Enterprises are accelerating digital transformation by integrating edge compute, multi-cloud and IT infrastructure virtualization initiatives. This enables enterprises across industries to become more agile, reduce operational expense and deliver a higher quality customer experience. But selecting the optimal combination of edge devices, cloud-native virtualization infrastructure software stack, orchestration and automation capabilities while avoiding vendor lock-in, can be challenging. This demonstration will showcase Ciena’s multi-service virtualized solution, that combines enterprise branch edge virtualization with multi-cloud integration and an agile software infrastructure, all running on multi-vendor networking…

Infrastructure is your Network, and it has become more complex as it spans multiple public clouds and on-prem campuses and datacenters. Adding to that complexity are siloed cloud and networking teams, the strategic need for high performing delivery systems, and the desire for compliant self-service networking. With the Itential Automation Platform, it is easier than ever to maintain compliance in scenarios like this. In this Proof of Concept, Itential will demo how to maintain compliance across hybrid infrastructure while comfortably enabling self-service networking. This demonstration…
The last year and half have required massive adaptation by enterprise IT teams as employees were sent home to work. Teams have been geographically dispersed across ISPs and home networks with varying capabilities and security. The return of employees to the office will bring its own set of challenges. The ideal would be an enterprise network that employs intent-based network access control, applies and enforce consistent policies automatically, provides IT teams with a 360º view of the network and all endpoints, and employs AI/ML to…
Today, it’s easy to assume that any sort of “software-defined” or automated WAN must rely on Internet VPN overlay tunnels. But the reality is that telco-grade connections are now automated at the same level, consumable like cloud computing. In this session, learn about the why, what and how and see a demo of private optical WAN that you can deploy in minutes and consume as needed, by the month or even by the hour.
Today’s businesses rely on combinations of traditional, software-defined and public cloud technologies to form their digital infrastructure and deliver their IT business services. And while these networking technologies being deployed have changed dramatically, the operational policies, processes and tools have not kept up. NetBrain has changed all of that. NetBrain provides a robust automation platform to discover, visualize, manage and automate the entire network, end-to-end, regardless of where those ends reside. By creating a comprehensive digital twin of the entire network, NetBrain enables cross-functional teams…
Digital transformation has brought about unprecedented levels of convergence throughout the IT organization. This has led to new demands on network operations professionals, as the lines between ITOps, NetOps, and CloudOps intersect in new and sometimes confusing ways. In this session, NetBrain’s experts will talk about what this convergence means for network operations and how innovative ways of visualizing and collaborating around IT infrastructure, such as no-code solution development, are helping IT operations professionals navigate these new boundaries to better outcomes. Join our “fireside chat”…
In this Open Session, David DeVoucalla, Manager, Operational Intelligence Center of Excellence, Shell IT International, will introduce his recent fireside chat with Stacie Sloane, Vice President, Marketing, Riverbed, that discusses how Shell weathered IT transitions due to the pandemic and how going beyond end-to-end visibility in the present can help large organizations face challenges in today’s hybrid-multi-cloud environments. In his conversation with Stacie, David will share his insights across his career working at Shell for over 23 years, currently leading a team of 40 people globally for the Operational Intelligence…
By now, most enterprises understand the benefits of network automation, particularly across hybrid infrastructure spanning public cloud and on-prem datacenters. Yet uncertainty about the state of configuration on parts of their networks has many asking – Should we attempt to automate a network that is out of compliance? The standard answer to that has always been – No! You should get your network in compliance before automating. In this Academy session, Itential will demonstrate how Automation is, in fact, the only way to achieve and maintain compliance and how the Itential…
In this Proof of Concept, Lead Tech Evangelist Brandon Carroll will examine how full end-to-end visibility from the client to the cloud can help organizations face common challenges in today’s hybrid-multi-cloud environments. Many organizations understand that visibility is key when working in hybrid-multi-cloud environments but are unclear on how to resolve performance issues. Join Brandon as he walks attendees through the journey of SteelDemo Rental Cars, a fictious rental car company that is having issues with performance when agents attempt to use a multi-region cloud…
