cloud enabled network

Diversified Agency Services serves a global network of marketing services and specialty communication companies. To provide its internal customers and their clients with safe, secure access to applications and services, DAS worked with HP on a multi-year project to consolidate its IT networks and implement HP SDN cloud-enabled networking. These steps have vastly simplified DAS IT operations, enabling it to deliver a faster, more agile, and more secure network. Read this case study to learn more.

As enterprises embark on the digital transformation to take advantage of artificial intelligence, big data, machine learning, IoT, and cloud, they need a network infrastructure that gives them a solid foundation. Juniper Networks® Unite CloudEnabled Enterprise allows networking across your entire enterprise—campus, branch, and data center—ultimately helping you reduce risk, increase agility, lower costs, and enhance the customer experience. Here are the Top 6 reasons why enterprises embarking on the journey of digital transformation should switch to the Juniper Unite Cloud-Enabled Enterprise solution.

In reality, many applications are far from cloud ready, and some never will be. But almost every new application will be cloud enabled. So how do you evolve your data center into a private cloud and drive hybrid IT by connecting to public clouds, yet still cater for the needs of your legacy software? To try and understand the path to the cloud in greater detail, we’ve created this Infobrief from an extended interview conducted by the team at DatacenterDynamics with Juniper Networks’ Andy Ingram, the Global Vice President for Data Center and Cloud.

Cloud computing and the "bring your own device" (BYOD) trend will impact the design of future datacenters and their supporting networks. To attain the kind of business agility that companies now demand, network infrastructure needs to provide the flexibility required by cloud application workloads and the changing traffic patterns fostered by BYOD. To make networks more agile, new approaches to network implementation need to be enabled. As these trends continue, application delivery controllers (ADCs) will be critical elements in the new network infrastructure. This Technology Spotlight examines these trends and the role that F5 Networks' integrated scalable platform plays in this strategic market.

Today, the widespread availability of 3G and 4G cellular or wireless broadband networks enables digital signage to be deployed virtually anywhere. Combined with cloud-enabled network management and content delivery systems, 3G and 4G wireless broadband networks are propelling digital signage deployments at an accelerated pace. In countless venues, digital signage networked via wireless broadband signal penetrates hard-to-reach locations, new markets, and can achieve a faster return on investment.

One of the leading ways that today’s organizations are providing secure, reliable and scalable answers for their networking needs is through MPLS IP-VPN network usage. However, businesses are also looking to create Intelligent WAN that integrates security, application performance management, and cloud services in order to create more intelligent wide area networks. This paper examines how to use the attributes of MPLS-based VPNs to enable enterprises to create a truly intelligent WAN, discussing key planning, implementation and management considerations to pave the way for a more intelligent and cloud-enabled WAN.

A leading U.S.-based financial services firm was faced with the growing challenge of providing consistent application performance to a vast employee base and nationwide network of partners. The company turned to Equinix to help redesign its network, both to improve performance and prepare for a move to a cloud-enabled environment. Equinix worked with the firm to deploy bi-coastal Equinix Performance Hubs, extension nodes of the company’s existing network placed in strategically located Equinix International Business Exchange (IBX) data centers. A Performance Hub moves services closer to end users and provides direct access to networks and cloud providers. By deploying Performance Hubs, the customer created a high-performance services platform for its business. The result was a dramatic decrease in network latency, improvements in application performance and an enhanced user experience.

In today's virtual enterprise, access to corporate resources must be secure, reliable, and manageable, with consistently enforced policy while simultaneously allowing access from anywhere at any time. This is why access network strategies are critical to business growth.

Today Wi-Fi tends to be the primary network access method for many. This paper discusses key requirements to consider as you plan for a WLAN purchase.

MPLS IP-VPN network usage continues to grow and with good reason. MPLS IP-VPN provides secure, reliable, cost-effective and scalable answers for today’s enterprise networking needs.
