B2B 5G Network Slicing: Unlocking the Digital Transformation

One of the most important factors in reducing downtime and the number of incidents caused by human error in a data center is to create tightly aligned and well-run teams that work with discipline and a consistent culture of teamwork and improvement. Creating a culture of operational efficiency is harder than it sounds and impacts all facets of any mission critical facility. This webinar will look at the 10 most important steps to take to build, support and put strong teams into action, including the ever-important hand-off to operations after construction of a data center and the role Tier Certification can play in the strategic execution of taking a new data center live.

Depending on the organization, as much as 95 percent of network changes are still performed manually by enterprise IT. At the same time, IT is also responsible for digitizing their business, so IT groups have become increasingly constrained by this manual burden. Additionally, enterprise networks are often made up of devices from dozens of vendors which have been deployed over many years creating what’s often called “technical debt” – complicating matters even more.

Watch F5 senior leaders and Heavy Reading Research Director Jim Hodges discuss the evolution to cloud-native network functions (CNFs) during this on-demand webinar.CNFs address multiple pain points to reduce CapEX and OpEX costs and unify cloud infrastructure to support both Telco and IT workloads. The webinar highlights two key use cases for Gi LAN consolidation for VNFs and CNFs, and 5G Core Kubernetes security.

Demand for edge data centers is expected to grow across the world in the short-term, particularly for shared data centers and especially in North America. Uptime Institute research shows a continued usage of redundant power and cooling systems, while at the same time showing an interest in distributed resiliency involving multiple edge data centers.
