A key goal of business is to grow successfully, but expansion creates new challenges. The companies thriving today are the ones that are able to prioritize key digital features like IoT and Edge Computing, but these require greater technical support and a more complex infrastructure. Existing legacy networks are not designed to support these new technologies and can crumble under the pressure. Organizations need to invest in their digital transformation if they want to stay competitive — and must choose their providers wisely. Partnering with the wrong third party can overcomplicate operations and leave the company bogged down in bureaucracy, instead of scaling up.

This doesn’t need to be the case. With the right support, companies can design, implement and maintain a complex yet scalable architecture that meets greater demands. Rather than just tacking on new applications, the right third-party partner will aid in consolidation; by streamlining and outsourcing in appropriate places, companies can redirect their resources where they’ll generate the most impact. When an organization can break down the complexities of the back-end and take advantage of automation, the real growth can begin.

In this final installment of NS1’s series, “Breaking Down the Barriers to Successful Digital Innovation,” our expert panel will identify the biggest threats of infrastructure complexity — and offer practical solutions for scaling. Tune in to hear more about:

— Why buying more processing power isn’t enough on its own
— The key components of a secure yet scalable infrastructure
— How to balance resiliency, performance and cost-efficiency
— When to expand and when to consolidate

The Complexity Challenge: How to Sustainably Scale Your Infrastructure

Organizations and consumers alike depend on technology like never before. Customers are looking for more than an exceptional experience; they’re looking for reliability and consistency from their service providers. Whether a business is using its software to serve an external end-user or to support internal operations, maintaining functionality is critical. Yet a recent study by the Uptime Institute found that a majority of organizations experienced a moderate or serious IT service outage in the last 3 years, caused by their provider.

Minimizing your outage risk and building network resilience should be a top priority for any organization looking to stay competitive in today’s market. In this latest installment in NS1’s series, “Breaking Down the Barriers to Successful Digital Innovation,” NS1 CEO Kris Beevers will be joined by industry experts to illuminate where the greatest service risks are coming from, as well as provide insight on how to engineer network resilience throughout your organization.

Join this panel discussion to hear more about:
Why enlisting more third-party services can increase risk of outage
How internal environments could be contributing to delays and downtime
The key components of building a stable, reliable and agile network
How the right software partner can replace outages with opportunities

From Outages to Opportunities: Engineering Network Resilience in Your Platform

Nobody is ever allowed to say it’s “just a DNS entry”, and for good reason. Today, It’s not “just DNS” - it’s the underpinning of the entire digital world. With outages becoming more frequent and damaging to your business’ bottom line, there’s never been a better time to look at how your DNS can be part of a larger business resilience strategy to mitigate the impact of future outages.

Join us on January 27 for a discussion that will cover the evolving role of DNS, from recent high profile outages, the DMV, Pokemon, and all the way back to myspace.com.

Attendees will learn:

-How the role of DNS has evolved in the context of our digital-first world
-Why outages have become more damaging, visible, and frequent - and how DNS factors into many of these outages
-Steps your team can take to build resilience into your DNS and larger IT infrastructure to minimize the impact of future outages on your users

It’s Always DNS Why Outages Are Growing More Common and What You Can Do About It

Today’s companies don’t need to be convinced on the importance of investing in technology. Instead, the challenge is understanding exactly where to direct those resources. Consumers aren’t looking for flashy end-use features, they’re looking for reliable solutions that can solve their needs at scale. Yet this cannot be achieved without the right foundation: One of the most common reasons that over 70% of digital transformation efforts fail is that companies are trying to build on legacy infrastructure. 
 
These systems simply cannot keep up with the volume of digital activity now taking place. In fact, even modern cloud networks may soon find themselves struggling to provide enough bandwidth, leaving IT teams stuck addressing maintenance issues. What companies need is a decentralized network that can support reliable, scalable application delivery. What they need is Distributed Edge Computing.
 
In this first installment of the NS1 series “Breaking down the Barriers to Successful Digital Innovation,” network experts from NS1, Nemertes and Ori Industries will discuss the potential impact of edge technology on your business. Tune in to discover:
 
The nuts and bolts of distributed edge and why it matters
What a true Edge Computing infrastructure looks like
How distributed edge can support distributed cloud, not replace it

The Cutting Edge: Why Edge Computing is the Future of Enterprise Infrastructure

To succeed in today’s digital first world, enterprises are accelerating adoption of new technology paradigms like cloud computing, microservices architectures, IOT/OT, new operating models like DevOps, NetOps, and new cloud-centric commercial models. 

However, legacy core network infrastructure - like DNS, DHCP, and IPAM - can’t keep up. They're unable to provide the flexibility for local compute and autonomy, with centralized control at the distributed edge, that modern network configurations require.

