Engaging Retail Experiences Demand an Agile Infrastructure

In higher education, the wireless network is the core backbone of campus connectivity. 

Wireless networks are still magic for the end user - more so because they "just work" at home. But with such high expectations, whenever something goes wrong, the first thing that gets blamed is the WiFi. Even within the IT department, the wireless network is often blindly blamed for the root cause of application issues or poor performance of SaaS services. While WiFi can be the root cause, it is often a combination of issues. 
 
In this webinar, you'll learn how VMware Edge Network Intelligence (formerly Nyansa Voyance) can help stop the blame game and quickly identify the root cause of the issues on your campus network. Leveraging a powerful AI engine, ENI learns what's normal for your network and quickly identifies what's wrong. These baselines can show whether a WiFi software update or vendor change will make things better or worse. Or clearly correlate application performance against WiFi performance to identify where the performance issues really exist. 
 
Join us for an in-depth look at how ENI can help you see into your network and find out what's really going on, to help you stop the WiFi blame.

Stop the Campus Wifi Blame with VMware Edge Network Intelligence

As enterprises adopt SaaS and Internet applications, today’s anywhere workforce is exposed to a changing threat landscape. IT needs visibility into sanctioned and unsanctioned applications, exercising control and compliance while protecting users and infrastructure. VMware Cloud Web Security is a cloud hosted service of VMware SASE that ensures users can access their applications without the fear of threats or concern about compliance – and IT can keep the agile workforce productive.

Catalyst for Cloud Migration

VMware SD-WAN has achieved FIPS 140-2 Certification, a benchmark requirement to meet security compliance for non-military government deployments. As cyber attacks and threats continue to grow rapidly, it is imperative that ever-larger amounts of digital data, at rest and in motion, are secured. FIPS 140-2 certification ensures security of cryptographic modules such as hardware and software encryption, authentication, digital signatures, and key management.

Join us to learn how VMware SD-WAN continues to evolve to support critical security capabilities. VMware SD-WAN meets rigorous industry standards, ensuring Federal customers can confidently protect their information, operations, and assets against threats.

Extended SD-WAN Security for Federal Customers

Enterprises and IT leaders are transforming wide area networks to enable migration to the cloud and secure anytime, anywhere access to critical applications.

IT leaders must now factor in how to architect their networks to support a new corporate environment, based on a distributed hybrid workforce split between home, remote locations and the office, with flexible work policies and work from anywhere requirements.
  
This webinar will address how enterprise networks can prepare for these trends:

•	How will bandwidth needs for remote workers and offices be impacted by a hybrid workforce model?
•	What policies would need to be adjusted to optimize a hybrid workforce model such as prioritizing traffic for video and other collaboration applications?
•	How can IT administrators adapt policies to application requirements and adjust networking requirements at a site level, while maintaining corporate security policies?
•	What are the most effective security approaches to protect against breaches with a more distributed workforce?

The Evolution to a Secure, Software Centric Network

Organizations are embracing the new reality of a distributed enterprise that extends from branch or campus to the home office. However, many remote employees rely on best-effort broadband connectivity to access applications, and productivity suffers when users can’t reach their applications. The underlying network issues can not only impair user experience but can also slow enterprises’ transformation to cloud apps.

Join this webinar to learn how Google Cloud VMware Engine helps customers migrate VMware workloads to Google Cloud and how VMware SD-WAN optimizes users connectivity to these workloads from anywhere.

Migrate workloads and get to Google Cloud faster with SD-WAN and GCVE

Business requirements are evolving to deliver any-user, any-device connectivity to any cloud, and any-application. This demands a digital transformation that is spanning distributed edge, data center, and cloud, and is enabled by a new digital foundation. The legacy WAN and security architecture in the middle of this transformation is obsolete and must undergo a drastic change to be part of the new digital foundation. Customers are rapidly adopting a new SASE architecture model predicted by Gartner.

As a leader in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for WAN Edge Infrastructure in 2018 and 2019, VMware is positioned to enable organizations to transform their WAN edge, to build a new digital foundation for new application adoption, and to enable your work-from-anywhere initiatives.

Join this session to learn how VMware’s network transformation vision, along with its unique cloud gateways and SASE PoPs, delivers a SASE platform with intrinsic security, including ZTNA, for organizations embracing cloud and SaaS.

SASE in a Work from Anywhere World: Why You Should Care

What happens when you suddenly have to support 80% of your users working from home? With many enterprise employees working remotely, companies need to quickly deploy a work from anywhere solution to provide people the same user and application experience as if they were in the office.

Join this session to get an in-depth understanding of how VMware SD-WAN™ can help deploy a large number of VMware SD-WAN Edges quickly and efficiently into home environments. Our Technical Product Manager will discuss features that enable this quick rollout, including:

• Zero-touch provisioning
• Prioritizing business-critical traffic over home traffic
• Default business policies and custom application definition
• Dynamic Multipath Optimization™
• Securing the network and locking down corporate resources

Large-scale SD-WAN deployment: How do you roll out 9000 edges in 9 days?

Enterprise IT needs to protect the network, devices, and data against threats while users are accessing SaaS and Internet applications without compromising their productivity. VMware Cloud Web Security, delivered as a cloud hosted service from the VMware SASE Platform, ensures threat protection while offering visibility, control and compliance. Using a single management pane for networking and security services, VMware Cloud Web Security performs policy enforcement on the optimal path between users and their applications. In this session you will hear from industry analyst Zeus Kerravala, ZK Research about the changing landscape and trends for security in a work from anywhere world, and from Craig Connors, CTO, Service Provider & Edge, VMware, about VMware’s unique approach to SASE allowing enterprises to address emerging needs at the new distributed edge.

Managing the Converged Edge (SD-WAN and SASE)

Traditional WAN architectures were designed to deliver reliable access and moderate bandwidth to applications hosted in enterprise data centers. However, applications, compute and storage are increasingly shifting to public or hybrid cloud environments. Cloud-Delivered SD-WAN(TM) exceeds the needs of this shifting environment by meeting cloud applications and services in the cloud with lower cost than traditional WANs while maintaining or improving reliability and performance.
 
Join us as experts in the design, implementation and management of both traditional and Cloud-Delivered WANs share a unique perspective on the past, present and future of enterprise networks. Industry veterans will walk you through the first steps in implementing Cloud-Delivered SD-WAN to achieve immediate benefits in today’s cloud-first application world.
