We are bringing back some of our favorite episodes! Tune into this TEC37 rerun to hear our experts dive into routing and optical technologies. Over the past 10 years there have been tremendous advancements in the space. We have gone from large, power hungry 40G and 100G line card-based modules, to today's extremely power efficient, 400G-ZR+ pluggable optics. By pairing 400G-ZR+ optics with high density, low power routing platforms, we wonder: have the optical and routing stars finally aligned?

This is a follow up from a previous TEC37 where we discussed the theory of collapsing the optical network into the routed network. Now commonly known as Routed Optical Networks (RON), fueled by Cisco, this architecture is being promoted heavily in the industry and is picking up steam. Join our expert panel as they discuss the current state of the technology, and what WWT is doing to be at the forefront of its evolution and adoption.

Segment Routing (SR) is a prevalent technology in mid-size to large organizations and emerging as a viable solution for others. It provides operational simplicity, reduced downtime with Fast Reroute support, and the ultimate network flexibility with Segment Routing Traffic Engineering (SR-TE). Paired with a Bandwidth Broker like Cisco Crosswork Network Controller (CNC), you can deliver end-to-end services over several different SLAs (High Bandwidth, Low-Latency, or Constrained Paths) and provide dynamic real-time path redirection for congested networks. Explore the Advanced Technology Center (ATC) to see which tools and resources are available to help you.

In this F5 | WWT DISA & Mission Partner Tech Session we will focus on three different DoD use cases – Data Center/Enclave Consolidation, Modernizing App Deployments with NGINX and Shape Security.

HashiCorp Terraform is an infrastructure as code utility used to define and provision IT infrastructure in a human readable language. Terraform enables IT team across organizational silos to automate the building, changing, and versioning of IT infrastructure to support custom solutions and business use cases predictably and easily. Join this hands-on workshop to take the first steps in learning how HashiCorp Terraform can be utilized to provision and manage F5 load balancing and security infrastructure.
