Typische Übergänge im Netzwerk liegen heute nicht mehr klar in der Verantwortung von Netzwerk Admins. Das kann man nur durch Abstraktion in den Griff bekommen. Der ideale Ansatz dafür: Intent Based Netzwerke (IBN). Doch was steckt dahinter?

* Ist bei Ihnen die Fehlersuche im Netzwerk auch umfangreich und zeitaufwendig?
* Die genaue Fehlerursache kann meist nicht lokalisiert werden, da viele unterschiedliche Systeme (Server, Storage, FW, Router, Apps, Switche) involviert sein können?
* Eine Root Cause Analyse identifiziert immer das Netzwerk als Fehler?
Wenn Sie auch nur eine dieser Fragen mit "Ja" beantworten, ist Ihr Netzwerkbetrieb wohl zu komplex und sollte aktualisiert werden. Dabei kann die Automatisierung Ihres DC Netzwerkes vom Design über Deployment und Betrieb in einer Lösung drastisch vereinfacht werden

Im Webinar erhalten Sie eine einzigartige Sicht auf die Beziehungen und Abhängigkeiten zwischen Millionen von Rechenzentrumselementen. Erfahren Sie anhand von Use Cases, wie Sie mit echter kontinuierlicher Validierung Probleme über alle Infrastruktursilos hinweg sofort erkennen und schnell beheben können, unabhängig von Hersteller oder Hardware.

Highlights der Agenda:
* Der letzte Architektur-Wechsel im DC Netzwerk
* Das neue Design Ihres Datacenters: In wenigen Stunden "ausrollbereit"
* Real-Time Validierung zwischen Soll- und Ist-Zustand, alles in einem System
* Schnellere Änderungen ermöglichen, mehr Visibilität für Ihr Netzwerk

Ist Ihr Netzwerkbetrieb zu komplex? Das muss nicht sein!
