Network Infrastructure

SD-WAN is all the rage in enterprise networking these days. IT teams are excited about the opportunities SD-WAN creates to transform their WAN to become simple and agile, while improving security, and reducing costs.

As you review and look at your WAN challenges, we would like to share insights and takeaways, following hundreds of SD-WAN customer deployments worldwide, to better aid and inform your enterprise network decisions.

Join us for an introduction to Cisco Meraki and our cloud-managed IT products, including wireless APs, security appliances, switches, cameras, and EMM.

Software defined storage, or SDS, is growing in popularity in both cloud and enterprise accounts. But what makes it different from traditional storage arrays? Does it really save money? Is it more complicated to support? Is it more scalable or higher-performing? And does it have different networking requirements than traditional storage appliances?

Watch this SNIA webcast to learn:
•How software-defined storage differs from integrated storage appliances
•Whether SDS supports block, file, object, or all three types of storage access
•Potential issues or pitfalls with deploying SDS
•How SDS affects storage networking
•Scale-up vs. scale-out vs. hyperconverged vs. cloud

This session will cover why State and Local Governments have headed the list of Ransomware Attacks. Part 1 will delve into why is this the case and Part 2 will address what can be done to prevent these attacks.

SPECIAL GUEST SPEAKER: John DeBella, Director of Infrastructure Management at Teradyne

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Global networking needs of enterprises have shifted dramatically. It is no longer just about having a static and eminently fair and stable network infrastructure of manually configured routers and deterministic - yet static - MPLS.

The new digital enterprise model demands an underlying global network that is easy to consume, agile to react to business needs and simple to manage. Hence enterprises have turned to SD-WAN with alternative direct internet access (DIA) site-to-site connectivity that augments and replaces MPLS for business-critical applications.

Join us as we discuss:

>> How Teradyne leverages private and public internet connectivity to deliver an optimal application experience for all stakeholders

>> New, recently-released built-in technologies that enable Ayaka to deliver on the needs of WAN transformation for digital enterprises

>> What’s in it for network managers as they drive a Netops approach for their enterprises

>> How to deliver on ‘internet-first’ approaches connectivity, tracking the ‘cloud-first’ approach for applications

What are the considerations, trade-offs, and keys to maximizing the impact of your WAN transformation project?

Businesses experience disengaging clients if their websites and mobile apps don’t respond in 2, 3 seconds. They lose revenue and get bad media coverage when customer experience breaks because of large scale unforeseen load and access from increased user traffic.

Be it an online sale event, a new financial service offering or a new game launch, every organization has planned or unplanned real-life situations where the user traffic increases 2X, 3X compared to normal days.

Pressure is on for app dev and infrastructure teams. As they transform to deliver better apps more frequently, their continuous delivery and Agile + DevOps journeys break too if end to end performance testing at scale is not done regularly to most closely replicate real world conditions and for peaks.

In this session, guest speaker, Forrester VP and Principal Analyst Diego Lo Giudice and, Akamai Senior Director Jason Hatch will share latest performance testing trends on how successful organizations are delivering more frequently while meeting the new pressing requirements of large scale performance load, concurrency and speed.

Join us on 17 Oct, 14:00 Singapore time to learn:

• Application performance needs in the accelerated digital world
• Continuous performance testing meets continuous delivery
• Modern performance testing trends
• How to be ready for the unexpected with 2X, 3X, 4X user traffic

VPNs have been a cornerstone of secure networking for the last 20+ years. While VPNs have stood the test of time, today, we now know that a true security architecture is hinged upon the concept of Zero Trust Network Access.

Most organizations have already poured a great deal of time and resources into building out their VPN infrastructure. Considering that the technology does exactly what it’s supposed to do, ripping and replacing it may not make much sense.

What if we tell you that you don’t have to rip and replace your VPN in order to start your journey towards Zero Trust Network Access? Join us to this webinar to find out how.

Manufacturing and critical infrastructure organizations require the right OT solution that can deliver visibility & security from emerging threats. But that is only half the battle. Each environment is a bit different and what may be appropriate for some, will simply not work for others. Whether you are big or small, distributed or centralized will determine the right deployment model for you. Join us as we discuss a variety of deployment best practices based on different organizational models, structures and goals. After all, it is about leveraging the right model for YOUR organization that will ultimately achieve a fully secured environment.

Telcos are facing multiple challenges in adopting the two main disruptive technologies that are NFV and SD-WAN. Some are inherent to their existing networks infrastructure but they also have to face the cost and complexity to integrate functions from different vendors while they need to achieve an economic model of virtualization. By integrating VMware SD-WAN as a virtual edge on Ekinops’ NFVi environment, Telcos get carrier grade quality of services on top of any combination of network underlay (LTE, MPLS, Broadband) and a robust and simple integration of those services on a branch form factor fully integrated into their back-office system (OSS/BSS).

In this webinar, you will learn how the Ekinops and VMware integration:

· Enables Telcos to simplify SD-WAN delivery
· Speeds up their time to market (TTM)
· Opens up a large market opportunity for deploying SD-WAN as a service
. Allows customers to reap the benefits of SD-WAN and virtualization

The perimeter has shifted. Your users directly access cloud applications from everywhere and data no longer reside only in data centers. Digital transformations like SD-WAN, IoT and cloud make securing your infrastructure, applications and data complicated. SD-WAN enabled branches directly connect to the Internet, but they don’t have the ability to replicate a full HQ security stack. IoT leads to an explosion of non-standard devices using non-standard protocols, making them harder to secure. Every new change doesn’t equal need for a new security tool.

What’s needed is a scalable, simple, and integrated security solution that leverages existing infrastructure that organizations already own. DNS is critical to the fabric of the internet and any IP based communication (on-premises, cloud, SD-WAN and IoT environments). It serves as the perfect foundation for security because it is simple to deploy, ubiquitous in networks, is needed anyway for connectivity and can scale to the size of the Internet.

Join Infoblox and (ISC)² on Oct 16, 2019 (Wed) at 14:00 (GMT +8) to learn how leveraging DNS as a foundational security architecture for digital transformations can:

• Protect your brand by securing your traditional networks and transformations like SD-WAN, Cloud and IoT
• Reduce time and cost of your enterprise threat defense
• Automate response when it sees things happening and provide data to the rest of the ecosystem

More and more companies are offering cyber insurance policies to help mitigate the financial losses an organization might suffer from a cyber incident. With the increase in breaches, intrusions and ransomware incidents, cyber insurance could be right for your organization as a part of the risk mitigation strategy. But there’s a lot of confusion for organizations in determining what a company’s exposure is and what exceptions and exclusions might be in a policy. Organizations are almost forced to think like an underwriter to address these concerns. Join ExtraHop and (ISC)2 October 10, 2019 at 1PM Eastern for a discussion on cyber insurance, demystifying the current insurance landscape and what are the right questions to answer.
