High-Performance Architecture: An Engine to Drive Your AI Strategy Forward | Experts
Generative AI initiatives are taking flight across the world as organizations of all kinds explore new and innovative ways to put the disruptive technology to use. But has anyone stopped to think if their IT infrastructure is ready to meet the intense data demands required of advanced AI solutions?
Join Derrick Monahan, WWT's data strategy and high-performance architecture practice manager, as he talks about the vital nature of high-performance architecture — the merger of high-performance computing (HPC) and AI and machine learning (ML) workstreams into one architectural framework with the core IT infrastructure components needed to unlock the seemingly unlimited world of possibilities made possible by AI. Derrick also talks about the role of data and data governance, real world use cases being used in today's business landscape and ways you can put all of it into action.
Hands-On Lab Workshop: OSPF
Join us for the Virtual Lab Workshop! During this exclusive session, the host will introduce the Open Shortest Path Foundations (OSPF) Learning path.
This learning path on foundational Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) provides a comprehensive introduction and deep dive into the core aspects of OSPF. It starts by explaining the basics of OSPF, including its purpose, operation, and fundamental concepts such as OSPF Neighbors, advertising routes, authentication, OSPF network types, and many others. This learning path aims to equip network professionals with the foundational knowledge needed to manage and optimize OSPF in real-world environments, emphasizing best practices and common pitfalls.
How to Meet AI's Power Demands with Next-Gen Infrastructure
The AI revolution is here and it's hungry for power, space and cooling that most data centers simply weren't built to provide. This isn't about future proofing. It's about survival in a landscape where power demands are skyrocketing beyond what most facilities were ever designed to handle.

NSX-T Virtual Lab 7: Configure Logical Switching
Logical switching is configured as "segments" within NSX-T. Previously known as "logical switches," segments represent Layer 2 broadcast domains within the NSX-T environment. These segments can be deployed on both the N-VDS and native vSphere Distributed Switch (vDS) and will be backed by either a VLAN or Overlay transport zone.
NSX-T Virtual Labs 9-11: Configure VMs, Explore Routing and Test 3-Tier App
In these labs, you will be migrating the three-tier app virtual machines to your new NSX segments. Then you will verify that all the application components are reachable and that BGP is peering correctly. Lastly, you will confirm that the three-tier app is working appropriately.
NSX-T Virtual Lab 12: Tags & Groups
VMware NSX-T provides a robust tagging mechanism that allows metadata to be applied to nearly every logical object created within the system. Tags can also be applied to workloads that are part of the NSX environment, such as virtual machines.
NSX-T Virtual Lab 13: Distributed Firewall
The NSX-T Distributed Firewall is a powerful feature that provides robust security at the vNIC level, allowing for segmentation of workloads in a myriad of ways. In this lab, you will utilize the groups you created using tags (in Lab 12) to deploy firewall rules.
NSX-T Virtual Lab 2: Add vSphere Distributed Switch
In this lab, you will be adding a new distributed switch to your vSphere environment.
NSX-T Virtual Lab 1: Explore NSX-T Environment
In this lab, you'll spend some time familiarizing yourself with the lab environment you will be working in.
NSX-T Virtual Lab 3: Add Compute Manager
In the context of NSX-T, a compute manager is a system that manages hypervisor hosts and their accompanying virtualized workloads. A prime example of this is VMware vCenter Server.
NSX-T Virtual Lab 4: Inventory Preparation
In this lab, we will be creating objects that will help us lay the foundation for our NSX-T environment.
NSX-T Virtual Lab 5: Prepare ESX Hosts for NSX-T
Here you will be preparing the VMware hosts within the "Compute" cluster to be NSX Transport Nodes. During this process, NSX Manager will install various components on the host and will provision the TEP interface.
NSX-T Virtual Lab 8: Configure Logical Routing
In this lab, you will configure the distributed logical routing components of NSX-T. Though not required, we will be creating a two-tier routing topology, with one Tier-0 and Tier-1 router respectively.
NSX-T Virtual Lab 6: Deploy Edge Node
An NSX Edge Transport Node is a node within NSX-T that has several functions, including acting as the gateway into and out of the NSX-T fabric. In this section, we will be deploying an edge in the virtual machine form factor so that the endpoints in our environment can access external resources.

Arista EVPN VXLAN 101 Lab
This Arista MP-BGP EVPN Lab provides exposure to the new technology and capabilities of the products used. This lab introduces the Arista Cloud Vision Portal(CVP) and introduces students to the basics of building the VXLAN L3LS Underlay, MP-BGP overlay, MLAG, Asymmetric and Symmetric IRB, and eternal L2/L3 connectivity. It also provides an in-depth look at Arista Cloud Vision Portal(CVP) and how to use it for day 0,1 building and day 2 operations. 3 VXLAN EVPN scenarios based on best practices from the Arista design guides, ACE3 course material, Arista TAC support the Arista EOS forum posts. There are many different ways to create an Arista-based VXLAN EVPN fabric; these labs present a migration phase from a standard 3 tier VLAN and SVI-based network to a VXLAN fabric, Then the fabric changes to using Asymmetrical IRB and Symmetrical IRB. BGP routing is the underlay, overlay and connectivity to the remote data center under migration.
Exploring Cisco NEXUS Dashboard
Cisco has been at the forefront of developing a suite of standalone tools for data center networking, collectively known as the Day 2 Operations Suite. Recently, Cisco has initiated the integration of these tools into a unified interface called NEXUS Dashboard, providing a consolidated view and shared data repositories for enhanced application correlation. This Learning path is designed specifically for those new to networking or new to the NEXUS Dashboard product. Future learning paths will go into more detail about operating and implementing the NEXUS Dashboard platform.

Shift Left to Protect APIs with F5 | Partner Spotlight
APIs have become the backbone of modern digital interactions, connecting everything from morning coffee purchases to streaming services. But the rise of API-centric architectures has drastically expanded the attack surface -- over 90 percent of web-based cyberattacks are now targeting API endpoints, exploiting new vulnerabilities often overlooked by security teams – and rendered traditional security measures are no longer sufficient.
Join F5 Field CTO Chuck Herrin and WWT's Head of Global Cyber Strategy Traci Byrne as they talk about the urgent need for more dynamic and comprehensive defense strategies to prevent breaches. Chuck and Traci detail how security teams can "shift left" to better address API risks and vulnerabilities and outline practical steps security leaders can take to bolster their defenses.
