Service Assurance in the Era of NFV/SDN

In the previous “Bandwidth Management Reinvented” webinar, we looked at how bandwidth management must evolve to meet the needs of future. In this follow-up technical deep-dive session, we have selected you some customer cases to illustrate how to apply state-of-the-art bandwidth monitoring techniques and features on specific use cases to solve some of the most demanding bandwidth management challenges in today’s and future networks.

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.

SD-WAN is transforming the way businesses build their networks. Employees in a work-from-home situation are demanding more accessibility with greater speeds, and networks need to meet those demands while retaining strict security. Network administrators have increasingly turned from VPN systems to SD-WAN in order to keep up with these new requirements.

Enterprises have long relied on private networks for secure, high-performing, and highly available access to applications residing within their private data centers. However, the rising use of videos, guest networks, IoT data, and the need to setup and tear-down branches at much faster pace have changed the demand profile for corporate networking solutions.