Join NS1 for a webinar on why enterprise network environments are evolving, the coming changes to plan for, and why your approach to your core network services needs to change to unlock the full value of digital transformation initiatives. 

Attendees can expect to learn: 

How enterprise network environments have evolved, and changes to prepare for

-Why traditional DDI solutions no longer cut it

-Why bringing core network services into the cloud improves network resilience

-How NS1’s Cloud-Managed DDI solution provides the scale, flexibility, security, and speed in your core infrastructure that today’s business environment requires

Building a Resilient, Distributed Enterprise with Cloud-Managed DDI

If you find it increasingly difficult to meet business objectives with your current network infrastructure, you’re not alone - nearly 80% of businesses today say that they can’t meet application delivery requirements with their current infrastructure. The pandemic has only accelerated this trend with remote work and increasing reliance on digital channels. 

In response, your organization is investing in digital transformation initiatives like adopting hybrid network environments, embracing the distributed edge, and so on. Yet without a single source of truth for your networking assets and devices, how can you effectively manage and provision this environment? 

Join NS1 for a discussion on why network resource management is now increasingly important to your digital transformation initiatives - and why creating a single source of truth for your network infrastructure is a key part of embracing the distributed edge.  

In this webinar, attendees can expect to learn: 

-How IRM and DCIM factor into creating a full-stack network single source of truth along with IPAM 
-How NetBox Cloud can be used to create a network single source of truth for distributed enterprises and help manage the distributed edge 
-How NetBox Cloud differs from open source NetBox, and why it accelerates digital transformation initiatives at distributed enterprise

Automation at the Distributed Edge Starts with a Single Source of Truth

Enterprise application delivery environments are increasingly complex, distributed, and targeted by a growing number of sophisticated cyber attacks. The Zero Trust model of security theoretically provides a better way to protect today’s network, yet it faces obstacles to adoption by enterprises, particularly with DevOps teams.
 
That’s because the speed at which DevOps teams are required to operate creates an environment where anything that slows them down is seen as a deterrent. And many of the networking tools in use today - such as DDI (DNS, DHCP, and IPAM) - are inflexible, built on legacy hardware, and generally perceived as a roadblock or afterthought by DevOps. 

However, without these tools, DevOps teams will not be able to ensure the network services they are using are secure, leaving the enterprise vulnerable to outages, downtime or data breaches. Organizations need to think of DDI not as a roadblock, but as a tool that can seamlessly integrate with security policies, ensure network services across the environment meet security requirements. Or in other words, enable true Zero Trust security architectures. 

In this webcast, NS1’s Field CTO Chris Buijs will discuss why having a rock solid DDI platform enables DevSecOps teams to successfully implement Zero Trust security, without slowing down deployment cycles. 

Join us to learn more about: 
- What the role is (or should be) of DDI in the a ZeroTrusted world 
- What DDI provides and how it enriches Zero Trust with critical network and end-user asset information
- How it provides programmatic access to network services and its data 
- How it can be used to steer network-transactions against policies before sensitive data is transferred

Who Should Attend: 
- DevOps, NetOps, SecOps
- SRE (Site Reliability Engineer), Network Engineer, IT architect, Security Engineer, Application Engineers 
- CTO, CIO, CISO’s or other leaders responsible for leading digital transformation at their company

The Conundrum of DDI and Zero Trust

Learn how & why optimizing your application delivery performance starts with leveraging application traffic intelligence and automation at the DNS layer. Learn how NS1 makes this possible with a modern, API-first approach.

How to Optimize Application Delivery Performance with DNS

Risk Based Security reported 3,813 security breaches in the first 6 months of 2019, exposing over 4.1 billion records. It represented a 54% increase over the previous year. As networks grow more complex and users increase daily, security risks will happen more frequently leaving enterprises no choice but to embrace zero trust security. And they needed to adopt it, yesterday. 

Organizations adopting zero trust principles must extend the framework to all parts of their infrastructure for it to be truly effective. In this webinar, attendees will learn about how modern application and access networking solutions play a key role in enabling zero trust architectures.

Enabling Zero Trust Infrastructures

Scenario: Interior, a war room, unfathomable graphs on the wall blinking.

A twitter timeline is shown. Tweets start flying by complaining of buffering. A woman looks up from her laptop, underlighting her face. A red phone rings; the CEO just experienced rebuffering.

Woman: "Mother of god".

A look of panic shoots across her face. She opens the Mux dashboard.

Woman: "Oh, it's just Akafrontly playing up again. Easy fix. Good thing the Mux Dashboard helps me see real time QoE data, and lets me drill down into what’s causing the problem".

She types furiously for a few seconds and the problem resolves.

Friends and colleagues cheer. The woman is promoted, and the stock price doubles. Her husband cooks her favorite dinner that night and her children do their homework without complaining.
