Managing application connectivity securely through a merger or acquisition – best practices
When going through a merger/acquisition or a divesture process, companies typically need to move some of their applications to a different data center or to the cloud, merge duplicate applications, or replicate applications to new entities, and decommission the unnecessary ones in order to streamline operations and costs.
In practice, firewall policies will need to be changed or migrated to support the new connectivity, applications, servers and often new firewalls – without creating security risks, outages or compliance violations. This is a very complex project that, if not planned and implemented properly, can have a very serious impact on business operations.
Presented by Edy Almer, AlgoSec’s VP of Products, this new technical webinar will discuss best practices and a real-life use case, which will demonstrate how companies can successfully manage application connectivity through an M&A or divestiture process.
Key topics include how to:
• Automatically discover and map existing application connectivity flows prior to making any changes
• Proactively assess the impact of every change to ensure it does not break connectivity, affect compliance or create a security hole
• Define and execute the necessary security policy changes for traditional firewalls and cloud security controls
• Deliver unified security policy management across the new enterprise environment

Accelerating 5G Impact Through Cell Site Backhaul AutomationItential
As mobile operators rush to deploy and expand their 5G coverage, they are all recognizing that the backhaul network, (the network of cell site routers and aggregation routers that carry traffic from the cell sites to the core network), must evolve to support the bandwidth and latency needs of performance-hungry 5G customers. Some providers have rushed to increase bandwidth while others have embarked on aggressive programs to replace older circuits with ethernet or optical links. With projections of growth to up to 8 million cell sites to support 5G, deploying and operating the backhaul network elements is a massive ongoing effort for networking engineers and operations teams.
Itential has been working with several mobile operators to automate their cell site backhaul networks and the results have been transformational, allowing these operators to accelerate their 5G programs. While enabling the transport network for new 5G capabilities like 5G network slicing, automation provides such benefits as reducing the cost to deploy and manage networks by 80%.
In this webinar, we discuss why automation is ideal for 5G backhaul by discussing topics such as:
Drivers for backhaul transformation
Essential components of a backhaul automation solution
Key automation use cases that eliminate manual effort and enable engineers to focus on high-impact activities
Business impact and benefits of backhaul automation
How backhaul automation can be an enabler for 5G network slicing and other 5G new features
This presentation provides an overview of business trends and perspectives on the deployment and implementation of network virtualization technologies.

Measuring and Maximizing the Business Impact of Network AutomationItential
As networks become more complex, the rate of change is exceeding human capacity and automation is needed to scale. Automation provides opportunities to re-engineer business processes and shift from human-centric processes to machine-centric in order to maximize business value. However, given all of the choices involved in selecting and implementing an automation platform, decision makers should focus on evolving their ability to evaluate options and measure the business impact of network automation through creating a metric driven automation strategy.
In this webinar, we’ll dive into the following:
- Getting started with measuring automation value by selecting the right use cases.
- How to measure success factors for an effective automation strategy.
- Constructs of a framework for assessing automation value.
- Key metrics to consider when evaluating automation solutions.
- Considerations for scaling automation strategies to support business objectives.
Yesterday’s siloed approach to performance monitoring is failing the needs of today’s hybridized and software-defined environments, necessitating a new, unified and blended view of performance domains.

An experience is a personal and emotional event we remember. Every experience is established based upon pre-determined expectations we conceive and create in our minds. It’s personal, and therefore, remains a moving and evolving target in every scenario. When our experience concludes and the moment has passed, the outcome remains in our memory. Think about what makes you happy when connecting with your own device and then think about what makes you really upset when things are hard, complicated, and slow. If the user has a bad experience in anyone of these areas (simple, fast, and smart), they are likely to leave, share their negative experience, and potentially never return. Users might forget facts or details about their computing environment but they find it difficult to forgot the feeling behind a bad network experience. When something goes wrong with the network or an application, do you always get the blame?
So what can Ultra Low, consistent latency deliver? Low latency is a requirement for intensive, time critical applications. Latency is measure on a port-to-port basis, that once a frame is received on a ingress port how long does it take the frame to go through the internal switching infrastructure and leave an ingress port. The Summit X670 Top of Rack switch supports latency of around 800-900usec while the Black Diamond chassis, BDX8, can switch frames in a little as 3usec. We’re big believers in the value of disaggregation – of breaking down traditional data center technologies into their core components so we can build new systems that are more flexible, more scalable, and more efficient. This approach has guided Facebook from the beginning, as we’ve grown and expanded our infrastructure to connect more than 1.28 billion people around the world.
Flatter networks. Traditional data center networks have a minimum of three tiers: top of rack (ToR), aggregation and core. Often, there is more than one aggregation tier, meaning the data center could have three or more network tiers. When network traffic is primarily best effort, this is sufficient. But as more mission-critical, real-time traffic flows into the data center, it becomes critical that organizations move to two-tier networks.
An increase in east-west traffic flows. Legacy data center networks are designed for traffic to flow from the edge of the network into the core and then back to the edge in a north-south direction. Today, however, factors such as workforce mobility, Hadoop, big data and other applications are driving east-west traffic flows from server to server.
Virtualization of other IT assets. Historically, compute resources such as processor, memory and storage were resident in the server itself. Over time, more and more of these resources are being put into “pools” that can be accessed on demand. In this case, the data center network becomes a “fabric” that acts as the backplane for the virtualized data center.
