In this #CiscoLive article, Sulagna Saha writes on The #OODA loop, standing for observe, orient, decide, and act, is a key decision-making model known for its effectiveness in combat operations. Cisco XDR is built to hyper-enable this loop in #cybersecurity, described by distinguished engineer Matthew Robertson as “an efficiency tool for Security Operations Center”.

In this Cisco Live US article, Sulagna Saha writes on the inevitable trade-off of upgrading to a new technology, which often results in complex operational workloads for network operators. Cisco's Nexus One Fabric Experience aims to simplify this by providing a unified management solution for different data center network fabrics, making operations more consistent and reducing the technical burden. #CiscoLiveUS #TFDx

In this #CiscoLiveUS article, Sulagna Saha writes on the increasing frequency and complexity of network outages and disruptions, which can have disastrous consequences for businesses and users. To address these issues, Cisco ThousandEyes emphasizes the need for comprehensive digital experience assurance (DXA) through enhanced visibility, AI-augmented intelligence, and closed-loop operations, introducing new solutions like Cloud Insights, Traffic Insights, and Shared Cross-Domain Context to improve troubleshooting and service reliability. #TFDx #CiscoLiveUS2024

Microsoft has released an accountability notice after the big CrowdStrike outage. According to the release, Microsoft is going to change and innovate in the area of end-to-end resilience. This includes things like VBS enclaves, which require no kernel mode drivers, as well as Azure Attestation, which determines secure boot posture. The messaging indicates that Microsoft sees kernel access is their biggest issue and they are going to try and develop new tools that eliminate the need for it. #Rundown

Marvell Technology just released a new line of #CXL 2.0 products under the Structera Engineering LLP brand, bringing additional memory to servers for #AI and cloud workloads. The line includes support for up to 4TB of DDR5 memory as well as an intriguing offering that enables customers to reuse DDR4 modules with modern servers. #Rundown

Marvell Technology has a new fast cat on the market. The #Teralynx 10x switch is a 51.2 Tbps beast that is aimed at AI networking. It has some of the lowest latency on the market along with low power consumption and programmable features. The Teralynx also runs the open source SONiC operating system, which Marvell has backed for a number of years. In addition to AI networking, large cloud providers are interested in the high speeds and low latency of the Teralynx. For more on this news let's turn it over to The Futurum Group Research Director Ron Westfall.
