AMS-IX, TESPOK Terminate Their Joint exchange project East Africa -

AMS-IX (Amsterdam Internet Exchange) and TESPOK decided by mutual agreement to close the East project Africa Exchange. Since 2013, the two parties worked together to implement and support the creation of an Internet exchange point in Mombasa, Kenya to the SEACOM Cable landing station. However, since the exchange point came in mid-2014 it was difficult to get the parties to participate in the exchange.

To date, there have been only four parts which are connected to the platform, with only an international party namely Google and three parties based in Kenya. This led to the decision to close the Exchange Point East Africa from 1 June

This is not to say that the development of the Internet infrastructure in East Africa has reached an impasse. There is currently a project supported by the AU to create East Africa exchange point supported by seven countries. AMS-IX believes this is best for the African market, especially since it will be owned and driven entirely by the parties on the African base for the community to demonstrate that it is willing and able to take the next steps in the development of its own independent Internet infrastructure.

AMS-IX will be able to reuse the equipment, which was deployed to Kenya for other purposes, to ensure that there is no loss of investment.

AMS-IX will continue to support the development of Internet infrastructure in Africa through initiatives such as African Peering and Interconnection Forum (AfPIF) , share their knowledge and the experience, and provision of equipment to develop exchanges on the Internet.

Bay Area expansion

At the same time, AMS-IX announced its expansion Bay Area with Telx colocation provider. AMS-IX USA Inc., the US subsidiary of AMS-IX has partnered with Telx to open a new item Bay Area of ​​Presence (PoP) within the SFR1 Telx data center in San Francisco.

The partnership would also allow AMS-IX Bay Area and Telx to provide opportunities for reliable peering, fast and cost-related parties on the platform AMS-IX, including customers who are in other data center facilities.

"the large group of potential and existing customers AMS-IX USA housed in SFR1 Telx facilities, combined with the spacious design, state-of-the-art colocation space, make it the ideal place to develop the platform AMS-IX Bay area and the growth of our community, "said Job Witteman, CEO at AMS-IX ." in addition, Telx is a proven partner with over a decade of experience in the colocation and interconnection market of the United States, with whom we are greatly pleased to extend our relationship. "

AMS-IX offers Bay Area a physical platform - deployed in the three data center facilities in the San Francisco Bay. - where the parties can meet to exchange Internet traffic related to each other the exchange is based on and neutral formula distributed AMS-IX Amsterdam , which connects more than 700 unique IP networks around the world to exchange Internet traffic peak of nearly 4 Tb / s. In addition to AMS-IX Bay Area, AMS-IX USA Inc. operates New York AMS-IX AMS-IX and Chicago.

"Software Defined Storage is only as good as his equipment" -

OPINION - one of the key selling software defined storage solutions (SDS) is the ability to manage independent storage infrastructure equipment. However, because the software still requires the hardware to run, many organizations are bottlenecks, inefficiencies and limited benefits of the implementation of these solutions on the SDS not optimized hardware for these environments

Author :. Philip Roberto, CEO of Savage IO

"of software defined storage solutions enable organizations to leverage existing investments in equipment for commodities while earning the benefits of new data services in a flexible and cost effective manner. "

" to make full use of SDS solutions, organizations must implement an optimized storage server SDS without physical bottlenecks inherent or software incompatibilities that plague traditional designs of storage materials in conjunction with their software solutions. "

"software engineers continue to raise the bar that SDS can offer solutions, but often, these attributes can not be fully realized in real world applications because the material they are running upon was not designed to handle what is asked of him. "

" what organizations looking to maximize their investment in SDS need is a platform equipment storage that is designed to complement the software solution of choice. SDS needs a platform like our solution SavageStor. This solution can not only host the software itself, but also provides the ability to package very efficient, very reliable. "

IBM Launches New Linux servers running Big Data Workloads -

IBM announced new Linux servers that perform data analysis faster workloads and less expensive than a comparable x86 server. This new line "LC" servers infuse technology members of the OpenPower Foundation and are part of the IBM Power Systems server portfolio.

The new servers LC Power Systems have been designed on the basis of technology and development efforts made by the OpenPower Foundation partners - including Canonical, Mellanox, NVIDIA, Tyan and Wistron. The OpenPower Foundation, an organization with over 150 members worldwide, develops solutions on top of the open architecture of the IBM POWER processor. This open and collaborative model would allow rapid innovation currently available using the other, closed innovation methods.

The LC servers bring high performance of POWER processors to the wide community Linux, especially Data Analysis cloud and high performance computing (HPC) workloads.

"Customers need of cognitive systems that are reliable, cost-effective and able to ingest and make sense of incredible amounts of structured and unstructured data," said Doug Balog, general manager of IBM Power systems . "Kissing an open innovation model has allowed us to build systems that help translate mountains of data into business insight to action. Working with partners in the OpenPower Foundation, our new range of servers offers customers the performance they need to analyze and act on data in real time. "

Allegiant Air, a low cost airline American, is among the clients running Linux on Power Systems to analyze the data. the airline is able to immediately analyze customer behavior on their website , looking for trends such as price sensitivity to quickly adjust and provide on-site promotional marketing offers to help convert online browsing of a potential customer into a purchase.

"All companies are facing increasing amounts of data," said Brian O'Neil, director of data architecture, Allegiant Travel . "It's how you look at - and what you do with. - The results allowing you to take the lead party Pull Linux on IBM Power Systems, we were able to immediately glean valuable insights from a number of sources data, allowing us to take action more quickly and effectively than ever before. "

Three choices of Linux servers

Generally available more later this year, the new IBM Power Systems line of LC servers will be offered in three different variants; the S812LC Power Systems, Power Systems S822LC for S822LC Power Systems and commercial informatics for high-performance computing.

The S812LC system is a 1-socket 2U , equipped with up to 10 cores, 1TB of memory, the memory bandwidth 115GB / s, and up to 14 hard drives. The S812LC is a Linux system optimized for workloads that are memory and rich storage as Spark and Hadoop to give an immediate overview with an "incredible" efficiency.

The 2-socket 2U Power Systems S822LC for commercial and high performance computing come from the same computer configured with up to 20 cores, 1TB of memory and bandwidth memory 230GB / sec. The S822LC for high performance computing also comes with two accelerators NVIDIA Tesla GPUs integrated K80, the flagship offering of the NVIDIA Tesla Accelerated Computing Platform.
