  1. Implementing Secure Zero-Touch Provisioning in AI and Edge Infrastructure

    By Juha Holkkola, FusionLayer Group How DHCP Changed Connectivity In the late 1990s, the DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) quietly catalyzed a revolution in digital connectivity. Before DHCP was introduced, connecting devices to a network involved manual entry of IP addresses, DNS servers, subnet masks, and gateways. Networks were fragile, prone to errors, and severely […]

  2. From DHCP to SZTP – The Trust Revolution

    By Juha Holkkola, FusionLayer Group The Dawn of Effortless Connectivity In the transformative years of the late 1990s, a quiet revolution took place, fundamentally altering how we connect to networks. The introduction of DHCP answered a crucial question, “Where are you on the network?”, by automating IP address assignment. This innovation eradicated the manual configuration […]

  4. Disaggregated Routing with SONiC and VPP: Lab Demo and Performance Insights – Part Two

    In Part One of this series, we examined how the SONiC control plane and the VPP data plane form a cohesive, software-defined routing stack through the Switch Abstraction Interface.  We outlined how SONiC’s Redis-based orchestration and VPP’s user-space packet engine come together to create a high-performance, open router architecture. In this second part, we’ll turn […]

  5. Disaggregated Routing with SONiC and VPP: Architecture and Integration – Part One

    The networking industry is undergoing a fundamental architectural transformation, driven by the relentless demands of cloud-scale data centers and the rise of software-defined infrastructure. At the heart of this evolution is the principle of disaggregation: the systematic unbundling of components that were once tightly integrated within proprietary, monolithic systems.  This movement began with the separation […]

  6. Kubernetes on Bare Metal for Maximum Performance

    When teams consider deploying Kubernetes, one of the first questions that arises is: where should it run? The default answer is often the public cloud, thanks to its flexibility and ease of use. However, a growing number of organizations are revisiting the advantages of running Kubernetes directly on bare metal servers. For workloads that demand […]

  7. How to Deploy Lightweight Language Models on Embedded Linux with LiteLLM

    This article was contributed by Vedrana Vidulin, Head of Responsible AI Unit at Intellias (LinkedIn). As AI becomes central to smart devices, embedded systems, and edge computing, the ability to run language models locally — without relying on the cloud — is essential. Whether it’s for reducing latency, improving data privacy, or enabling offline functionality, local AI […]
