Software-defined WAN offers organizations flexible connectivity, facilitates cloud strategies and improves application performance, all in a secure environment. It also can improve operational efficiencies and help control or reduce WAN costs. Approaches to SD-WAN implementation and supported capabilities vary from one OEM to another. This briefing will explore four of the top SD-WAN vendors and highlight the innovative features that set each of their solutions apart, including a live demonstration of our on-demand SD-WAN lab environments and explanation of how to access them.

Practical AI represents a unique opportunity for enterprises to make transformative, data-driven business decisions at an accelerated pace. Most of the enormous amounts of data generated by modern organizations end up in cold storage. By applying multiple AI approaches in a responsible and ethical manner, enterprises can extract insights from this data that improve efficiency and safety while positively impacting finances.

If you are trying to sort through the marketing hype of Wi-Fi 7 and the blazing fast speeds and features, or wondering the benefits and impact of WPA3, this briefing is for you.

Organizations depend on their campuses and branches not only as operational hubs but as vital touchpoints for employees and customers. A poor experience at these locations can erode brand trust, while a seamless, technology-driven experience enhances productivity, satisfaction, and loyalty. With the campus and branch increasingly reliant on robust networks, the stakes for getting it right have never been higher

The Data Center Network (DCN) is essential for supporting high-performance workloads, including Artificial Intelligence (AI). This briefing will explore next-generation data center architectures, highlighting the advantages of using an underlay/overlay topology and controller-based management. As DCN architectures become more complex, day-two operations software becomes increasingly necessary. This session will provide an overview of DCN hardware, architectures, and day-two operations, along with a brief introduction to the most commonly seen DCN OEMs in enterprise data centers.

Increased visibility, reducing the attack surface, and rationalizing zero trust theory with technical implementation—these are just a few of the outcomes that a successful zero trust program should provide. Securing the enterprise, both on-premise and in the cloud, is a challenge in today's landscape.

Digital Twin / Metaverse technology is a powerful way to create virtual replicas of physical assets and virtual worlds with which these replicas and people, processes, and systems interact. By using real-time data from sensors and other sources, a Digital Twin can simulate, optimize, and monitor the performance of products and operations in a digital environment. This leads to better outcomes, such as improved efficiency, quality, reliability, and innovation. In this briefing, we will show how Digital Twin technology works and how it can benefit your business. We will also share some examples of how other companies have used Digital Twin technology to solve their challenges and achieve their goals.

Get an overview of and discuss Wi-Fi and wireless tools to proactively maintain the health of your wireless networks. Additionally, WWT SMEs will address Wireless Surveying and Planning beyond your WLAN's OEM tools.

The primary storage landscape has changed drastically over the last three years. The mass adoption of flash storage, the movement of workloads to the cloud and the emergence of new fabric technologies with NVMe are all trends that are reshaping how we go about selecting primary storage in the data center.

SD-Branch is an umbrella label applied to the growing interest in a cloud-managed single vendor stack for the branch. The solution is comprised of SD-WAN, SD-LAN all wrapped in security and often delivered with elements of SASE and SSE. In this briefing we will talk through the strengths and challenges of the top OEM's in this space covering: Cisco-Meraki, Aruba, Juniper/MIst, Nile and Fortinet.
