As you deploy cloud infrastructure in your organization, the role that networking plays has a significant impact and may not always be clear. This webinar discusses the importance of the network to cloud computing, why the network must change, and how to easily address these challenges. In this webinar you will learn how to: •Extend corporate security perimeter into the cloud •Learn how to use your own network, no re-IP addressing required! •Make cloud adoption easier in the Enterprise

Top Considerations

5. Consideration #1 – L2 or L3?
Layer 2 networking (subnets)
Benefits:
No IP change required
Great workload
compatibility
How?
VPN encapsulation
Telco provided solutions
(MOE, Dark fiber)
Layer 3 networking (routing)
Benefits:
Greater security
Greater Performance
How?
Internet + VPN
Telco provided solutions
(MPLS, VPLS)
5

6. Consideration #2 - Performance
Not all applications are
equal
Keep workloads together
to mitigate chatty
WANInternet behaviors
Know your bandwidth
needs
6

7. Consideration #3 – Compliance/Security
What controls are in place to maintain compliance and
security?
Should my servers be directly connected over the
Internet?
7

8. Example Design #1 – L2 VPN
Advantages
Quick to get going
Standards based technology
Security perimeters enforced on-
premises
Disadvantages
Gateway traffic traverses WAN
Complexity
SLA considerations
8

9. Example Design #2 – L3 (MPLS, VPN,
etc.)
Advantages
More options for security
Faster failover times
Policy control
Disadvantages
Workload compatibility
Re-networking efforts
Cloud on-ramp time

10. What's the best path?
Understand the
workloads being moved
to the cloud.
What is the problem we
are trying to solve?
Assess your tools
capabilities – are there
gaps?
