Cisco ACI and F5 BIG-IP Design Guide

May 12, 2022

Cisco ACI and F5 BIG-IP Design Guide
The document discusses load balancer design considerations and deployment options in Cisco ACI, specifically  with F5 BIG-IP from three aspects: network design, F5 design, and multi-tenant design. This document covers features up to Cisco ACI Release 5.2. One of the key considerations of the network design with load balancer is to ensure incoming and return traffic go through the same load balancer (one exception is direct server return (DSR), which doesn't have this requirement). There are various options you can use to insert the load balancer. One way is to use the load balancer as a gateway for servers or as a routing next hop for routing instances. Another option is to use Source Network Address Translation (SNAT) on the load balancer or use ACI Policy-Based Redirect (PBR) to make the return traffic go back to the load balancer.

Versa SD-WAN Solution Use Case for Satellite ISPs

whitePaper | July 19, 2022

Satellite networks offer their customers several advantages over other types of connectivity. They are easily deployed, reliable, and allow a wide degree of mobility, making them a perfect fit for Disaster Recovery Plans (DRP). They are an essential asset in places where other connectivity methods are not available, such as oil rigs, vessels, or even planes. However, they have several characteristics that make them harder to manage when compared to other kinds of networks. This document will discuss those challenges and explore how the Versa Operating System (VOS™) can help you extract better performance out of your Satellite links.

Data Infrastructure for IoT White Paper

whitePaper | August 11, 2022

Over the years of delivering IoT infrastructure software for enterprises, we have found that enterprises mostly build single IoT applications in a scenario-first manner. However, with the gradual maturity of IoT technology, the data generated by massive devices in the IoT era provides a richer data base for enterprise digitization. As the data generation subjects shift from human behavior to device state, the IoT era will face more real-time stream data, and its volume will expand from TB level in the mobile Internet era to PB or even EB level.

ENABLING SASE WITH JUNIPER AI-DRIVEN SD-WAN

whitePaper | September 6, 2022

The modern distributed workplace—including enterprises with thousands of branches and remote workers—requires updated approaches to cloud, networking, and security infrastructure. Cloud migration has opened the door to a huge increase in sophisticated applications, requiring networks that can carry traffic to an increasingly remote workforce. In turn, this creates a unique set of new requirements for security, including special capabilities to handle unpredictable locations of users, applications, and traffic flows.

SO MANY WAYS TO WAN

whitePaper | September 13, 2022

Software-defined WAN (SD-WAN) is an application-aware service that intelligently routes traffic in real time based on established business policies, along with network quality and availability. SD-WAN is used to connect multiple locations in a network to each other, to a data center, to applications and data in the cloud, or to SaaS platforms. Leveraging multiple, cost-effective access types at each location in an active-active configuration, an SD-WAN network routes application traffic over the best-performing network elements in real time and ensures automated failover for resiliency.

The Business Value of Dell Technologies APEX Multicloud and As-a-Service Solutions

whitePaper | August 11, 2023

IDC’s research demonstrates that enterprise organizations are prioritizing digital infrastructure (DX) resiliency as a foundational element of their IT strategy. Organizations are looking for richer levels of visibility, cross-platform control, advanced data management, and protection that spans the entire ecosystem, including public or private cloud, on premises, colocation facility, and edge. DX initiatives rely on data-driven insights to deliver competitive differentiation, increased customer engagement, streamlined business operations, increased staff productivity, and growth in revenue and profitability. IT infrastructure is one of the crucial pillars of DX. In fact, DX cannot succeed without IT transformation, aligned with business strategy to meet or exceed service-level objectives for data-driven insights. Because of this realization, organizations are now focused on managing outcomes instead of IT infrastructure and looking to vendors and partners to help reach this goal.
