  • Edge Infrastructure Orchestration and Management

    * Click on the video to see attachments pertaining to this webinar | Due to the prevalence of 5G and the rise of Edge computing, everyone has been focused on the potential services that could be provisioned and leveraged at the edge, such as Security Computer Vision, Data Analytics as well as AR/VR applications. All of the above are fair use of the opportunities that 5G will provide. There is; however, a challenge that seems to be glossed over and that revolves around infrastructure management, especially disparate sites. A lot of companies struggle with provisioning remote sites, getting them functional in a timeous manner as well as the subsequent management of KPI's through a central interface that would follow. At stake here is time as well as money and resources, ensuring the minimal time is spent in getting the sites up and running, as well as ensuring critical local functions are maintained. Nearby Computing has an innovative solution for this to facilitate the provisioning and management of edge sites, leveraging nZTP functionality as well as the active monitoring of sites. This allows for System Integrators and Managed Service Providers to solve an infrastructure management problem as well as introduce the possibilities of Edge computing to enterprise customers. In this webinar we will look at the following: - Challenges facing customers with provisioning remote sites - How NBY Infra could solve this using nZTP - All about how to easily manage diverse edge sites through a single pane of glass - Onboarding existing functions to be managed as well - The journey to leverage the power of Edge Computing and applications - What is next?

  • Installing and Configuring Carbonite Migrate on Ubuntu and Exoscale

    Carbonite Migrate can be used to migrate live physical, virtual or cloud servers to the same or different platforms. In order to migrate live open files, a small agent needs to be installed and configured on the source (current production server) and the target (new destination server). This video shows how to install and configure the Carbonite replication agent on Ubuntu Linux. The same steps can be used on any physical or ubuntu server, however the process to install on Red Hat, Oracle Enterprise Linux, SUSE, CentOS and Rocky would be very similar. We'll show how easy it is to provision a suitable target server in Exoscale Cloud, as we will be creating a follow on video showing how to migrate Linux servers from VMware ESX to Exoscale.

  • Itential ServiceNow App: Network & Infrastructure Automation in ServiceNow Flow

    IT organizations spend a significant amount of effort keeping up with changing application and infrastructure requirements, which often requires changes to network infrastructure such as firewall rule access, load balancer provisioning, etc. This process can take longer than anticipated due to manual processes required to coordinate between app, network, and infrastructure changes. This can create a serious time lag on productivity and velocity. With Itential’s latest release of its ServiceNow App, Application teams are now enabled to self-serve network and infrastructure services as a fully automated processes – bridging the gap between IT Apps and the network. This new release introduces Itential Actions that can be directly embedded in a ServiceNow Flow. These Actions give ServiceNow teams access to a self-service catalog that enables their IT processes to directly gather operational network data, request new network resources, or orchestrate changes across multiple network domains. This means that any IT request that experiences delays due to manual network processes can now be automated as easily as other IT resources, enabling you to deliver IT services at maximum efficiency. Join us for a live demo where Rich Martin, Director of Technical Marketing at Itential, will show you how to: • Publish an automation in Itential to provide self-service infrastructure in ServiceNow. • Build a Flow that queries network inventory and operational data for dynamic use in ServiceNow. • Build a Flow to qualify network resource availability for a new service or site. • Build a Flow to provision a new network service as part of a larger IT request process. • Understand how Itential Actions enable self-service automation through Example Flows.

  • From Infrastructure as Code to Environment as Code

    Implementing and maintaining Infrastructure as Code (IaC) to automate the provisioning of Environments, becomes challenging as you scale. IaC is good at provisioning individual resources (or a few of them together) but engineering teams want an entire environment with various components like networking, platform (ec2/eks), database, s3 buckets, etc. to deploy and operate their applications. To provision and tear down an entire environment, these teams have two options. They can either hand roll pipelines to manage individual resources and then manage complex dependencies between these resources within those pipelines or create a monolith IaC for the entire environment. These approaches are inefficient and slow down feature development and innovation. What if there were a better way? In this presentation, we will introduce Environment as Code that enables teams to provision & teardown entire Environments in an efficient way and promotes best practices like loosely coupled infrastructure resources. Key Takeaways: ● Challenges implementing & maintaining Infrastructure as Code ● What is Environment as Code? ● How Environment as Code can help resolve those challenges?

  • VMware ESX to Exoscale Windows Migration Demo

    This video will show you how easy it is to migrate live running Windows server from VMware ESX to Exoscale Cloud. We're using Carbonite Migrate to make a real time copy of a live Windows 2019 virtual machine currently running on a VMware ESX and replicating it to a virtual machine we have previously provisioned in Exoscale Cloud. Downtime is kept to the absolute minimum. Installation, configuration and the mirroring (synchronisation) of the server, it's configuration, applications and data, all take place while the source ESX virtual machine remains live, and it's only for the last couple of minutes at the end, when the ESX source server is shutdown and the new Exoscale server is started up, which typically takes 10 to 15 minutes. The same type of migration could be performed for other Windows versions (2003, 2008, 2008R2, 2012, 2012R2, 2016, 2019, 2022) and there is a very similar workflow available for Linux Environments (Red Hat, CentOS, SUSE, Oracle Enterprise Linux, Rocky). These servers could be physical, virtual or cloud, and they could be running pretty much any application.
