Interview with Doug Case of Mode at ITEXPO 2019

The current Internet is largely a heterogeneous network in the sense that it is a network that is formed by many different networks owned by different identities. Its ability to work with vastly different technologies under very different circumstances in parallel certainly has brought crucial flexibility and incentives for its growth. On the other hand, its heterogeneity has also led to rigid and coarse management which makes Internet performance insufficient to support the fast growing traffic with increasingly stricter quality of service requirements. Today, with the rise of cloud computing and software-defined networking, it is now possible to move towards autonomous fine-grained network management. In this talk, we briefly examine opportunities that come from three different aspects: space (finer traffic split), time (faster network load balancing) and application (route different applications differently). We study both the idealized fine-grained network management, which sets a limit for the best possible outcome, and algorithms that take into account important practical factors to approach that limit. The talk ends with some examples of virtual network functions (VNFs) that can be built under fine-grained network management to further improve network performance.

Today, deploying SD-WAN poses many challenges, most of them related to the Internet-connected core (backbone) network. Mode Core gives Enterprises complete control and visibility from the moment your data packets leave the edge devices and enter the core.  That means Mode + Your SD-WAN gives you affordable end-to-end control of your SLA-backed, Private Performance WAN. But how easy it it for SD-WAN vendors to integrate with the Mode solution? In this webinar, we will show you how easy it is to Mode & GO!

1. Learn how easy it is for SD-WAN vendors to integrate their solutions with Mode Core
2. Explore how to give your SD-WAN customers a better end-to-end solution: Private Performance, end-to-end security, and cloud ease, agility and scale
3. Learn how affordable Private Performance for your SD-WAN can be. Spoiler Alert: it’s the cost of business Internet!

Latency variation, jitter, and packet loss collectively degrade network performance. The vast majority of these problems exist for under a single second, yet cause the majority of perceived network deficiencies. In this webinar we will a. Discuss the progression of network problem mitigation, from telco to webscale to Mode b. Discuss the fundamental differences between AI-based and autonomous control with respect to speed of problem mitigation c. Discuss how Mode is the first network capable of problem mitigation in the millisecond realm, and how this translates into affordable private performance for SD-WAN

Businesses with SD-WAN often rely on the public Internet for connectivity. When these companies experience Internet unpredictability – glitching real-time applications (e.g. video and voice), inconsistent long-haul traffic, poor SaaS and IaaS performance, or compromised security and compliance – they turn to a growing number of Internet Core alternatives. How do they make the right choice?

In this webinar we will:

1. Compare different Internet alternatives for SD-WAN: optimized Internet, MPLS, Cloud MPLS, and SD-CORE
2. Discuss the advantages of Autonomous Network Control over AI-based Network Control
3. Quantify the performance advantages of Mode Core over public Internet for branch, data center, and cloud connectivity; and cloud-to-cloud connectivity

A failsafe SD-WAN is an SD-WAN that delivers both MPLS-class high availability and high QoE predictable application performance for both TCP-based apps and real-time apps like VoIP and video conferencing. In this presentation, we will discuss Talari’s approach to fail-safe SD-WAN levering the Mode Core Private Global Network to deliver high-availability, high-performance, high-security, cost-effective cloud/SaaS, DC, and branch access.

In this episode of Mode Radio, Meraki MX’s Product Manager Rahul Ramakrishnan speaks with Jo McDougald about how Cisco Meraki’s products and services harness SD-WAN to add cost savings and generally make life easier for people throughout the organization.

In this episode of Mode Radio, Cisco Meraki product marketing manager David van Schravendijk speaks with Jo McDougald about how Meraki is making infrastructure management easier for companies by moving key infrastructure components to the cloud. Jo and David also discuss the tremendous and growing importance of security in today’s IT environment.

SD-WAN brings a tremendous amount of software-defined control to the network edge. In this video, Mode’s creative director Adam Gervin discusses how Mode extends that control through the core of the network to enable private global networks that can be spun up in under 60 seconds.

Paul Dawes, CEO Mode (www.mode.net) joins the Equinix Edge IT event at Mobile World Congress 2019 to discuss how Ericsson, Equinix, and Mode work together to deliver reliable WAN for Enterprise – from SaaS and IaaS performance, to hassle-free video and voice communications, to reliable branch-to-branch and cost-effective MPLS backup. It starts with your existing SD-WAN, which gives you control over the edge of the network. Mode extends this control to the core of a global network built in partnership with Ericsson and Equinix, enhancing your SD-WAN with affordable end-to-end MPLS performance, compliance-friendly Enterprise security, and cloud service flexibility. The combination of Mode Core and any SD-WAN delivers the first No-Worry Network for Enterprise. Finally, it’s time to stress less and do more.

SD-WAN brings a tremendous amount of software-defined control to the network edge. In this video, Mode’s creative director Adam Gervin discusses how Mode extends that control through the core of the network to enable private global networks that can be spun up in under 60 seconds.

Traditionally, WANs are complicated and take a long time to set up. Paul Dawes says that with Mode, companies can spin up global networks in 60 seconds.

Ericsson Edge Gravity is optimizing last mile network delivery. In this video, Marcus Bergström outlines how his firm is doing it, and how the “gravity” of data is pulling applications and services to the edge.

In this video, Marcus Bergström outlines how his firm is doing it and how the reliability and predictability of Mode’s global private networks are a key piece of the puzzle.

Tim Crawford hosts the podcast CIO in the know. In this episode, Mode’s Jo McDougald speaks with Tim about what’s shaping life for CIOs right now, including the host of technologies available today and their effects on business, and how even the way we think about data itself and data transmission over the network has changed.

Mark Settle is CIO at OKTA, a firm that helps companies handle both workforce and customer identity. In this episode, Mode’s Jo McDougald speaks with Mark about the importance of identity and security, particularly in healthcare and financial services, and the role the internet’s infrastructure plays in those issues.

SD WAN has now gone mainstream and over sixty solutions available now claim to have SD WAN functionality built in. At the same time, SD WAN is still a new technology, and organizations will need help building the right kind of SD WAN solution. In this episode Mode’s Jo McDougald speaks with Jason Gintert of WAN Dynamics about how the firms’ technologies and services are working together to offer fast and reliable global SD WAN.

There’s no doubt SD WAN is cool, but Talari Networks claims to have been doing SD WAN since before it was cool. In this episode Mode’s Doug Case and Jo McDougald speaks with Talari Co-founder and CMO Andrew Gottlieb about his firm’s history with the technology, including its origination of “fail-safe” SD WAN technology, which even in today’s exploding market remains a rarity.
