Developers have shifted focus on making applications more portable and 92% of enterprises have a multi-cloud strategy. Infrastructure-as-Code backed by sound DevOps principles is the de facto method for delivering this infrastructure and demand has increased for speed, scale, and simplicity on the network across clouds. In this joint webinar hosted by Alkira and HashiCorp, we will examine why automation is imperative for transforming businesses and how organizations are using these dynamic platforms together to create a competitive advantage in the market.

In this session, you will learn:
- What is infrastructure-as-code and why Terraform
- How the Terraform Provider integration works with Alkira
- Highlighting the shifting demands for cloud networking
- How to minimize touch-points and human error with simplicity
- Creating a reliable network foundation that enables the business

Building networks for the cloud era using traditional methods is a daunting task. The lack of a uniform approach forces organizations to rely on a set of disjoint solutions for on-premises, cloud, and multi-cloud connectivity. Such solutions oftentimes carry a burden of costly hardware investments, coupled with complex software configurations and a need for acquiring deep cloud and networking expertise. All of this is resulting in slow service provisioning.

Simply put, the traditional network is not sufficiently agile for the cloud.

Enter Alkira Network Cloud, powered by the Alkira Cloud Services Exchange.
In this demonstration, you can see how organizations can achieve unprecedented agility in building a secure and segmented network for the Google cloud, multi-cloud and on-premises environments with elements of integrated auto-scaling firewalls and regional internet exist points for optimal SaaS applications access.

Network segmentation is imperative for zero-trust networking (resource compartmentalization and reduced security attack surface), line of business isolation (M&As and divestitures), extranet connectivity (business partners), and industry compliance. In this Alkira Design Zone episode, you will learn how to perform network segmentation for your cloud network using Alkira Cloud Services Exchange solution.

Many enterprises operate an eco-system of partners that require access to a common set of application resources. Oftentimes traditionally partner connectivity was established to the on-premises data centers or colocation facilities leveraging technologies such as IPSec VPN over the Internet. The proliferation of this point-to-point connectivity method created an infrastructure resource strain and resulted in limited scalability.

To control access to the shared application services and prevent partner-to-partner communication, enterprises deployed and inserted next-generation firewalls along with traffic segmentation. Mapping of IPSec VPN tunnels into the network segments and steering application traffic towards the firewalls created a highly complicated security environment.

Finally, as enterprise applications requiring partner access moved from on-premises data centers and colocation facilities into a single or multiple public cloud environments, centralized partner access resulted in a significant traffic backhaul and subsequently sub-optimal application experience.

Watch this demonstration to see how leveraging Alkira Cloud Services Exchange solution allows establishing distributed network access at two different geographic locations for an optimal application experience. We will also demonstrate how leveraging end-to-end segmentation with cross-segment routing and intelligent firewall service insertion allows to segregate suppliers and warehouses while allowing secure access to the shared inventory system. Lastly, we will show leveraging network address translation or NAT to mitigate IP address overlap for proper routing.

Effectively automating infrastructure today is no longer a luxury but a staple in the enterprise move through future transformation. The place where applications, data, and systems intersect is the network, and the future network must be delivered consistently, reliably, and at scale. Innovation in the public cloud heralds a whole new approach for delivering immutable networking at scale, and modern network solutions make it possible to harness these approaches across your entire network.

This discussion will explore the following areas:

• Causal explanation of why network design today makes automation across core, edge, and cloud challenging
• Identify the specific attributes in the public cloud that enabled agility for compute and application delivery and explore applying them to the whole domain of networking
• Examine the benefits of leveraging Continuous Integration + Continuous Delivery (CI/CD) as a vehicle for building and managing fully immutable network infrastructure

Join Corey Quinn, Chief Cloud Economist at Duckbill Group to chat about how networking has changed over the years. The public cloud will continue to be the epicenter of innovation across industries and for companies of all sizes. Enterprises' migration to the cloud has been driven largely by the imperative for enhanced agility and improved operational velocity. Unlocking the value of cloud more than ever traverses industries and is vertical as well horizontal in its application. This transformation has reshaped entire industries by lowering and shifting the barrier to entry. Enterprises need a solution for their cloud networking and security needs that unlocks the true cloud potential.

Screaming in the Cloud Podcast: Network Agility for the Cloud Era

The cloud era has arrived. Organizations are increasingly transitioning business-critical applications from on-premises data centers to the public cloud and SaaS environments. At the same time, the lift-and-shift approach for networking and security replicates existing data center complexity in the cloud and fails to deliver on the promise of cloud agility. A new approach is needed to make sure that networking and security operate in full concert with the cloud.

Enterprises' migration to the cloud has been largely driven by the imperative for enhanced agility and improved operational velocity.  The public cloud will continue to be the epicenter of innovation across industries and for companies of all sizes.  Unfortunately, the network is not sufficiently agile for the cloud. Networking today often delays, limits, or derails digital initiatives. In order to support maximum agility, there needs to be a radical simplification of how networks are designed and managed. This is why we built the Network Cloud.

Network Agility for the Cloud Era

SD-WAN, Cloud & As-a-Service Advantages for Transforming Enterprise Networking

As applications transition from on-premises data centers to public cloud and SaaS environments, traditional do-it-yourself network and security architectures fall short of delivering flexible, scalable, and cost-effective solutions for the modern enterprise needs. Enterprises often grapple with slow and locked-in managed service provider offerings, complex and costly colocation facilities, or feature-limited cloud onramps. Insufficient in-house cloud networking expertise and the lack of uniform network and security architecture across, on-premise, hybrid cloud, and multi-cloud environments inhibit cloud adoption and delay business initiatives. 

Join and AWS and Alkira for this interactive cloud networking workshop:
- Learn how to simplify and improve your digital transformation roadmap
- Receive real-time cloud consulting advice on how to simplify your network and security strategy
- Learn the struggles other enterprises are facing while adopting cloud
- Gain deep cloud infrastructure and applications insights for operational excellence
