Happy Monday!
This weekend was quite a bit better than last weekend. We were able to get a lot of things done including some much-needed Spring cleaning. We also started to get things prepared for our first-ever family camping trip coming up in just a few days. This will be a first for our family of four and I’m definitely looking forward to it. We’re only camping for three days at a local campground on Lake Lanier, about 15 minutes away from our home. If anything crazy happens, home isn’t too far away.
I’m hoping it will be a good experience for the kids, my seven-year-old is excited about it and my two-year-old just goes with the flow. There’s a bit of pressure on making this camping trip successful because it will determine future trips. We won’t be camping in a camper, but rather in tents, so that will add to the challenge. We anticipate a bit of rain and perhaps a thunderstorm on the first night, if the weather gets too bad, we’ve set up a contingency to camp in our minivan instead of the tent. I’ve always enjoyed camping as a kid and camping trips as a boy scout, I’m hoping to pass this love of the outdoors to my children. Do you have any tent camping tips?

Learning Center Article – All About 100G Transceivers and Uses in Data Centers
As networking continues to evolve, it has become apparent that data centers are going to do all of the heavy lifting, regardless of who the network serves. In fact, that’s already the case. Networking hubs handle virtually all digital traffic before requests eventually filter down to individual users. Because of this, data center networking is only going to demand more from its hardware and design. Meeting the needs today and tomorrow will require 100G transceivers. This guide was designed to help you better understand and navigate the world of these transceivers.
