Software-defined networking is a really cool technology. It allows you to separate the control layer and the data layer of your switches to allow more fine control from a centralized environment with different networking switches from different companies all from a single control.
So like QoS, Subnetworks, and way more, all in one box?
I wasn't familiar with that particular company, but it is a software defined networking technology. Except that one looks like probably a proprietary while I would be using the open source and open standards.
Open Networking is proprietary? Nice name for them...
No, I means the QoS networks looks proprietary from my quick Google search.
Open networking is a open technology used by companies like AT&t, Google, T-Mobile, and others.
idk i thought QoS was quality of service, and basically just assigns priorities to packets based on how latency-sensitive the data is, i don't see why there couldn't be some sort of open implementation of it
Unless im just mixing it up with something else
This is what I was looking at with that name:
https://qosnet.com/
Normal Quality of Service I think is just an open idea but this looks like a corporate solution for a full software defined WAN solution.
Should I build a desktop computer or buy a pre-built one and add a GPU
Generally the best value is used prebuilt + gpu
but the used market seems... a LOT more expensive right now, then when i checked it a few months ago
On that note what are the drawbacks of building one from scratch
You will have to source all the parts yourself, instead of just a pc and gpu
so it can take a lot longer to get everything, and research what is good
The main benefit of prebuilt + gpu is that is is cheap and easy, but if you build it yourself you can make it exactly what you what, but that adds a lot of research to do
True
What are the best websites for pre-built computers
But i bought a 1060 3gb a few months ago for 80, and now its going for over 140 on ebay, prices seem pretty inflated
I hope someone else knows a good answer to that
But in general make sure you get a computer that isnt too small/ a half height
otherwise you will serriously limit your options for graphics cards
👍
Thank you for the answers 😃
No problem 😄
Yeah, learned that the hard way. Bought a surplus desktop for $125 from my college of all places, with the intent to upgrade a few parts in it and start using it as a gaming PC. Come to find that with the variant it is, adding a fancy graphics card could overload the board.
At least I have a nice desktop for standard use at home
The heart of my system is a Optiplex DT 7010 motherboard, holy crap it has so many janky adapters on it to make it work in a normal pc case, but it does work
@VirtualTools_ what about if I find someone who made a list of the parts I would need for a good cheap gaming desktop
Do you think that would work
By research i also mean deal hunting
especially now more than ever, so much stuff is being scalper, out of stock, or just a bad price
its a pretty hard time to find good prices on stuff
It'll probably be a month or more before i start buying parts
Hopefully that changes some by then
A list of parts is a good idea though, just keep an eye out for good deals 🙂
This is a lot of work......
Lol
Yeah thats why for first time i always reccomend prebuilt+gpu
either new on both or a mixed of used
