Today’s network is not a straightforward routing only proposition. Network engineers not only need to be the expert on all kinds of routing and protocols, but they also need to have a good understanding of security. The melding of the WAN edge with the security perimeter are the normal now. Pull in Wireless WAN with 5G and security, you have a whole new way of doing business. Remember the edge isn’t just in buildings any longer: in-vehicles, pop-up locations, IoT devices, and on and on…. This Academy session with talk about high availability routing and how a centralize cloud hosted combination NOC/SOC will change the game. Learn how Cradlepoint can change the conversation.

Speakers:

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 would, allowing them to fix the most critical risks in their cloud environments and harden them against attack.

With the ongoing shifts to successive waves of Cloud infrastructure, enterprises are becoming eco-systems of inter-connected cloud services, adopting technologies and services from multiple cloud providers in the form of IaaS, PaaS and SaaS. In this new environment, the Cloud has become the new Data Center, and the Internet the new Network. A key feature on this environment is that most digital enterprises no longer aim to own and manage infrastructure & platforms. Instead, they are seeking to leverage managed cloud services and relying on automation and orchestration software for end-to-end visibility, accountability, and closed-loop control of these services, from the branch or campus to the cloud. This shift to a multi-cloud, “any-edge” virtualized environment can be quite complex, even for large enterprises. Join this session to learn how Ciena’s Multi-Service Virtualized Edge Solution’s combination of multi-vendor edge devices, virtualized and containerized connectivity and application workloads, cloud-native integration, orchestration and automation software stack and full-life cycle systems integration services can facilitate your cloud journey.

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 monitoring data stream isn’t actionable by human operators efficiently anymore; it’s only suitable to be consumed by machines. As the Industry leading NPMD solution provider, DX NetOps from Broadcom is positioned at the forefront of this revolution. We are transparently pairing the Fault, performance, Flow & Log data with appropriate downstream ML algorithms, for gaining contextual analytics by the operators within a single-pane of glass monitoring console.

Even before COVID-19, Gartner predicted that by 2024, more than 60% of SD-WAN customers will have implemented SASE, compared to 35% in 2020. Why? Because the digital business requires enterprise-grade security and optimized connectivity to everyone, everywhere; and IT can’t deliver this with just SD-WAN, global crisis or not.

Network solutions designed to support only people in the office are no longer relevant. Unlike SD-WAN, SASE was designed in the cloud, as an agile network infrastructure to support the way business is done today. SASE delivers converged networking and security to all edges and locations. With SASE business continues as usual.

You probably have some doubts and many questions. Join our open-ended Q&A session, where Eyal Webber-Zvik, Cato’s VP Product Marketing, will relieve any doubts and answer all your questions.

Here are some examples to get you started:

- What exactly is SASE, and how is it different from SD-WAN, SWG, firewalls, WAN optimizers, etc.?

- Secure and optimized remote access has become absolutely critical. How does SASE help?

- Will I need to manage SASE myself, or is it offered as a managed service?

- SD-WAN reduces MPLS costs, and there’s no way I’m giving that up. Why can’t I just ask my carrier for SASE?

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 to implement automation to remediate problems quickly, to manage configuration compliance and security, and to confirm that ultimate the performance design intent is maintained. A key component of NetBrain is its “No-code” automation environment. By using templated, drag-and-drop tools that allow non-coders to build robust network automations, network teams can transform from simply “keeping the lights on” in a reactionary fashion, to drastically reducing the MTTR of network tickets and proactively maintaining the high-performance delivery of IT business services. In this proof-of-concept, NetBrain will demonstrate how to bring no-code automation into a hybrid network infrastructure for more efficient operations and faster response to network tasks and tickets.

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 instantly identify, isolate, and remedy anomalies, even as alerts are being provided. The solution would need to work in multi-vendor infrastructures, support brownfield environments without lift-and-shift of current hardware, be cloud-based, and deliver it all in a single-pane-of-glass portal. This session will look at recent advances in technology from AI/ML to zero trust that make it not just possible, but essential, and include a demo of WiteSand’s approach.

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 platforms. We will show how Ciena’s solution makes it easy to onboard multiple tenants with centralized management and operational control to support the delivery of network and cloud-based services that accelerate the enterprise path towards Cloud 2.0.

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 roles for leafs and spines. We find that such designs can indeed be more efficient even at small to moderate scale, and we introduce an efficient routing scheme for such networks that uses standard hardware and protocols. This line of work opens new research directions in topology and routing design that can have significant impact for the most common data centers.

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. For electric batteries, Ford is using a 5G network slice to send 1000s of readings from smart welding devices to a nearby Edge for analysis in microseconds. This session will explore some of the other impacts of 5G on the factory, including how companies are moving ahead, what benefits they hope to achieve, and how the 5G efforts will change as 6G becomes available.

Cloud service providers offer convenience. Need to scale up capacity or scale it down? They deliver. Need to extend your on-prem workload controls to public cloud providers? They don’t deliver. Thus the paradox; you hear, "why aren’t you using the public cloud, as they offer so many conveniences?" At the same time, you hear, "why are you using a public cloud as they don’t offer controls needed to protect your brand?" In this keynote session, Nick Lippis and Ernest Lefner introduce Enterprise Cloud 2.0 and the work being done within the ONUG Community to enable its build and rid us of this trade-off.

Enterprises across multiple industry sectors are making the shift from a hardware-centric to a software-centric IT infrastructure to increase operational agility, reduce cost and ensure that employees have ‘always-on’ access to the data, content, and ensure that employees have “always-on” access to applications they need to do their jobs—regardless of their physical location. This new software-centric, “virtualized” infrastructure combines network connectivity, digital business applications and multi-tenant, multi-cloud integration at the remote branch premises edge, the local data center edge, or the cloud edge. But the evolution to a multi-service virtualized edge environment is often not a simple task for most enterprises. Migrating from a rigid hardware-centric environment to an agile, software-based, disaggregated environment can be a complex endeavor, especially when it involves multiple virtual network functions, new containerized business applications, and multi-tenant cloud services from a variety of suppliers. This new environment requires a combination of skill sets and expertise, including edge devices, multi-service edge software stack, orchestration, automation, analytics and assurance software, and multi-vendor system integration. Join this session to hear from Ciena’s team of cross-functional edge leaders learn the four key ingredients to facilitate the shift to a multi-service cloud virtualization and edge compute infrastructure. You’ll hear lessons learned and best practices from real-world experience combining edge devices, software and system integration that have enabled enterprises from retail, finance, logistics, manufacturing, and other industries accelerate their evolution to a virtualized, multi-cloud and edge compute IT environment.
