AI had proven its utility for “the low-hanging fruit,” uses for which “the cost of being wrong has been pretty low.” The challenge now, he said, was to move the technology into a new phase for more sensitive “business-critical use cases,” like legal and security.

The Future of Emerging Technologies is Open Source

Just about every technology we take for granted, from smart televisions to cloud servers, relies heavily on open source software. Software’s significance in the digital transformation of large businesses expands the importance of open source.

Cloud Native Moves To Make Now

Building new processes on modern cloud infrastructure is an effective way to establish a resilient, scalable and secure platform for ongoing development of new applications that reduce the friction of every interaction. And a cloud native stance tells internal stakeholders, customers and partners that your eyes are focused on the horizon.

REIMAGINING THE NETWORK FOR A CLOUD NATIVE ERA

AS THE APPLICATION’S COMPONENTS BECAME THINNER AND THINNER (MICROSERVICES, FUNCTIONS), AND GEOGRAPHICALLY DIVERSE, THE CONNECTIVITY PROBLEM FOR EVEN A SINGLE APPLICATION BECAME MUCH, MUCH WORSE.

ACCELERATING CLOUD NATIVE FOR OPTIMIZED APPLICATION EXPERIENCES

TODAY, APPLICATION EXPERIENCE PRACTICALLY IS THE BRAND. MORE AND MORE, CONSUMER LOYALTY IS INSPIRED BY A COMPANY’S APP: ITS FEATURE VELOCITY, EASE OF USE, AND TRUST AND SECURITY.

CLOUD COMPLICATIONS, AND HOW TO FIX THEM

CISCO IS SOLVING THE CONNECTIVITY AND SECURITY CHALLENGES OF AN APPLICATION-FIRST MULTI-CLOUD WORLD IN A HOLISTIC MANNER. WITH APPLICATION-FIRST INFRASTRUCTURES, CISCO WILL BE SOLVING FOR THE COMPLEXITIES OF CONNECTING AND SECURING APPLICATIONS AND APIS.

PREDICTIONS FOR THE FUTURE OF WORK

FOR 2021 AND BEYOND, THERE ARE A FEW TOP-OF-MIND PREDICTIONS THAT LOOK AT THE BIGGER PICTURE FOR THE FUTURE OF WORK, AS SO MANY OF US ARE RE-IMAGINING WHAT THAT WILL BE, AND HOW SOME THINGS HAVE CHANGED FOREVER. LOOKING AT PREDICTIONS FROM AI/ML, QUANTUM, EDGE AND THE FUTURE OF WORK ACROSS SUPPLY CHAIN TO HEALTHCARE.  

CISCO CN-WAN SMASHES TOGETHER SD-WAN & KUBERNETES

THE BASIC GIST OF CN-WAN IS TO ALLOW DEVOPS TEAMS TO LAY OUT THE WAN NEEDS OF THE MICROSERVICES THAT THEY DEPLOY IN A KUBERNETES-MANAGED CLUSTER AND FOR THE NETWORK OPERATIONS FOLKS TO AUTOMATICALLY IMPORT THOSE NEEDS INTO THEIR DYNAMIC WAN OPTIMIZATIONS.

CISCO EYES FULL STACK CONNECTIVITY

CISCO WANTS TO DRIVE CONNECTIVITY THROUGH EVERY LAYER OF THE NETWORKING STACK, A MOVE THAT IS NEEDED TO ALLOW ENTERPRISES TO BETTER MONETIZE THEIR CLOUD INVESTMENTS AND ONE THAT IS ALSO BECOMING INCREASINGLY IMPORTANT AS THOSE ENTERPRISES LOOK TO DRIVE INNOVATION UP THEIR DEVELOPMENT STACKS AND DEPLOYMENTS ACROSS THE INTERNET.

ROLLING THE DICE ON NETWORK SLICING: KUBERNETES SPARKS A RETHINK OF 5G EDGE

THE PROBLEM WITH DISTRIBUTED COMPUTING, AS WITH DISTRIBUTED ANYTHING, IS FINDING THE APPROPRIATE SYSTEM OF GOVERNANCE. A MANAGEMENT MODEL FOR DISTRIBUTED COMPUTING MAY BE EMERGING, THOUGH IT MIGHT NOT BE THE ONE TELCOS WERE HOPING FOR.

DOWN AN INVISIBLE ROAD: SERVICE MESH’S UNPAVED PATH TO PRACTICALITY

A SOLUTION TO MAINTAINING CONNECTIVITY FOR THOUSANDS OF MICROSERVICES IN A NETWORK, MAY HAVE COME JUST IN TIME, OR EVEN A MOMENT TOO LATE FOR SOME. YET JUST BEHIND IT MAY BE ANOTHER SOLUTION TO THE TRAFFIC JAM IT’S EXPECTED TO CAUSE.

DELIVERING ON MULTI-CLOUD PROMISES MEANS KILLING COMPLEXITY

ACCORDING TO PANDEY, POLICY AND DESIGN INTENT ARE ARGUABLY THE BEST PLACES TO ARCHITECT THESE MULTI-CLOUD NETWORKS, AND IT’S DOWN TO ENSURING THAT IT’S EASY FOR CUSTOMERS TO INTEGRATE AT AN API LEVEL. “ANYTHING BEYOND THAT DRIVES COMPLEXITY”

WHY GOOGLE’S NETWORKS NEEDS FIVE CONTROLLERS

GOOGLE’S NETWORK HAS FIVE CONTROL SYSTEMS, AND IN AN SDN WORLD CONGRESS KEYNOTE THURSDAY, VIJOY PANDEY, GOOGLE’S HEAD OF ENGINEERING FOR NETWORKING, EXPLAINED WHY EACH ONE IS NEEDED.

THE SDN DIAL TONE – WHAT NETWORK VIRTUALIZATION SHOULD DO

CIOS OF MODERN-DAY DATA CENTERS ARE CONCERNED ABOUT ELASTICITY, AGILITY, END-TO-END GUARANTEES IN THE FACE OF CLIENT-DEVICE MOBILITY AS WELL AS WORKLOAD MOBILITY, AND A SCALE-OUT INFRASTRUCTURE THAT CAN SUPPORT THESE ATTRIBUTES. THIS DRIVER FOR ELASTICITY AND AGILITY IS REALIZED IN THE NETWORK VIA THE PROMISE OF NETWORK VIRTUALIZATION.
