Brocade rolled out new and enhanced campus switches to better support mobility, social networking and cloud data traffic.

Brocade this week rolled out new and enhanced campus switches designed to better support mobility, social networking and cloud data traffic in the enterprise.

Brocade enhanced its existing ICX 7750 switch, unveiled the new ICX 7450 device, and added OpenFlow 1.3 support to all members of the ICX line. Brocade also released new and enhanced campus networking products under its joint development agreement with wireless LAN vendor Aruba Networks.

The ICX 7750 is a 1U fixed configuration 10/40G Ethernet switch for campus LAN aggregation and core. Upgrades to it include distributed chassis capabilities for scale, the ability to stack 12 switches for increased core and aggregation density, and automated network configuration through consolidated management and software-defined networking extensions.

The 7750 supports up to 32 40G ports or 104 10G ports in a single device. In a 960Gbps stack, the switch provides up to 3,000 10G or 800 40G ports in a single distributed chassis.

The new ICX 7450 is a 1U switch with three expansion slots for 1, 10, or 40G Ethernet uplinks. Up to 12 7450s can be stacked, with 160Gbps of stacking bandwidth, for densities up to 576 Gigabit Ethernet and 48 10G Ethernet ports. The 7450 also offers Power over HDBaseT to power video surveillance and video conferencing equipment, VDI terminals, and HD displays, Brocade says.

To aid and abet the migration to SDNs among the ICX customer base, Brocade has made OpenFlow 1.3 universally supported on the switches, be they deployed individually, in mixed stacks, or in distributed stacks. OpenFlow operates in Brocade Hybrid Port Mode to support both OpenFlow forwarding and normal routing traffic forwarding.

Lastly, Brocade and Aruba have achieved some milestones from their joint development agreement reached earlier this year. They include new product releases of Brocade Network Advisor 12.3, Aruba Airwave 8.0, and Brocade FastIron 8.0.20 with Aruba ClearPass CoA support for unified wired and wireless policy enforcement, as well as single-pane-of-glass network management

List pricing for the Brocade ICX 7450 Switch starts at $3,095 with general availability starting this month.

Ask.fm, founded by Ilja and Mark Terebin in 2010, has 180m monthly users and is popular with teenagers

Ask. fm, the social networking site beloved of teenagers who post anonymous questions and answers, is moving from Latvia to Ireland.

US media billionaire Barry Dillers IAC Group acquired the company through its vehicle Ask.com in August for an undisclosed sum. On Monday, the company said Ask.fm would be joining Ask.coms existing headquarters in Dublin.

Ask.fm, founded by Ilja and Mark Terebin in 2010, has 180m monthly users and is popular with teenagers. But the site has been heavily criticised, including by Britishprime minister David Cameron, for not doing more to prevent cyber bullying after it was linked with teenage suicides in Britain and elsewhere.

Doug Leeds, chief executive, said that Ask.fm had also updated its policies and terms of service:

In an effort to provide new and enhanced information to our users in important areas, such as how to block and report users or problematic content, how to disable the anonymous feature or block anonymous questions, and to provide more explanation of our safety controls and website rules, he said.

There will be no changes to the fundamental aspects of the service such as charging for it or removing the ability to ask questions anonymously. Rather, these changes are designed to empower our user base with more information about how to control their experience on Ask.fm.

The company is also appointing a law enforcement affairs officer based in Ireland, which it said would materially improve the safety of the site.

Spring.me co-founder Colin Fabig.

One of the world's fastest-growing social networks will go public when home-grown start-up Spring.me floats on the Australian Securities Exchange, the final stage in the company's capital raising campaign.

Aimed at helping "online-all-the-time" Gen Ys make friends, Spring.me's social network of websites and apps for making connections through questions and answers has attracted more than5 million regular visitors since its launch in September 2013.

Chief executive Keith O'Brien says the platform aims to reach 100 million users via product launches including native mobile apps, online games and match-making technology that can predict and connect people with like-minded potential friends around the world.

"Facebook, WhatsApp and Instagram are mainly used for sharing with current friends and family, but we believe there is room for another social networking force focused on making new friends through Q&A," says O'Brien.

Spring.me was founded by serial internet entrepreneurs Colin Fabig and Ari Klinger, who share a love of social media and an eye for opportunity.

"As you go through life, you generally only become friends with around 1 per cent of the people you meet," says Klinger. "We wanted to use technology to help find the 1 per cent and remove the friction to help you meet them."

Spring.me features include group questions, where a member can ask up to 10 people online a question and get feedback from strangers, and multiple content feeds including questions, answers, photos, opinion polls and people online now.

Positioning itself as the "friendliest" social network, Fabig says extensive steps have been taken to eliminate the "nonsense and trolling" found on Twitter, Ask and Facebook via a system of crowd moderation, where volunteer members or "ambassadors" assign age-appropriate and language ratings to posts.

"With the help of nearly 1000 Spring.me ambassadors from all over the world, some content filtering and a lot smiley emoji's, we not only filter most of the unpleasant content you may encounter elsewhere, but our ambassadors also welcome newcomers to the site and help them become part of the friendly community," says Fabig.
