Good thing about DDR shortage: this will trigger resources constrained engineering, and software engineers will think twice before malloc(). And maybe, they'll optimize existing code (or maybe not).

I was lucky again to speak at Cisco Live. What I enjoy in the show are hardware exhibitions and demos. This year we had a 64x800G switch powered by Silicon One G200 (51.2 Tbps) using direct liquid cooling technique

What a week uh?!
I like conferences: 5h of sleep per night, 10h booth duty, healthy food & drinks, etc. At least I did not have jetlag in Paris.

It's 2025 in the silicon valley. Age of AI, quantum computing, code and... hotel showers from the 80s!

Especially to run Doom.

Another week, another RFP:
"MEP (Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing) work will be conducted by the selected vendor or consortium"

I guess it's official: we are now network plumbers πŸ‘©β€πŸ”§πŸͺ

I spent my vacation doing my yearly IT technician shift in the family : whoever complains about @CiscoIOSXR upgrade time never dealt with Windows 11. It's taking forever!

Back into the trenches after a 2-week break. It hurts. For 2025 the plan remains the same: #pushdastuff

From what I see here, I can tell you containerlab images are often (always) requested by customers whenever they need to certify a new @CiscoIOSXR release. You do a great job.
