Network Monitoring for the Next-Gen Data Center

Digital transformation is pushing for consolidated, denser and more intelligent data centers. At the same time, explosive growth of data driven by mobility, smart devices, IoT, 5G and digital services is driving trends like edge computing and micro-data centers. These data centers are more compute and data intensive with far more network traffic and higher need for embedded instrumentation for monitoring. The next-gen data centers employ new architectures and design techniques that make monitoring tricky as traditional tools and techniques go obsolete. Attend this session to learn: • What the next-gen data center architecture looks like from edge to the core • How the combination of high-performance fabrics with overlay SDx technologies and intelligent controls influences the network traffic patterns and processing • How to monitor the above network architectures effectively to turn network data into actionable information
