Vendor Talk: Next Gen Data Centers Will Fail Without Storage, Compute, and Network Workflow Integration

Disruption, in the form of automation and workflow integration, must occur for the network to keep pace with storage and compute. Virtualization and Hyperconvergence have significantly increased agility, performance and operational efficiency within the storage and compute domains. It’s time for DevOps integration across storage, compute AND network domains to deliver true data center agility.

Learn How:

• Networks can be built around data and storage workload needs, not the other way around 
• Network configuration can be automated from within hypervisor management tools (vCenter, OpenStack)
• To ensure IP storage and VSAN workloads are non disruptive to business critical application traffic
• To deliver visualization across the physical network and virtualization domains
