (CPUs), graphic processing units (GPUs), network processing units (NPUs), ASICs (including networking), and field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs). One of the major advantages of using programmable chips for networking is additional protocol compatibility or even adding new protocols; P4 allows packet processors to support new features post-deployment. Consequently, programmable chips also decrease the frequency of hardware refreshes; switch chips based on P4 enable end users to code their chips and reuse the hardware instead of purchasing new switches every few months to support the latest software innovations.Subscribers Only

Open Networking Summit 2016: Where Open Source Software Met Programmable SiliconMarch 31, 2016The Open Networking Summit (ONS) was held in Santa Clara, California, from March 14th to 17th. Over 150 companies participated with over 1,300 people in attendance, slightly up from last year. Companies in attendance included telecom providers AT&T and SK Telecom, traditional network vendors including Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE), Cisco, Huawei, NEC, Fujitsu, ZTE, Ciena, and Brocade, and bare metal switch vendor Edgecore/Accton. Silicon vendors in attendance included Cavium and Centec. Start-up companies present included 6Wind, Corsa Networks, NoviFlow, Midokura, Pica8, Versa, PLUMgrid, and Big Switch.Subscribers Only
