Organizations depend on their campuses and branches not only as operational hubs but as vital touchpoints for employees and customers. A poor experience at these locations can erode brand trust, while a seamless, technology-driven experience enhances productivity, satisfaction, and loyalty. With the campus and branch increasingly reliant on robust networks, the stakes for getting it right have never been higher

Software-defined WAN offers organizations flexible connectivity, facilitates cloud strategies and improves application performance, all in a secure environment. It also can improve operational efficiencies and help control or reduce WAN costs. Approaches to SD-WAN implementation and supported capabilities vary from one OEM to another. This briefing will explore four of the top SD-WAN vendors and highlight the innovative features that set each of their solutions apart, including a live demonstration of our on-demand SD-WAN lab environments and explanation of how to access them.

The Data Center Network (DCN) is essential for supporting high-performance workloads, including Artificial Intelligence (AI). This briefing will explore next-generation data center architectures, highlighting the advantages of using an underlay/overlay topology and controller-based management. As DCN architectures become more complex, day-two operations software becomes increasingly necessary. This session will provide an overview of DCN hardware, architectures, and day-two operations, along with a brief introduction to the most commonly seen DCN OEMs in enterprise data centers.

Get an overview and exploration of modern Access Networks and Campus Fabrics. Learn what the major OEMS in this space are offering and how these new technologies, capabilities and features could help enable your organization.

The primary storage landscape has changed drastically over the last three years. The mass adoption of flash storage, the movement of workloads to the cloud and the emergence of new fabric technologies with NVMe are all trends that are reshaping how we go about selecting primary storage in the data center.

SD-Branch is an umbrella label applied to the growing interest in a cloud-managed single vendor stack for the branch. The solution is comprised of SD-WAN, SD-LAN all wrapped in security and often delivered with elements of SASE and SSE. In this briefing we will talk through the strengths and challenges of the top OEM's in this space covering: Cisco-Meraki, Aruba, Juniper/MIst, Nile and Fortinet.
