Evolution of automation in data center cooling

Data Center networking is at an inflection point, where software defined is taking over hardware defined. Vendor churn, speed upgrades to 100 Gbps, hyper-converged infrastructures, micro-segmentation, multi-cloud hosting sites, and Ethernet based storage systems, coupled with automation and continuous operations are driving customers to think and design their networks differently. This webinar will walk you through networks of the past, many of the common pitfalls of these networks, and how the rapidly evolving software defined data center networking market, where your switching hardware becomes an open platform for software innovations, drives business value.

Amazon Web Services has transformed how we think of IT infrastructure. It takes minutes to set up elastic compute and storage. As you grow, turning up EC2 instances, VPCs, and AWS services is akin to acquiring more ninja weapons; practice is needed to gain proficiency. With legions of compute and capacity a button-push away, the need to hone your skills in connecting your workforce to the cloud becomes critical. At Riverbed, that’s what we do. We let you spawn a full-mesh VPN network between your VPCs and branches, deploy the latest in cloud architecture trends using transit-VPC designs, and even allow for the use of AWS DirectConnect and VPN connectivity simultaneously using our powerful SD-WAN technology. Ninja-like benefits of agility, speed, and awareness are effortlessly available to you.

As broadcast systems evolve into adapting media over IP workflows, so must the mechanisms and techniques in distributing SMPTE 2110 essences throughout a network topology. Arista and Lawo have partnered together to develop a tight integration between Arista’s network orchestration solution, Media Control Service (MCS), and Lawo’s broadcast control system, VSM.

Operators deploying 5G networks increasingly find that flexibility and efficiency are needed to meet present needs while laying a foundation for future requirements that may include applications beyond mobile broadband in public 5G. With additional wireless spectrum in the next 14 months and even satellite broadband-like service, the future has no boundaries. This webinar will feature a review of current mobile network trends and a look at technology options and strategies including in-building/venue applications, private 5G and low-latency public 5G. These technology options will position mobile network operators, city/local government, and MSOs for success, from fronthaul through edge networking in midhaul to backhaul.
