We ll separate the signal from the noise–or at least make some noise of our own. This week sponsored by Viptela – Software Defined Overlay WAN that delivers 10x increase in capacity at half the cost. Special Event- Viptela is sponsoring a Night of Nerdery with Packet Pushers on Wednesday May 13th during ONUG conference. Its free to attend but you must register in advance.

Amazon only provided five quarters of financial information for AWS in its presentation, and that shows that the company has not had steady sequential revenue growth but has grown both revenues and operating profit for AWS year-on-year in all of those five quarters. $1.5B per quarter, growing at 8 10%, $5B runrate AWS had a whopping $6.98 billion in assets, which is the combination of property, equipment, and accounts receivable, through the end of December, up 81.8 percent from the $3.84 billion in assets it had as 2013 came to a close.

While I believe that networking silicon is moving from 40nm to 20nm processes, competition to for spare capacity which should lower the unit costs of networking silicon which is incidental to the overall market. TSMC s monopoly on leading edge has been broken thanks to Samsung s successful ramp of 14nm with current yields exceeding 70%, said Mehdi Hosseini, an analyst with Susquehanna International Group.
