ORCHESTRATING COMPOSABLE INFRASTRUCTURE:

Composable infrastructure brings the promise of tightly integrated compute, storage and networking fabric architected to meet workload demand with less cost, less complexity and more agility. It takes convergence and hyperconvergence of infrastructure to a new level of optimization that’s less focused on physical hardware and more software-driven. It’s architected to provide fluid pools of resources that can be utilized faster, driving more value from data center expense. Along with the promise of agility and efficiency of composable, however, comes some challenges. Chief among those is a company’s ability to take advantage of all that composable has to offer without losing the very flexibility it’s trying to achieve.

Cisco ACI and F5 BIG-IP Design Guide

whitePaper | May 12, 2022

The document discusses load balancer design considerations and deployment options in Cisco ACI, specifically with F5 BIG-IP from three aspects: network design, F5 design, and multi-tenant design. This document covers features up to Cisco ACI Release 5.2. One of the key considerations of the network design with load balancer is to ensure incoming and return traffic go through the same load balancer (one exception is direct server return (DSR), which doesn't have this requirement). There are various options you can use to insert the load balancer. One way is to use the load balancer as a gateway for servers or as a routing next hop for routing instances. Another option is to use Source Network Address Translation (SNAT) on the load balancer or use ACI Policy-Based Redirect (PBR) to make the return traffic go back to the load balancer.

Accelerating High-Speed Networking with Intel® I/O Acceleration Technology

whitePaper | January 1, 2023

The emergence of multi-Gigabit Ethernet allows data centers to adapt to the increasing bandwidth requirements of enterprise IT. To take full advantage of this network capacity, data center managers must consider the impact of hightraffic volume on server resources. A compelling way of efficiently translating high bandwidth into increased throughput and enhanced quality of service is to take advantage of Intel® I/O Acceleration Technology (Intel® I/OAT), now available in the new Dual-Core and Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® processor-based server platforms. Intel I/OAT moves data more efficiently through these servers for fast, scalable, and reliable networking.

Bringing companies on-chain

whitePaper | January 2, 2023

Brickken is creating a dApp (decentralized application) which provides the infrastructure needed for companies to bring their assets on-chain and self-fund themselves via Security Token Offerings, and for DAOs to be able to operate in a legally compliant environment. Our goal is to bridge offline to online, and web2 to web3 to prepare the world for a new fully tokenized reality.
