THE MISSING LAYER: SDN ANALYTICS AND AUTOMATION FOR MULTI-SERVICE NETWORKS

February 21, 2018

Software Defined Networking (SDN) is revolutionizing data center networking by decoupling the control and data planes, and by enabling control plane programmability by applications. There has been tremendous innovation in data center networking applications, from virtual network overlays to security. The next step in the SDN evolution is to apply this architecture, particularly programmability, to the wide area network (WAN) and address management challenges facing operators.

Virtualized Networks and Real Risks: Best Practices for Securing Network Function Virtualization Environment

whitePaper | September 19, 2022

Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) is unleashing fundamental innovation in the way organizations buy, deploy, and operate network infrastructures. By leveraging open standards and commodity hardware, NFV delivers cost savings, enhanced flexibility, improved performance, and more. However, without the right safeguards, organizations can also see their vulnerabilities increase when they move to a Virtualized Network Functions (VNF) architecture. This white paper offers a detailed look at the unique security implications of adopting NFV approaches, and it provides a number of best practices to employ to ensure sensitive data and transmissions remain secure in these environments.

WI-FI 6E AND FUTURE-PROOFING WIRELESS INFRASTRUCTURE

whitePaper | May 23, 2023

The future of wireless networking needs will continue to grow. Location based services, sensors, and IoT devices will continue to be added to wireless networks. Expanding and new uses of Wi-Fi that require high performing connections like AR/VR, AI/ML, and new technologies we don’t even know about yet will compete for wireless network resources. Finally, all the standard uses we currently associate with Wi-Fi like video and voice calls, streaming services and cloud hosted applications will continue to bring more devices to wireless networks with increasing traffic demands.

Multi-Unit Stacking White paper

whitePaper | December 8, 2021

Switch stacking is a technology that connects multiple physical switches into a single logical switch. Network administrators can add or remove switches to increase or decrease port count without getting a multi-card chassis switch and dealing with the configuration of multiple switches. The network can evolve over a period with a pay as you grow model and therefore benefit from both the switch vendors and their customers.
