BYOD & IoT: The growing threat to network security

High-speed connectivity is critical for today’s economy. However, ordering wholesale broadband and transport services between Communications Service Providers (CSPs) remains a slow, complex, and outdated process. Despite legacy system investments, CSPs are still limited by their use of siloed tools which makes adopting new business models difficult. CSPs must transform to compete in today’s digital economy.

Traditionally, electrical efficiency dominated the minds of data centre design engineers. For economic, environmental and customer reasons this has moved to overall “Sustainability”. On one side of the coin data centres are significant energy consumers, on the other side they are directly and indirectly driving the sustainability agenda. In this event you can hear from data centre & industry experts on how the various companies and technologies are creating and adapting to a sustainable energy future.

Arista’s cloud-grade routing platforms were first introduced six years ago and redefined datacenter spine, DCI and edge networking. These platforms are based on the cloud principles of scale-out architectures, standards-based protocols, and software-driven controls. Powered by EOSⓇ Network Data Lake (NetDLTM), a single software base runs across all Arista platforms for both switching and routing use-cases delivering operational consistency, modern programmability and deployment flexibility. Many customers have already leveraged the 7280R3 and 7800R3 to accelerate their network transformation.

With a vision to expand its offices, increase the number of supported job sites, and migrate critical applications and data to the cloud via Azure and AWS, BGE needed to adopt a new network architecture able to support future growth and opportunities. Rather than continue investing in a costly and inflexible MPLS transport that didn’t support its need for cloud connectivity, BGE sought a modernized technology solution. In this webinar, learn how BGE implemented SD-WAN via its partner, Meriplex Communications, with business changing results.
