The Future: 5G And Consequences For Factory Connections

5G will transform the operation of manufacturing LANs and create greater opportunities for analytics in the smart factory. Initially, 5G will make it possible to “untether” machines from their wired connections, making it easier to rearchitect the factory floor rapidly. One PC board plant can change the products it produces over 300 times a day. In addition, the fast, 5G connections between the factory floor and analytics placed at the Edge permit firms to evaluate complex manufacturing processes quickly due to 5G’s very low latency….

Spinelessness: The Future of Data Center Networks?

Leaf-spine and Clos network topologies have become ubiquitous in modern data centers to achieve high throughput for data-intensive applications.  In fact, such designs are not optimal: recent research has developed other topologies, specifically expander graphs, that achieve higher throughput or lower cost, along with potentially easier incremental expansion.  In this talk we’ll explore whether this theoretical performance efficiency can be realized in a practical way to improve enterprise leaf-spine data centers.  This leads to a “spineless” data center, with a single type of switch rather than having separate…

Wiz Proof of Concept: Find Your Most Critical Risks and Harden Your Cloud Against Attack

When security breaches happen in the cloud, it’s usually not just one thing that went wrong. In many cases, attackers don’t exploit a single misconfiguration or vulnerability but rather a toxic combination of multiple issues that in isolation wouldn’t make your cloud susceptible to a breach. Until now, the complexity of multi-cloud environments made it challenging to find these toxic combinations and remediate them to reduce your risk. In this session we’ll show you how Wiz helps organizations see their clouds the way an attacker…

Broadcom Proof of Concept: Broadcom Redefines Modern Network Observability with Embedded Log Analytics & Contextual AI

IT operations teams often struggle to assemble an effective network performance management (NPM) toolkit because the landscape is becoming increasingly complex each day. The Operations, Administration and Management (OAM) based low fidelity data collection methods e.g. SNMP, ping had been historically targeted towards human operators to monitor and diagnose the Traditional data center networks. With Modern high-definition Network telemetry data from SDN, SD-WAN, Hybrid cloud(s), real time observability becomes a challenge, resulting in blind spots, Higher MTTR. The sheer Volume, Velocity and Veracity of network…

Alkira Proof of Concept: Harnessing Infrastructure as Code to Deliver Elastic Networks of the Future

Automation is now a business imperative that underpins elasticity and intersects directly with business outcomes. In this demonstration, William Collins, Principal Cloud Architect at Alkira, will deploy a production-grade network spanning multiple clouds and sites with unified segmentation and security services, all via code and delivered using CI/CD. Realize what is possible when Alkira Cloud Services Exchange (CSX) unifies the network and Infrastructure as Code takes the driver’s seat.

Zscaler Proof of Concept: Enabling Enterprise Digital Transformation

You’ve probably been hearing a lot of talk about digital business transformation. But has anyone talked to you about what it actually means for your organization? Why does it matter? What does it entail and how do you start? In this video whiteboarding session, you’ll have the chance to hear from Zscaler’s Global Customer Success Leader, Bill Lapp about the drivers of digital transformation, get answers to your questions, and learn how to take the first steps—or the next steps—on your journey. The session will…

Cato Networks Proof of Concept: Cato Networks SASE Cloud In Action

In this PoC we are going to show how Cato’s SASE Cloud can serve as an elastic infrastructure to connect and secure on-premise and cloud resources all over the world, add more branches to the network with near-zero effort, and onboard thousands of remote workers seamlessly and without compromising on security or performance.

Aviatrix Proof of Concept: Aviatrix Cloud Network Platform: What You Need to Know in 15 Minutes

Take 15 minutes to understand why hundreds of enterprise customers have chosen Aviatrix as their strategic cloud network platform. Learn how Aviatrix brings the intelligence of BGP traffic engineering into your cloud network, leverages active-active, full-mesh ECMP high-availability, extends network segmentation across clouds, enables wire-speed IPSec encryption across data center-to-cloud connections and provides a multi-cloud Terraform Provider that abstracts the complexities of multi-cloud networking from your Infrastructure as Code automation.

NetOne Systems Proof of Concept: Applying NetSecOps to Elastic Infrastructure

Both users and applications are shifting into the uncontrolled facilities like home network and cloud. And it’s getting tougher to detect the issues and maintain appropriate security and network configuration as these are affected by various dynamic factors which are also uncontrollable. We have created and would demonstrate the framework and mechanism which provide the observability for uncontrolled facilities and achieve dynamic interaction with security and network operation. With our demonstration, we will show how easily we can detect the security and performance issues thanks…

Gluware Proof of Concept: Accelerating Multi-Vendor Network Automation – Zero to Automated in Under 20 Minutes

In this POC we will look at how GluwareⓇ Intelligent Network Automation software can be used to rapidly automate your existing multi-vendor, multi-domain network across traditional (CLI), modern (API) and public cloud. It’s time to move on from legacy, unintelligent NCCM solutions. Stop doing the heavy lifting coding, testing and maintaining scripts and playbooks. See how Gluware ingests the network through discovery, performs interrogation then enables config drift monitoring, config auditing, config and state query, config management and more – all in under 20 minutes!…
