Presentation from 9/24/15 webcast presented by WWT Mobility and Access Lead Neil Anderson, on how deploying a Cisco Intelligent WAN (IWAN) strategy will be critical to meet the demands on your business. Bill Thompson and Laks Vijayarajan, technical solutions architects in WWT’s Advanced Technology Center (ATC), covered technical best practices to ensure a successful IWAN deployment.
World Wide Technology walks through how Cisco ONE can enable businesses to maintain customer service and meet the needs of end users while continuing to improve hardware
stacks. Cisco ONE can help identify how many licenses
you own and how effectively they are being utilized.
Every three to five years, IT departments are forced
to throw away 40 to 60 percent of their investments to
acquire assets and software to run it because of
changes in hardware. With Cisco ONE, now you can
procure hardware and software separately and own
and maintain your software licenses perpetually.

These slides--based on the webinar from leading IT analyst firm EMA and Cradlepoint--provide insights into new research on how enterprises are combining wireless WAN solutions and SD-WAN to drive success, including strategies for branch office continuity; how enterprises succeed with SD-WAN solutions; how to plan for the revolutionary potential of 5G networks.
SD WAN VS MPLS – Which is better for your Business?Phani Kumar
Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) has long been the standard for wide area network before SD-WAN came along. While most professionals consider SD-WAN to be the latest and more effective in enterprise networking problems, the benefits of MPLS technology cannot be ignored. Choosing between these two will depend on your company’s priorities. This guide will explore the two technologies to help you choose the best for your business.
The market is crowded with SD-WAN providers—from pure-play startups to more established infrastructure and WAN specialists. With so many vendors, each offering different SD-WAN features and functions, how do you find the solution that's right for your organization?
Before you engage with SD-WAN providers or assemble your shortlist, learn how to choose the right solution for your organization and evaluate the four critical factors of SD-WAN: architecture, performance, security, and provisioning/management.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!
