Cisco forges tighter SD-WAN links to Microsoft Azure cloud, Office 365
A broadened Cisco-Microsoft partnership promises extending Cisco SD-WAN to the Azure cloud and optimizing and securing connectivity to Office 365.
The software-defined data center drives agility
The value of SDN is doing as much as possible in the software so you don’t depend on the delivery of new features to come from a new generation of the hardware.
What is SD-WAN, and what does it mean for networking, security, cloud?
Software-defined wide area networks, a software approach managing wide-area networks, offers ease of deployment, central manageability and reduced costs, and can improve connectivity to branch offices and the cloud.
Most enterprise networks can't handle big data loads
As more data moves through the network, efforts to keep up are lagging due to leadership and technology issues.
VMware touts hyperscale SD-WAN
VMware is teaming up with Dell/EMC to offer a hardware/software package rolled up into a managed SD-WAN service.
Software-defined perimeter – the essence of trust
Within a zero-trust environment, there is no implicit trust. Thus, trust must be sourced from somewhere else in order to gain access to protected resources.
Cisco assesses the top enterprise SD-WAN technology drivers
Cisco SD-WAN customer National Instruments touts benefits of the technology: Speed, efficiency, security, cost savings

Tempered Networks simplifies secure network connectivity and microsegmentation
Tempered Networks’ IDN platform uses the Host Identity Protocol to partition and isolate the network into trusted microsegments, providing an easy and cost-effective way to secure the network.
Software Defined Perimeter (SDP): The deployment
After discussing with numerous SDP vendors, I have discovered that the current SDP landscape tends to be based on specific use cases and projects, as opposed to a technology that has to be implemented globally.
VMware eyes Avi Networks for data-center software
VMware punched up its data center network virtualization capabilities by announcing it would buy Avi Networks load balancing, analytics and application delivery technology
Software Defined Perimeter (SDP): Creating a new network perimeter
Considering the way networks work today and the change in traffic patterns; both internal and to the cloud, this limits the effect of the fixed perimeter.
Cisco offers cloud-based security for SD-WAN resources
Cisco, at its Cisco Live customer event this week, took aim at that requirement by telling customers it added support for the company’s cloud-based security gateway platform – known as Umbrella -- to its SD-WAN software offerings.
Juniper: Security could help drive interest in SDN
Juniper finds that enterprise interest in software-defined networking (SDN) is influenced by other factors, including artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML).
What is SDN and where software-defined networking is going
Software-defined networking (SDN) established a foothold in cloud computing, intent-based networking, and network security, with Cisco, VMware, Juniper and others leading the charge.
Juniper opens SD-WAN service for the cloud
Juniper has taken the wraps off a cloud-based SD-WAN service it says will ease the management and bolster the security of wired and wireless-connected branch office networks.
How to adopt a disruptive network technology with minimal disruption
Emerging network technologies such as SDN, SD-WAN and intent-based networking promise to improve service and streamline operations, but don't let the transition process throw a wrench into existing activities.
