Go Big or Go Home: How to Pack More Features Into Existing Network Architectures | TEC37

Event Overview

Network traffic is growing more complex each and every day as hybrid and remote work continues to be the norm. That's putting traditional network architectures in a state of major upheaval after decades of relative stagnation. Wi-Fi, secure access service edge (SASE), private wireless — options for connectivity keep growing. This includes transport networks, which are evolving to deliver new services and user experiences. Join WWT technical solution architects Joshua Hogan and Tyler Tappy as they discuss the important details of implementing a converged transport network, which takes the long-reach optical technology typically found in standalone optical networks and consolidates it into a compact, high-performance router. Joshua and Tyler also cover key steps to putting a converged transport network into action.

Thinking Beyond Wi-Fi to Empower a Mobile Workforce | Research

For years, organizations' wireless strategies have been centered around when to upgrade to the latest version of Wi-Fi. But new technologies and use cases are forcing networking directors to think bigger about wireless networking in order to meet the needs of a dynamic and mobile workforce. Join WWT Mobility and IoT Practice Manager Bob Hrbek as he discusses these changes — from the role of private LTE in the enterprise to the wireless network becoming a launchpad for business innovation. Bob also talks about how advances in access points, controllers and more are lowering the barrier of entry to deploy different options for connectivity and why now is the right time to plan for the future.

More Than Just Plumbing: How the Next Generation of SD-WAN Can Enable the Business | WWT Experts

Major changes in workplace dynamics are pushing enterprise networks to new frontiers, which is forcing leaders to think of SD-WAN as more than just plumbing. In today's hybrid landscape, SD-WAN is quickly turning into a platform IT leaders can use to onboard and offload new solutions and features that enable the business.   Join WWT Networking Solutions Architect Ryan Makelky — a self-described SD-WAN sherpa — as he talks about how SD-WAN can serve as an ideal launchpad for larger architectural shifts, such as moving toward secure access service edge (SASE), secure service edge (SSE) and connecting to the public cloud.
