Why the cloud will never eat the data center
Even if traditional data-center tasks are all moved to the cloud, there will still be a need for on-site infrastructure that will ultimately require what looks like a traditional data center.
Next-gen networks: Feds have cash for good ideas
The National Science foundation will be doling out research dollars for innovations in software-defined networking, network function virtualization, cloud computing, analytics, more.
How the network can support zero trust
Zero trust architecture calls for granting just enough access to network resources so individuals can accomplish their work tasks – nothing more – and the network itself can help.
SD-WAN and analytics: A marriage made for the new normal
Reliance on SD-WAN analytics grows as customers move toward cloud, security services
Smart network upgrades to consider before the next pandemic
COVID-19 is driving enterprises to evaluate technologies that can improve network availability and agility, such as SD-WAN, secure access service edge (SASE), intent-based networking (IBN), and network automation.
Nvidia’s aggressive purchases could signal the era of open networking
After buying Cumulus and Mellanox, Nvidia can provide the full stack of elements with support to encourage mainstream-enterprise adoption of open networking.
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.
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

Intent-Based Networking (IBN): Bridging the gap on network complexity
Intent-Based Networking was a result of the need for greater network automation.
AT&T partners with IBM and Microsoft, focuses on network capabilities
AT&T's partnerships with IBM and Microsoft will enable the company to focus on network capabilities, such as 5G, edge computing, and software-defined networks.
Public internet should be all software-defined
Having a programmable public internet will correct inefficiencies in the current system, engineers at NOIA say.
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.
