Virtual Network Functions in VPC and Integration With Event Notifications in IBM Cloud

Dzone - DevOps

Previously, proprietary hardware performed functions like routers, firewalls, load balancers, etc. In IBM Cloud, we have proprietary hardware like the FortiGate firewall that resides inside IBM Cloud data centers today. What Are Virtual Network Functions (VNFs)?

Optimizing Network Stability and Reliability Through Data-Driven Strategies

Kentik

We believe a data-driven approach to network operations is the key to maintaining the mechanism that delivers applications from data centers, public clouds, and containerized architectures to actual human beings. Ultimately, we’re solving a network operations problem using a data-driven approach. More data!

Azure VMware Solution: Connectivity (Part 1)

Perficient

Since AVS supports both, the gateway can be deployed in either a Hub & Spoke topology or Virtual WAN. Scale units are used instead of a specific SKU when creating a gateway within Virtual WAN. Figure 1 includes a sample architecture using Virtual WAN. Figure 1: Connectivity into an Azure Virtual WAN.

Using Device Telemetry to Answer Questions About Your Network Health

Kentik

With so many network boundaries being navigated (application, service, cloud providers, subnets, SD-WANs , etc.), Your switches, servers, transits, gateways, load balancers, and more are all capturing critical information about their resource utilization and traffic characteristics. What is device telemetry?
