Emerging data center models are based on flexibility and non-disruptive, on-demand scalability. Infrastructure must not only support these capabilities, but be able itself to provide these same benefits and capabilities. F5 ScaleN is a breakthrough in high availability and scalability, offering the robust capabilities required to enable multi-tenant solutions, elastic applications, and infrastructure for any environment.

Technology is advancing rapidly, transforming many aspects of society, including how we communicate, navigate, and treat diseases. The Internet of Things (IoT) is growing rapidly as there are more electronics than ever to run accurate diagnostics, more sensors to increase autonomy, and better connectivity to avoid interference. Plus, the miniaturization of semiconductor components and advancement in electronic display technologies enables consumer electronic (CE) devices to become compact.

Servers are the backbone of modern IT infrastructure. They support the computational requirements of the entire application portfolio of an enterprise organization. However, their life span is finite. A new generation of servers performs much better than its predecessors. Still, is this outperformance worth it?

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.

The future of wireless networking needs will continue to grow. Location based services, sensors, and IoT devices will continue to be added to wireless networks. Expanding and new uses of Wi-Fi that require high performing connections like AR/VR, AI/ML, and new technologies we don’t even know about yet will compete for wireless network resources. Finally, all the standard uses we currently associate with Wi-Fi like video and voice calls, streaming services and cloud hosted applications will continue to bring more devices to wireless networks with increasing traffic demands.

5G deployments continue their upward trend and will soon be the dominant mobile wireless protocol deployed in North America. The ecosystem is gathering valuable information from these deployments, and one area of focus is the transport network. As part of 5G’s evolution, key architecture components are being separated and distributed to the cloud in ways that make 5G more scalable and flexible. Meanwhile, bandwidth demands continue to increase at the same time applications and services require low latency. New requirements are presented to the transport network at each step of an operator’s 5G journey. The transport infrastructure of today must be flexible to adapt to upcoming requirements as it enables new architectures, tools, and ultimately, 5G networks innovation, monetization, and performance. The fundamental goal of the 5G transport network is to deliver transparent connectivity that allows both present and future functions to work together seamlessly.
