How to prepare for a network hardware upgrade using automation This webinar examines how NetBrain’s Network Automation can prepare you for a successful refresh of your hardware – and smoother operations afterward. So it’s almost the end of the year and a lot of organizations are currently involved in or preparing for a hardware upgrade. This is a fairly common use of end-of-year budget. Networked devices may need to be swapped out for a variety of reasons. For example, an upgrade may be needed to support new deployments with technologies such as VoiP, SDN, FabricPath, QoS and so on. Other common reasons include having to replace devices that have been designated end-of-life by the vendor, business best practices and place limits on hardware change and age, the capacity needs of new applications may require more port density on devices, or new business continuity requirements may come into play based on more stringent security frameworks. All of these reasons and more may be driving the need for a network refresh.

Cloud-native 5G infrastructure technologies provide the flexibility, agility, and resilience that CSPs need to compete in the new digital economy. With a full suite of telco cloud infrastructure solutions and operating models, Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) is enabling CSPs to accelerate deployments while also reducing risk and complexity.

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wholesale broadband and transport services between Communications Service Providers (CSPs) remains a slow, complex, and outdated process.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.

The costs and impact of data center outages continues to grow as our reliance on digital infrastructure increases. And in today’s data center market, change abounds with various data center types supporting global IT infrastructure. How do you know if your data center is reliable for the demand of 24 x7 operations? Matt Stansberry and Scott Good will provide key attributes related to Uptime Institute’s Data Center Risk Assessment program and what you can do to mitigate risks.
