All these companies say they're looking to improve the performance of storage devices and servers by offloading the intensive processing required in storage networks, particularly those that deploy emerging protocols, such as iSCSI or Fibre Channel over IP.
Like the network processors that have emerged in other areas of networking over the past year, these new chips are aimed at handling tasks that otherwise would require complex and costly ASICs (application-specific integrated circuits).
Aarohi seems to share this focus. It's got job openings for software engineers with expertise in "TCP/IP internals," Fibre Channel, iSCSI, and SCSI, as well as real-time operating systems and CPU internals. One of the startup's engineers, Sriram Rupanagunta, helped author the Fibre Channel over TCP/IP (FCIP) documents in the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF)
Bob Friday, Chief AI Officer for Juniper Networks, explains how the advanced technology is transforming operations.
Contact center leaders from 8x8, Awaken Intelligence, and 360insight discuss the importance of agent experience.
AI may force enterprises to rewire parts of their data centers so they are fully optimized to run such workloads. The question is do you use Ethernet or InfiniBand?
