Using timely research conducted by surveying government technology leaders coupled with public sector insights, this session wi...

According to International Data Corporation (IDC), data centers need a New IP network infrastructure to support the latest evolutionary stage of IT, building on the prominence of the cloud, mobility, social media, and data analytics. The New IP is a modern approach to the network that includes open standards, Ethernet fabrics, software-defined networking, high level orchestration tools and a user centric application delivery focus. The way the...

For decades, networks have been viewed as merely the pipeline or transport mechanism of government information. This stagnant role of networks is changing as new capabilities are delivered through software and virtualization. The future of the government data center includes open, software-defined, user centric networks. This webinar will capitalize on information from the Federal Forum 2015 and provide insight into the changing role of the ne...
