Windows users who develop software either professionally or as a hobby have long faced a serious dilemma: Many of the most popular and useful tools were available on Linux, but not Windows. With the advance of the Windows Subsystem for Linux, the situation changed. Now, Windows users can also access the wide variety of Linux tools.
For a long time, Windows users were left behind when it came to command interpreters because the command prompt did not allow full access to operating system internal components, and scripting also offered only limited possibilities. This should finally change thanks to Microsoft’s PowerShell. The cross-platform program not only does much better than cmd.exe, it also provides remote computer...
Play videos from your PC on your smart TV or access music across devices? That’s no problem with UPnP. A UPnP server works based on an IP network - this means that every device networked via UPnP needs an IP. This can be smart TVs, smartphones, laptops, printers, or speakers.

Data storage is an important topic across many different companies. Whether it’s project files, user data or other documents – without a suitable, easy-to-administer storage solution, data management can quickly go off the rails. Within this context, software-defined storage solutions are becoming ever more popular. This involves the use a central storage based on a software-controlled hardware...
Remote direct memory access technology makes it possible to transfer data at maximum speed, very low latency and without burdening the CPU. The RDMA transfer process does not utilize a computer’s processor nor its operating system, which results in a data transfer that is considerably quicker. Find out how it works in this article.
Memory (RAM) influences a system’s overall performance. Every activity requires devices to perform and create data that is processed. To make sure that data is quickly exchanged, working memory is needed. But what is RAM? We’ll explain how random access memory works, introduce various types, and clear up the question of how much RAM makes sense.
What is open source software (OSS) and what is special about it? The history of open source and the principles of the freely accessible software development code date back to the very first Internet technologies. In this article, we will show you what the first open source models were, how open source differs from closed source software and how you can use it to your advantage.
You are certainly familiar with the Kubernetes software. The open source container and cluster manager has established itself as a standard. However, if you want to build your own cluster infrastructure, it makes sense to turn to a more powerful tool that is also easier to use. This is where Red Hat’s OpenShift shows its strength. We explain what makes the software so popular.
NVMe, short for “non-volatile memory express”, is a protocol that was specifically developed to connect SSD solid-state memory via the PCIe interface. With a lean instruction set and the ability to access the same storage device in parallel, modern SSDs are significantly improved. Learn how you can take advantage of NVM Express.
