On the 28th of May we will dive into the complexity of networks. Can you handle your network now hybrid-, multi cloud environments and environments such as IBM Cloud or even Salesforce come into play?
These days companies no longer rely on on-premise data centers to run their applications and workloads. Hybrid- and (multi)cloud environments such as AWS, Azure and Google Cloud are more common. On top of that, organizations are adding new environments including IBM Cloud or Salesforce to the mix. We call this the ‘scale out-era’.
Can you handle these changes with your existing network? Isn’t this ‘scale-out’ or step to (multi)cloud environments far too complex? How can you reduce this complexity and achieve ‘simplicity’ in order to better adapt to these diverse cloud environments? And how can you prevent the network becoming a bottleneck for your organization?
How to make the network part of your cloud strategy?
During this meet-up we will introduce a 5-step plan to achieve this ‘simplicity’ and cover subjects such as:
- Cloud creates other traffic flows, how does this affect your network topology?
- Redundancy and cloud: what do you have to take into account?
- Advantages and disadvantages of Direct Connect and Express Route connections.
- How to achieve an open and transparent underlay?
- Insight as well as end-to-end management by automation and orchestration.
- Security in all layers (incl. public cloud environments).
- The added value of SD-WAN.
