Day 4

*Writing this on day 7* 

So, I’m SUPER good at all this documenting business. In case you couldn’t tell and maybe thought being 4 days behind was a bad thing. Well, ... no, you’re right it totally is. 

BUT. It’s not that I haven’t been DOING the projects/ goals. I just haven’t been posting here. Or any of the social media channels. Or anywhere else that might prove I’m not lying... dang... well... I guess you’ll just have to take my word for it. Also, there’s pics! And for the sake of the illusion, let’s imagine that I really did write and post this Friday night.

Went on the first “Adventure” which was supposed to be an Irish String Ensemble concert but turned out to be a “Mountain String Band” show with a 4 song warm up set by the Irish String Ensemble. No matter, we still had fun and even found a here-to-fore undiscovered bench on campus and sat for a second and pondered deep things like the meaning of life, finding career satisfaction, and who left this apple core here on the floor? 

Then went home and took the following picture:

I’m honestly not sure what’s going on here. I think this is the look someone gives after being punched in the eye after trying too hard to look gangsta? Not pretty but that’s what you get after walking for 45 minutes on a ghetto treadmill in the corner staring at a wall.

Regardless, everything is on track. Exercising and calorie counting. Spanish homework is coming along. Painful but coming along. Making headway on the first book on the list which is gi-NORM-ous!! Which brings us to today’s haiku:

This book is so long

Reading while walking is nice

It makes the time fly

NYC-Metro Network Upgrades

Earlier this year the ISPRIME network underwent a major upgrade.

With our hands full at the time, we forgot to spread the good news!

Read up and find out why ISPRIME is the leader in Managed Hosting solutions.

Building a Better Network

As many of our customers know, network availability has been one of the strongest points of the ISPRIME service for many years.

In fact, since our Weehawken, NJ facility went live in 2005, total network availability is measured at approximately 99.999%.

Accomplishing this was the product of several smart decisions made early on, a continued focus on engineering upgrades with reliability, as well as a good bit of luck.

Our new network design solves limitations concerns and also adds new technologies for future use.

We have increased our backbone capacity in a way that scales with each new carrier port we add in a remote POP. This translates to our doubling the overall capacity from our flagship Datacenter in Weehawken.

We have also added incredible redundancy: each uplink to a carrier/peer is backed by two diverse dark fiber paths.

In the event of a dark fiber cut, all carriers would instantly and seamlessly be transferred onto an alternate fiber path.

In the event of a power loss at one of our POPs, any traffic that is merely passing through to another POP is handled completely “passive”.

The “active” portion of the DWDM is only done at the endpoints, allowing for resilience against power loss in a single suite within a building, allowing us to maintain connectivity to any remaining unaffected carriers.

This upgrade also included a complete ‘forklift’ upgrade of our core routers from a mix of Cisco 6500/7600 and Brocade XMR/MLXe to a unified Juniper MX960 platform.

In Weehawken, we have two MX960 routers, each fully capable of running the entire facility on it’s own, and each of our MX960 core routers are also fully redundant within themselves. Both are configured with an A/B power source, each capable of running the entire system, as well as a redundant switch fabric and routing engine.

This redundancy also adds to upgradeability, enabling us to complete upgrades and perform a hitless failover rather than waiting up to 30 minutes for a reload as we had with our Cisco 6509’s.

Due to the extended time for a reboot on a 6500 based platform, many networks end up upgrading infrequently, and typically only when there is an issue so major that there is no choice.

With our new Juniper MX platform, we can perform upgrades on a proactive basis to add minor bug-fixes and new features.

As all of our customers have already come to expect, resilience from Denial of Service attacks is and has always been a priority of ours.

Juniper MX series routers have the best-in-class firewall filtering features capable of “wire speed” processing of complex rules. When combined with our large increase in capacity, both the complexity and size of attacks we can now filter for our customers is increased by an order of magnitude.

Finally, the work we have done is all designed to scale upwards both quickly and cost-effectively. The capacity on our DWDM backbone has been increased from 30Gbps per dark fiber pair, to over 800Gbps per dark fiber pair.

We configure our fiber network in redundant ‘rings’, and we have two rings facing both East and West from Weehawken, resulting in multiple Tbps capacity.

As this capacity is built into our network, such deployments could be deployed on a rapid basis.

We are always looking forward and embracing new technologies.

Compromise is never an option, just like downtime isn’t for our customers.

Day 28: Make 'em laugh

Make 'em laugh is one of my many mottos (alliteration) I feel that comedy is important and that humor is a way of saying something serious but light enough for everyone (well almost) to get it. I'm that one guy who's humor is unpredictable and mostly dry/sarcastic. 

I got to preform today (that's another fear that I'll get to) in front of children. Like first through eight graders. Needless to say we (the improve group) knocked 'em dead, not really but you get it. I was worried that the jokes wouldn't go over well, or that I'd fuck up somehow and blow it for everyone because my joke was a bit dark for grade schoolers. But everything was fine, no one broke anything/swore/was too inappropriate. I did do an awesome power slide and have a sick guitar solo for most of a scene.
