Even with today’s push towards automation of network provisioning, configuration and policy, operational processes are lagging behind and at best are stuttering as they try and combine automated steps with more traditional approaches. We rely on manually-produced static documentation, manual troubleshooting steps, manual testing processes for change, manual audit and reporting – wasting the time, energy and motivation of highly-skilled engineering staff on creating out-of-date, inconsistent and often incorrect results. Find out how Network Assurance can change all that, automating the collection and analysis of…
As enterprises evaluate which cloud model best meets their unique needs, many are considering the Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) model to take advantage of its scalability, security, control and cost benefits. Although a VPC infrastructure combines the benefits of a private and public cloud model, it also presents some challenges. These include the need for dual management and silos of experienced staff and tools for managing the networks and application infrastructure. Another challenge centers on the need for application awareness to allow the network to…
In an era when hybrid multi-cloud environments are the norm, extending the carefully architected network security policies is virtually impossible because IT teams cannot visualize their multi-cloud estate or monitor traffic behavior past the point of egress. Piecing together the cloud security posture requires combining data from multiple siloedapplications. In this POC, we will demonstrate how Forward Enterprise makes it easy to prove security posture from on-premises through the cloud. With support for all major cloud providers (Amazon Web Services [AWS], Azure, and Google Cloud…
Businesses are under constant pressure to respond to business opportunities and market challenges at an ever increasing rate. Unfortunately, traditional legacy systems or complex, inflexible new technology inhibits moving at the speed of the market. In this session we will explore a number of these challenges, and how the open solutions from SUSE can help companies simplify and modernize their software infrastructure which in turn enables them to accelerate delivery of innovative solutions. We will also look as case studies with transformation business impact in…
Change management plays a huge role in day-to-day network operations. But while automation has been used to address device commissioning and initial configuration, it’s largely been untapped for ongoing “Day-2” network operations. NetBrain fills this void and enables you to go beyond simply providing faster or more accurate change management. It enables network changes to be made as a function of the entire application delivery process. NetBrain’s intent-based technology enables you to verify the impact on every part of the network as part of the…
IT is about to experience a ‘winter is coming’ event. You’ll need to be able to manage your infrastructure without having physical access to devices. That’s because experts predict an economic downturn and more COVID lockdowns this year, which will lead to reduced staff numbers, ongoing remote work, and tighter restrictions to on-site access. In the face of all this, is your current remote network & infrastructure management solution enough to keep business and applications on track through the deep freeze? Join us as we…
A new wave of transformation is being propelled by the increased adoption of 5G and the corresponding changes to how businesses connect with their employees, customers and partners. Traditional networking infrastructure hinders the reach and agility that an organization can provide, especially as people and devices move outside of the traditional WAN boundaries. Learn how the new connected enterprise embraces the freedom of 5G and how technologies such as SD-WAN, SASE, and Wi-Fi are changing and converging enable this change business models, provide greater resiliency,…
The enterprise shift to a cloud-native environment is driving an evolution in how enterprises access data and digital applications. The traditional approach to individually managed network functions, and virtualizing functions on uCPE, is giving way to virtual network functions in the near edge cloud. But in this environment, how do enterprise network teams ensure orchestration, visibility, and control of cloud-based network workloads? How can they reduce the complexity and potential cost of moving network functions into the edge cloud? Join our panel discussion to hear…
The cloud is complex, as is the nature of cloud risk. What makes for a breach path is often multiple risk vectors that come together to create a toxic combination. Identifying, prioritizing, and remediating these toxic combinations are crucial for security teams. In this session, we share the top 5 toxic combinations that Wiz sees, explore why these stand out, and offer an approach to addressing them.
In today’s cloud delivered, work from anywhere, world there is a distinct need for consistent security policy enforcement from the edge across the WAN and to the cloud. At this session, come hear about the latest enterprise marketplace trends impacting edge-to-cloud security, and how HPE Aruba is leading the charge to help customers with visibility, control, and automation of network security across the enterprise and into any cloud. As one of only two vendors with MQ-leading connectivity solutions spanning the wireless and wired LAN, campus,…
