Heavy Networking 653: Design, Deploy, And Operate With Nokia Data Center Fabric Solution (Sponsored)

Today on Heavy Networking we’re talking data center operations and automation. Data centers aren’t immune from the pressures being felt across the IT organization: things like enabling new applications and services more quickly, getting better visibility to monitor performance and speed up troubleshooting, and tying into new capabilities that come from automation, APIs, containers, and microservices.

Today’s sponsor, Nokia, has been thinking about these pressures, and is here to talk about its fabric-based approach to the data center. That approach includes its SR Linux network OS, its Fabric Services System intent-based platform, its NetOps Development Kit, or NDK, and how all this ties together to address your operational life cycle across Day zero, Day 1, Day Two, and beyond.

We talk with guest Bruce Wallis, Senior Director of Product Management, on how all this comes together, get real-world customer examples of how Nokia’s portfolio enables automation and orchestration, and look at the future of data center operations driven by containers and microservices.
