Learn How Transdev Slashed Disaster Recovery Costs by 73%

There is a global paradigm shift from how desktops are being delivered to employees. While VDI was once a relatively minor workload deployed as a temporary fix to user problems, VDI has now become a mainstream tier one workload. However, VDI can be complex, time consuming and hard. Further complicating things is the of VDI workloads to a public-cloud hosted environment. So how do you ensure that your IT staff is able to manage your VDI environment for your global remote on any cloud, easily, without breaking the bank? NetApp and MicroWorks have the answer.

"Data is the new science. Big Data holds the answers." - Pat Gelsinger, the CEO of VMware, Inc. Organizations use their data to support and influence decisions and build data-intensive products and services, such as recommendation, prediction, and diagnostic systems. Apache Spark is a fast and general engine for large-scale data processing ,built around speed, ease of use, and sophisticated analytics. It was originally developed at UC Berkeley in 2009.Spark is a good fit for the Hadoop open-source community as its built on top of the Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS).

5G and the applications it enables, including IoT, requires a significant upgrade and overhaul of carrier infrastructure beyond the radio networks (RAN). To support the diversity of applications, explosion in number and types of devices, capacity and scale of traffic, CSPs (communications service providers) are turning to adoption of data center innovation adapted and re-developed for telco networks. Virtualization, software-defined controls, distributed computing technologies in the form of NFV, SDN and MEC play key roles in the new telco infrastructure. One of the key technologies is SDN, which is important to creating flexibility in the network to support 5G constructs such as network slicing. SDN’s centralized management and distributed controls over complex software-defined networks across the mobile infrastructure is also a key element in 5G scalability.

Traditional WAN was built with the assumption that all applications would be hosted at a centralized on-premises data center. In this model, traffic forwarding was based on destination IP. Enterprises today are migrating slowly but steadily to cloud-based applications, either in the form of IaaS or SaaS.
