Embracing the Future: Distributed Cloud Networking (ft. Dell'Oro analyst)

Join Neil Anderson (VP Cloud, Infrastructure, and AI Solutions at World Wide Technology) and Matt Krieg (VP of Sales and Marketing at Graphiant) as they discuss the definitions, myths, past, present and future of Network-as-a-Service (NaaS).

NaaS Explained

Multi-cloud networking is a cloud deployment model that links multiple public cloud services together as one holistic and actively orchestrated architecture. Now as networks become more dynamic, the current landscape is challenged with performance issues and scalability limitations.  

Let Paul Ho (SE Director), Barry Li (Sr. Solutions Architect), and Matt Krieg (VP of Sales and Marketing) walk you along the ideal scenario of how multi-cloud networking becomes less complex when delivered “as-a-Service.”

Into the Intercloud

Enterprise networks are becoming more and more expanded, elastic, and widely dispersed as a result of advances in cloud computing and IoT, which have caused a rapid increase in traffic. Deep network insights are required for the intelligent and effective control of traffic across these networks, and they must be supported by tools that can provide precise, real-time, granular traffic analysis. Graphiant, a leading provider of next-generation edge services, and ipoque have come together to address these challenges.

By integrating ipoque’s vector packet processing (VPP)-based DPI engine into the Graphiant Network Edge solution, the technology partnership enables a single point of traffic inspection that greatly improves network performance and security for the enterprise edge, delivering a highly scalable and flexible network ‘as-a-service’ solution for enterprise networks.

This webinar shares how the integration of cloud-optimized VPP DPI engine R&S®vPACE powers the Graphiant Network Edge in creating highly-optimized and responsive edge networks.

In this webinar, you will:
-Understand enterprise networks’ challenges and needs
-Discover how application visibility powered by DPI enhances network performance and security
-Find out the benefits of VPP-based DPI technology for cloud-based environments
-Learn how to combine application visibility and policy control at performance levels for the modern edge to build enterprise networks faster and more efficiently

The webinar includes a demo of ipoque’s VPP DPI engine R&S®vPACE and Graphiant’s Network Edge service solution.

2024 Video Predictions from Tech Industry Experts

Are you looking at building direct cloud connectivity (AWS DirectConnect or Azure Expressroute) and don't know where to start? Perhaps your company is consolidating data centers, but you still need high bandwidth connectivity to AWS, Azure, and/or GCP. Or perhaps, your company is transitioning a cloud hosted version of an ERP or EMR. Regardless of the business driver, you need distributed, high bandwidth, low latency, and secure connectivity to those cloud resources to act as a seamless extension of your network. 

In just 15min, let Barry Li (Sr. Solutions Architect), Paul Ho (SE Director) and Timo Prietto (Director of Client Engagement - West) show you how easy ordering, provisioning, and managing your cloud connectivity can be. No longer does building any-to-any connectivity to your branches, retail facilities, cloud resources, and business partners need to be a painful and manual task. See how easy and economical networking can be when using the Graphiant's Stateless Network Services.

About this talk:

Direct Internet Access (DIA) has become one of the most popular methods for businesses to connect to the internet.  Many businesses choose DIA because it offers better upload/download speeds and SLAs than broadband while costing less than traditional MPLS connections.  However, to maximize your DIA strategy there are things to consider that many businesses often miss.

In 15 min, let Barry Li (Sr. Solutions Architect), Paul Ho (Sr. Solutions Architect), and Timo Prietto (Regional Director of Sales) share with you concepts that will help you optimize your DIA strategy that you might have not considered.

About Graphiant: 
When enterprise networks included only data centers, office workers, and maybe a cloud connection,  provisioning the network was easy. IT owned, had visibility into, and controlled everything.

Today’s sprawling enterprise networks comprise hybrid cloud, remote workers, edge networks, and IoT devices. Traffic crosses a “digital wilderness” that IT doesn’t own, control nor has visibility into. This makes it impossible for IT to provision enterprise–grade networks with the agility today’s business requires.

MPLS and SD-WAN don’t work in this environment.  While MPLS offers enterprise–grade performance (SLA–level reliability,  security and privacy), it is expensive and cumbersome to provision.  SD-WAN isn’t robust and agility disappears when faced with the number of tunnels IT must build for today’s complex networks.

This is the problem Graphiant, led by Viptela co–founder Khalid Raza,  set out to solve. Their flagship service, the Graphiant Network Edge,  combines MPLS performance with Internet–class “as–a–Service” agility to enable IT to deliver enterprise–grade networks with agility.

Don't Over-Pay for DIA
