How to solve the data problem with a new network architecture

Some enterprises have closed down their data centers, but it doesn’t seem likely that another 7 out of 10 enterprise data centers will go offline in just five years.

Hybrid cloud usage is on the rise, and in some cases, applications are being moved back to a private cloud (although it may be in a multi-tenant data center instead of the enterprise data center) for cost or regulatory reasons.

In this brief, learn why a new paradigm is needed to extend the WAN beyond the data center to the multi- and hybrid cloud environment in which the modern enterprise operates.

  • Analyst findings: Network automation for data centers

    In enterprise campus and data center environments, networks are growing more complex.

    Along with unpacking the drivers of that complexity, this webcast – featuring Senior Analyst at TechTarget’s Enterprise Strategy Group (ESG), Bob Laliberte, and CTO FSI & Retail at HPE Aruba Networking, Conrad Menezes – maps out how to address the challenge by leveraging network automation.

    Watch now to discover:

    • The benefits and obstacles of network automation
    • How AI-powered cloud-based management can support your organization
    • And much more

  • The impact of compute-intensive workloads on network infrastructure

    Data centers consisting of hundreds of thousands of servers process massive amount of data driven by cloud computing and big data applications as well as new and emerging workloads such as AI/ML.

    These emerging workloads, which may span different geographical areas, need greater bandwidth and higher efficiency when having to interconnect compute, storage, and memory across and/or within a rack at higher speeds.

    In this white paper, join Cisco and Panduit as they describe some of the trends in data center connectivity and the impact this compute-intensive workload have on cabling and network infrastructure design with corresponding deployment guidelines.
