VMware 2019 Technology Outlook:Cloud and Security

Today's solutions go beyond legacy hypervisor approaches, achieving the highest levels of freedom from interference (FFI), Functional Safety (FuSa), and the best multi-core performance in the embedded market. eSOL explained how to provide the best aspects of virtualization and real-time operating-system performance with the latest development tools in this webinar.

For organizations of all kinds, the transition to multi-cloud and SaaS is highlighting the inflexibility, low bandwidth capacity and cost-ineffectiveness of their legacy WAN and branch architecture. Enterprises need increased application-driven and cloud-intelligent connectivity with increased and cost-effective bandwidth across their WAN edge. SD-WAN is quickly becoming the new standard for the WAN and branch enabling cost savings, increased reliability and flexibility for their cloud and branch office connectivity needs. Yet many SD-WAN projects are delayed because teams have questions about the technology, the vendor landscape, and how they’ll manage this new approach to managing the WAN.

Virtualizing next-generation access is about more than SD-WAN. It’s about enabling the next generation of virtualized network functions. While other vendors sell a single SD-WAN appliance, Dell EMC and ADVA have formally partnered to offer more than 50 commercial VNFs (Virtual Network Functions). These VNF are hosted on Dell EMC’s innovative Virtual Edge Platform, which is a universal CPE.

Being able to maintain a well managed and curated Data Warehouse, along with keeping up with all of the demands of a very sophisticated consumer group can be a challenge. The new user wants access to data, they want to experiment, fail fast and if they do find usable insights/algorithms they want them productionized. This puts pressure on an IT organization and pushes them closer to a Bimodal operation where the regular IT processes that are highly curated, well defined and managed contrast sharply with the demands of the more sophisticated user.
