Two great new ‘Networking 101’ videos now available. This series is great for anyone needing a quick refresh or touch up on the basics and these two both focus on DNS.
DNS is key to making the Internet accessible to us humans. It’s how we can connect to techwisetv.com without needing to know anything complex from anywhere in the world. How does it know how to do this? DNS can be a complicated topic but understanding the basics does not have to be.

Having a lot of fun this year at Interop 2012. We are shooting and editing in a much tighter workflow so that we can publish these things same day and thank gosh! The stories are numerous and oh so timely. Follow along as I attempt to recap our first full day on the show floor.
As he describes it: Cisco has developed and introduced Prime Assurance Manager with one essential goal in mind – to provide end-to-end operational monitoring visibility, spanning data center to and through the branch, as a means for facilitating efficient operations and proactively protecting network-delivered applications and network availability, network performance, application performance, and end user experience data across both wired and wireless environments, coupled with troubleshooting and reporting features.
