Simplify Operations with Automation-Driven Network Management

One of the new groups of services is based on the concept of network slicing. This concept is to enable the rapid (even on-demand) creation of logical/virtual networks based on one physical technical infrastructure. From the application's point of view, this is to enable resolution of existing network-building problems that were a compromise between different requirements on the part of the application. However, this technology comes with a price, which is a significant complication of network management.

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.

As hybrid workplaces become more normalized, organizations in every industry must adjust to the unique demands of a post-pandemic world. A major concern companies are navigating is keeping remote teams connected and secure while not disrupting day-to-day operations or compromising the customer experience.

Virtualizing next-generation access is about more than SD-WAN. It’s about enabling the next generation of virtualized network functions. While other vendors sell a single SD-WAN appliance, Dell EMC and ADVA have formally partnered to offer more than 50 commercial VNFs (Virtual Network Functions). These VNFs are hosted on Dell EMC’s innovative Virtual Edge Platform, which is a universal CPE
