Exploring Software-Defined Networking with Brocade

Software-Defined Networking is a concept that proposes to disaggregate the traditional vertically integrated networking stack in order to improve network flexibility and manageability. SDN enables “mass customization” of network operations to better support differentiated services. SDN is part of a group of technologies that open the data, control, and management planes of the network to participate more easily in broader orchestration frameworks through Application Programming Interfaces (APIs). These APIs also facilitate the development of a rich new set of network applications and services from a wider range of sources, including independent developers, Value-Added Resellers (VARs), and user organizations themselves.

Securing the Future of Connected Work

whitePaper | July 12, 2021

Today’s hybrid workforce of both remote and in-office employees is the new normal as the world adapts to the COVID-19 pandemic. IT security teams are struggling to support this new global digital workforce that needs reliable, secure, and fast access to the Internet. Cyber attackers are also taking advantage of this new normal, so how do organizations prevent growing threats from web and email vectors? Traditional security strategies of routing Internet traffic through a VPN increase latency, slow performance, and disrupt the user experience. The solution that avoids these problems is to bypass the VPN by using cloud-delivered isolation, enabling organizations to provide their global workforce with completely secure access to the Internet. Menlo’s new ebook, Securing the Future of Work, discusses how organizations can deliver consistent security services to this new digital workforce through isolation in the cloud.
