Networking Software Demo Series: Cisco SD-WAN Visibility and Security with SASE

Private networks are already a reality for a host of companies. As spectrum access becomes easier, LTE based private networks are looking to displace existing networks based on Wi-Fi or proprietary standards, solving a range of cost and quality issues. Private networks are typically deployed in business critical or mission critical scenarios. They may be improving industrial process control, increasing teamwork and customer service on theme parks, speeding up response times in emergency situations and many other applications. LTE offers the potential to dramatically increase the quality, ease the deployment and lower the total cost of private networks.

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.

Manufacturers and transportation companies are facing increasing pressure to ensure safe and timely delivery of temperature sensitive items including medicine, fresh food, and chemicals.

Intent-based networking (IBN) is the catch-all term for the gradual shift from today’s manual network operations to a more hands-off automated ecosystem. Using AI, sensor-driven data flows, virtual abstraction and a host of other technologies, the idea is simply to define what you hope to achieve, then let the data environment itself configure the network in the most optimal way to suit those needs.
