When operating a hybrid cloud environment, the underlying network connecting compute, switching and storage assets frequently gets overlooked. However, with each minute of network downtime costing an average of USD $7,900, whether your IT assets are located within an on-premise data center, or within a colocation data center, the performance of the network is more important than ever. Critical networking considerations include:
- Security
- Speed of deployment
- Managing larger networks with fewer resources
- Scalability
- Minimizing environmental impact of deployed solutions
- Future performance
With fiber optic infrastructure providing far greater performance and reliability than copper, fiber dominates the physical layer of the data center. This session explains how future ready data centers can adopt networking infrastructure enabling your network to meet today’s performance and security requirements, while providing a future-ready migration path to your hybrid cloud environment of tomorrow.
