Digital Ocean, a global cloud hosting provider headquartered in New York, announced that FreeBSD is now available the first non-Linux operating system on the Digital Ocean platform. FreeBSD is an open-source Unix-like operating system that - like other BSD versions - is derived from Unix. This OS would provide greater flexibility for developers to compile their software from source rather than the packaged binary paradigm that Linux follows.

The availability of FreeBSD, which has been strongly requested by developers using the Digital platform Ocean, was made possible thanks to a recent update backend codebase of its data centers, especially the release of their meta-data service. Originally built to complement the release of CoreOS, it enabled more rapid progress on all future distributions.

"Digital Ocean will continue to give developers more options," said Moisey Uretsky, co-founder and chief product officer of Digital Ocean . "FreeBSD differs from Linux in its history and philosophy; we want to continue shipping products to our users require. "

100+ Organization Person

The release was possible at the beginning of the new year due to laser of Digital Ocean engineering team focus in recent weeks, led by Neal Shrader, senior software engineer at Digital Ocean .

"the internal structure the Digital Ocean engineering team has changed significantly over time due to the company's dynamic growth, "said Shrader ." What started as a couple of guys coding furiously in a room in Brooklyn jumped to an organization of over 100 people serving hundreds of thousands of users worldwide. There was a continued focus on improving the way we approach, prioritize and execute this work -. FreeBSD image is a testament to the successful alignment "

Featuring an Uptime SLA of 99.99% Digital Ocean has servers located in New York, San Francisco, Amsterdam, Singapore and London. The interface of the cloud platform Digital Ocean server is said to have a single panel, intuitive control, that power users can replicate on a larger scale with simple enterprise API.

FreeBSD is an advanced operating system for modern server, desktop and embedded computing platforms. the FreeBSD code base has undergone over thirty years of continuous development, improvement and optimization. It is developed and maintained by a large team of people.

the 2-3 Ethernet switch market layer should exceed $ 25 billion in 2019, according to the 'recently published 5-year forecast report "Dell'Oro Group. Towards the end of the decade, Dell'Oro Group predicts growth data switching center to be driven exclusively by the cloud.

"data center switch will change rapidly in the rest of the decade and drive more growth in the Ethernet switch market," said Alan Weckel, Vice President of research on the Ethernet switch market to Dell'Oro Group . "We are already seeing these changes causing providers to dramatically increase the number of products they offer. Towards the end of the decade, we expect growth of switching data center to be driven exclusively by the cloud, the enterprise market is slowly decreasing. "

" The cloud will help drive the adoption of software-defined networking (SDN) is another key factor in the evolution of an Ethernet switch market dominated leads the cloud enterprise, "added Weckel ." the need of the cloud to scale, flexibility, and differentiate eventually all governed by what can be done in software. "

Ethernet switch 5 years Dell'Oro Group forecasts also indicates that 25 Gigabit Ethernet will be an important engine for growth in the data center switching and help propel 100 Gigabit Ethernet volumes, with companies adopting another class switch to support 25 Gigabit Ethernet switches used in relation to the cloud. the report also says the software will transform the way Ethernet switches are consumed by customers.

the report Forecast Dell'Oro Group 5 years provides a comprehensive overview of the Ethernet switch industry with tables covering manufacturers' revenue, average selling prices, and port / unit shipments (by speed fast Ethernet, Gigabit Ethernet, 10 Gigabit Ethernet, 40 Gigabit Ethernet, 100 Gigabit Ethernet) for layers 2-3 (both managed and unmanaged).

Magnus cloud, cyber security company based in Nashville, Tennessee, has announced the availability General of its cloud service would represent a significant advance in the defense against the most dangerous cyber attacks, including attacks based robots to sophisticated layer 7 / application layer.

using a deterministic protocol that can always identify whether a bot is hostile or benign, the service eliminates the inherent weakness of signature-based approaches used by most solutions on the market today . With its new approach and algorithm for bot defenses, the cloud solution would be an effective measure available to bot-based attacks including In-Validator, account-Take-Over and DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service).

"This is a fundamentally new and superior approach that eliminates false positives, false negatives, and vulnerability to zero-day exploits," said David Freese, CEO of Magnus Cloud . "the big retail banks and financial institutions have been ready for years for something better and we are convinced that it is."

Auto-Scaling Technology

cloud Magnus solution is based on cryptographically strong behavioral protocol classification which correctly distinguish between hostile and benign devices 100% of the time. In addition, Magnus says that effectiveness of its protocol is affected by the extreme polymorphism found in the attacks the most aggressive bots. the solution works pre-authentication and requires no PII or access to your private SSL key. The deployment would be easy, based on a Web services client.

Magnus absorbs huge attacks based bot using an adaptation, auto-scaling technology platform. It has been successfully tested against the armies of robots including 20,000 large server-class machines running in data center environments on multiple 10 Gbps (gigabits per second) networks, success rates of up to 2 million minute.
