Data Center Liquid Cooling 101

As rack densities in data centers increase to support power-hungry applications like Artificial Intelligence and high-performance compute (HPC), data center professionals struggle with the limited cooling capacity and energy efficiency of traditional air cooling systems. In response, a potential solution has emerged in liquid cooling, a paradigm shift from traditional air-based methods that offers a more efficient and targeted approach to thermal management.

Protect Against Netscaler Vulnerability CitrixBleed

CitrixBleed, or CVE-2023-4966, is now an infamous security vulnerability affecting Citrix NetScaler that allows attackers to hijack user sessions by stealing session authentication tokens. Unfortunately, it has affected many NetScaler customers including Xfinity, which lost data for 36 million customers as a result of CitrixBleed. There is no way to protect against CitrixBleed by configuring the NetScaler WAF to detect and block it.

Cloud-native infrastructure - When the future meets the present

We’ve all heard about cloud-native applications in recent years, but what about cloud-native infrastructure? Is there any reason why the infrastructure couldn’t be cloud-native, too? Or maybe it’s already cloud-native, but you’ve never had a chance to dive deep into the stack to check it out? What does the term “cloud-native infrastructure” actually even mean? The more you think about it, the more confusing it gets.
