| I was reading up on and trying to understand IBN. However, a lot of times I struggle to comprehend bookish language. Please bear with my noob questions and help me out :) Posted: 23 Feb 2022 06:24 AM PST I was reading Evolving to Intent Based Networking from This website link. Below I have written the same 5 points in (my own )simple and speaking language. It would be a great help if someone could read what I have linked on "Evolving to Intent Based Networking" and help me point out any irregularities in my understanding and also clear my doubts :) - Manual : Data center network devices were manually managed by a group of people called the operations staff. They used CLI and other basic and discrete tools for this. Questions: 1) What is the operations staff managing when we say that they are managing the network devices? 2) What is ment by discrete tools? What kind of basic and discrete tools are they referring to here?
- Semiautomated : A set of rules were made explaining how the management is going to be done . This small modification was done in the old infrastructure which provided the network some basic automation, visibility into network data and alerts that enable reaction to network events. Questions: 3) On the website link, they have written "scripts and rules-based management…". What is "rules-based management"? Are these rules a piece of code that the network understands and follows? 4) Why do we need "visibility into network data"? 5) "Alerts that enable reaction to network events" : What kind of network events are we talking about?
- Software-defined Data center : A software abstraction of the network infrastructure enables faster, secure deployment of services and applications. Questions : 6) What is meant by "software abstraction" ? 7) They mention "deployment of services" - I am unable to get some intuition regarding this, what kind of services get deployed on a network? 8) Does software defined data center have much to do with SDN (software defined networks) ? 9) What exactly is a SDN? How is it different from IBN?
- Automation-centric data center: Builds upon the software-defined data center by automating provisioning, configuration, deployment, and orchestration. Questions: 10) What is meant by the term orchestration?
- Intent-based data center: All the necessary data is constantly collected from the network that will help automate the actions required to achieve the user's intent.

| Tech Data vs Ingram Micro GPU supply Posted: 23 Feb 2022 04:42 AM PST I have been tasked with building a fair amount of medium to high end PCs. I know that GPUs are now more readily available even in just the past week or two from places like Newegg, but it isn't consistent enough for me to get everything the client needs. I logged into my Ingram micro account but they don't have a single consumer GPU in stock. I would set up an account with Tech Data, but I don't want to pay the $100 application fee just to find out they have no supply either. Is there anyone with a Tech Data account that could confirm whether they have any consumer GPUs in stock? submitted by /u/1970Challenger440 [link] [comments] |
