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.

In this lab, you'll spend some time familiarizing yourself with the lab environment you will be working in.

IT infrastructure that's capable of responding to whatever tomorrow brings is crucial to remaining competitive in today's global markets.  At World Wide Technology, we understand that in order to support your business, your employees and customers' growing demands, you need a foundation that enables innovation and fosters growth. 

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.

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.

The intense focus on developing and deploying AI solutions is putting significant strain on teams that manage data and infrastructure. To enable AI, IT leaders need scalable solutions that are flexible and simple to manage. Join Anthony Cinelli, senior director of global Dell PowerFlex servers, and John Lochausen, a technical solutions architect at WWT, as they talk about how you can implement modern infrastructure solutions and how Dell PowerFlex servers can revolutionize your data center operations.

Cyber resilience has become an executive- and board-level imperative for organizations of all kinds. But how can leaders ensure their businesses can withstand and recover from the inevitable cyber attack? In this episode of Meet the Chief, Commvault CEO Sanjay Mirchandani details his unique perspective on the evolving nature of cyber resilience, the shift from pure defense to a focus on data protection and rapid recovery, and the need for a unified platform to safeguard all workloads. Sanjay also explores the responsible use of AI in enhancing recovery capabilities and operational excellence, and shares insights related to building a culture of trust and transparency.

Adopting cloud-native development capabilities is a strategic priority for many IT leaders. But cloud is not a place; it's an operating model. So what exactly does "cloud native" mean? Join WWT technical solutions architects Steve Younger and Matt Hilliker as they talk about how treating "cloud native" as a journey for building and running applications from the ground up can maximize the advantages of your cloud deployment model. Steve and Matt also identify common patterns they're seeing from client organizations as it relates to going cloud native and which industries stand to gain the most from incorporating a cloud-native mindset.

Implementing an application-centric mode to specifically meet a segmentation strategy and zone architecture requires a different approach — one referred to as the hybrid model.

In this lab, you will be adding a new distributed switch to your vSphere environment.

A cloud managed, high performance, easy to deploy and operate, consolidated network - integrated with your Al stack.

Moving policy and network function into the server at the NIC is an exciting transition in Data Center Networking.
