Network & Latency
Leveraging Zabbix, Cilium, and Iperf to ensure zero-bottleneck communication and automated security across distributed HPC environments.
Engineering the Frictionless Fabric
In High-Performance Computing, the network is the computer. **Malgukke** implements **Network-Centric Observability** by combining deep diagnostic benchmarking with automated, identity-aware security. We ensure that your data moves at the speed of hardware—eliminating latency jitter and protecting every packet through eBPF-powered orchestration.
Zabbix Monitoring & Iperf Benchmarking
**Zabbix** provides our real-time infrastructure visibility, monitoring network performance to proactively identify latency issues before they impact parallel runs. To verify fabric integrity, we utilize **Iperf** for deep-dive bandwidth benchmarking, ensuring that every 400GbE or InfiniBand link meets its theoretical throughput and latency targets.
- Real-time packet-loss & jitter telemetry
- Automated diagnostic alerts for fabric failure
Cilium: eBPF-Powered Connectivity
For cloud-native and containerized HPC workloads, **Cilium** automates network security and observability. Leveraging **eBPF** technology, Cilium provides high-performance load balancing and transparent encryption, while enforcing strict identity-aware security policies without the traditional overhead of iptables or legacy firewalls.
- Transparent mutual TLS (mTLS) for node-to-node traffic
- Zero-latency network policy enforcement
