Data Center Networking Strategy Workshop

2 hours
How do you automate, analyze, and secure your data center network in a world where applications are provisioned in real-time regardless of where they reside?

During this Data Center Networking Strategy Workshop our experts will assist you in developing an architectural strategy for an agile data center, regardless of where applications reside. Also taken into account are modern application integrations, the future of data center networking and ever-increasing security demands. We'll help you establish a data center networking strategy that meets your current and future business needs.

What to Expect

You will engage with experienced subject matter experts, along with solution architects that serve as advisors to a broad set of manufacturers, to uncover disruptors that impact the data center network, options for agile data center networking capabilities, how these disruptors relate to your current state and effective ways to evolve your data center network to address business objectives. The agenda includes:

  • Disruptors that affect the data center network
  • Application architectures & hybrid clouds
  • Software-defined networking (SDN), automation and analytics
  • Customer successes and use cases
  • Recommended next steps

Goals & Objectives

The workshop provides consultation on what we see as the future of data center network architecture, focusing on:

  • Overview of Disruptors: How they are affecting the data network architecture.
  • Application Architecture: With a move to containers and microservices, we will discuss how this impacts the data center network architecture regardless of where the applications reside.
  • Hybrid Cloud Networking: As organizations adopt private cloud, public cloud and SaaS applications, it is critical to have a strategy. An organization must understand which application should remain on-premises and the impact of moving an application to the public cloud.
  • Software-Defined Networking: Software-defined networking in the data center allows multiple data centers to be managed from a single-pane-of-glass, providing consistent policy independent of the underlying physical hardware. It simplifies implementation, day-to-day operations and troubleshooting while also providing security advantages.
  • Automation and Analytics: Automation is transforming the way networks are built and operated, providing unprecedented visibility and automated remediation.

What is a workshop?
A workshop is typically a paid engagement, with predefined objectives, that results in the creation of strategic project deliverables: action plan, high-level architectural design, proposal or quote for project implementation. Workshops may be delivered remotely or onsite.

Who should attend?
IT Executive Leadership

Benefits

The outcome of this workshop is a clear understanding of the data center networking architecture strategies that provide automation, integration with hybrid/public cloud, increased security and business continuity. You'll leave with an understanding of the best practices and the next steps required to modernize your data center.
