siliconindia | | July 201819By Ari Bose, VP & CIO, Brocade I see four big challenges technology that the networking industry needs to address:1. Security­End-to-End security covering data center,networks, and end points­ this needs to be predictive and enable smart analytics to baseline traffic flow both internal and external and identify anomalies.2. Data Center and private cloud enablement to enablea developer operations environment is important. This will allow dynamic scaling and provisioning resulting in cycle time reductions and enabling rapid delivery of applications as well as self-service for the line of business.3. Orchestration and the ability to manage and supportentire infrastructure stack, providing a single pane of glass by service is huge. To be able to define application threshold requirements enabling the orchestration layer to provision the right infrastructure components based on service delivery needs. Low latency requirements will drive flash storage.4. Lastly, highly available and scalable networks withzero downtime will allow inline upgrades and dynamic scaling. Zero downtime will allow these activities to be done anytime anyplace with no negative impact on the business.Integration of data across enterprise for a 360-degree viewIt's important to drive a unified messaging and information bus architecture allowing both internal and external data sources. Data integration should be dynamic and real time. Underlying architectures should allow for big data analytics to enable correlation of data across disparate data sources. Solutions should include embedded mobile device management (MDM) solution to unify customer data.SIMPLIFIED DEPLOYMENT AND MANAGEMENT OF DATA CENTER AND NETWORK OPERATIONSCIOINSIGHTS
