Week 3

Had to complete a prezi this week on a network based technology of our choice. Not too familiar with many of the products I have researched, but I have selected to do it on Cisco's ACE technologies. ACE technologies are application control engines that are used to simplify application delivery infrastructure. Essentially, the ACE combines the functions of switches, routers, and computing platforms. One of the biggest issues according to Cisco, that they face on a consistent basis is security. The ACE family of products thrive because of their flexibility to work on multiple platforms as well as its functionality. Big news this week was the passing of Steve Jobs. Interesting to read long-time rival Bill Gates' reaction to the news..."The world rarely sees someone who has had the profound impact Steve has had, the effects of which will be felt for many generations to come."
