Network managers need to be open to an expanded partnership with the security group. A new EMA report finds such collaboration is already underway in many organizations.
This is the third blog post in “thinking out loud while preparing Network Infrastructure as Code presentation for the network automation course” series. You might want to start with Network-Infrastructure-as-Code Is Nothing New and Adjusting System State blog posts.
As I described in the previous blog post, the hardest problem any infrastructure-as-code (IaC) tool must solve is “how to adjust current system state to desired state described in state definition file(s)”… preferably without restarting or rebuilding the system.

We wanted to give this podcast a bit of international flair, so we invited some overseas guests into the recording booth. I’m joined by Attilla de Groot (Sales Engineer for EMEA) and Sutharsan Sivapalan (Sales Engineer for APAC), who filled me in on the networking customers, trends and challenges that are cropping up in their respective regions. There are definitely differences between these two ends of the world, but you’d be surprised how much these regions have in common despite the distance.

“I think we have an extremely strong hand when we look at competing against somebody like Arista in the campus and branch,” said Scott Harrell.
SDN and NFV are contributing to the growth of interconnection because these technologies make it easier for customers to consume more bandwidth.
The performance monitoring company offers a single SaaS-based monitoring platform that monitors and manages application delivery, experience, and usage.
Monolithic compact DCI boxes are like a race car. But why buy a high-performance race car when all you really need is a flexible, rock-solid daily driver?
