The now-aging TCP/IP protocol might not be around for much longer. That’s if a bunch of researchers promoting network coding have their way.

Travelling with Twisted Pair...

Brilliant Video Productions just wrapped it's week long shoot with Twisted Pair on Network World. We shot 30 plus interviews over a three day period utilizing the Newtek Tricaster Pro FX with some bugs we had to iron out on the fly. I am sure Keith Shaw of Cool Tools fame will ask Newtek to borrow one of these bad boys to review it so I will leave that review to the professional but for the most part everything went rather smoothly. There was the usual trade show snags with electric, carpet and show management not talking to anyone but itself. The dynamic duo persevered however and the show was a success according to both members. They were able to get their interviews up faster then ever before. All of the interviews are now visible on the Network World site at www.networkworld.tv Their wrap up podcast can also be seen at http://www.brilliantvideoproductions.com/video/demo.php Hanging with these two techie dudes was great fun, and Brilliant Video Productions hopes to do an encore with them soon. Both guys Keith and Jason know their subject matter very well and they enjoy what they do. The bonus is they get to test out new software and gadgets and report about it. How cool is that? Anyway, I think Interop 2008 was a great experience and success for Brilliant Video Productions and we hope to have more opportunities in 2008 to showcase just what we can do as a player in the live 2 camera video streaming arena. P.S. My thanks to Glenn at DD Video productions in Las vegas for the local rentals. He was flexible, professional, and responded when no other Weva contacts in Vegas would. Thanks again Glenn. Also thanks to Sam Avellone at NPI AV Cleveland for sending out the Tricaster to a virtual stranger. You Rock Sam. Sam sells Tricaster's like Pez so he is the man to see about them.

Juniper’s MX upgrade takes us back to the future - Zeus Kerravala, ZK Research

Juniper unveiled a new set of hardware and software products that run on the MX Series 3D Universal Edge router. By deploying the MX 3D, service providers can offer a number of revenue-generating, value-added services, such as load balancing, firewalls, content management, security services and content streaming right from the edge of the network. After a closer look, the range of services Juniper is offering is broader than what was available in the IP Service Switches of 10 years ago, but the concept is the same.

The MX 3D enables both consumer and business features including content streaming, security features and application network, as well as some operational tools in completely isolated, virtual instances as line cards within the router. So this raises a question: if so many companies failed at doing this before, why will Juniper be successful now?

I think the answer to this is that the industry is better aligned to network or cloud-based services. A decade ago, almost all enterprise IT infrastructure, and home infrastructure for that matter, was located on premise, so the concept of buying something like a firewall as a service was way outside the comfort level of corporate IT. Today that’s not the case. Cloud services are commonplace, and they are exactly what give network-based security and application delivery services a purpose. Also, when the concept of edge services was hot before, the value proposition was that a telco could tie these additional revenue-generating services to the other products it sells. What other products? An Internet pipe? That’s hardly game changing. Today if an enterprise is going to push a server into the cloud then it stands to reason that everything that surrounds the server should also be made available in the cloud. That’s the new telco opportunity. The shift to cloud computing opens the door for telcos to sell a wide range of other cloud services. The MX 3D is a much more cost-effective, scalable way of offering these servicescompared to deploying individual appliances on a one-off basis.

The one big challenge that I see here is the pricing model. Thinking back, the pricing model for something like a network-based firewall ranged from free to several hundred per month. Any work Juniper can do here to help its telco customers come up with pricing models will be well received, as I’m not convinced the service providers fully understand what to charge for these types of services.

Overall, though, this is a strong announcement for Juniper and helps showcase the power of the Trio chipset. Contrary to much of the media hype, ASIC’s aren’t going away any time soon and the MX 3D’s ability to offer rich, multimedia services is a good example of why. - Zeus Kerravala, ZK Research - October 5, 2012
