Download the paper and learn how you can transition to a fourth generation data center fabric:
• Cloud-centric operational model
• Fabric and infrastructure service unification
• Fully distributed services across all workloads
• Simplified service insertion
• Comprehensive automation and visibility
Next-generation data center fabrics allow organizations to move away from legacy architectures and compete on the same level as hyperscalers by consolidating stateful functions to the entire fabric, providing a wide variety of infrastructure services in a new and integrated manner.
This requires a shift from thinking of the fabric as just a segmentation and connectivity solution, to one that supports all infrastructure services allowed for workload scale.
Read this paper that examines five critical principles to consider when designing a next-gen data center:
• Modernize with DPU-enabled switches
• Transition to a 4th-gen distributed services architecture
• Extend Zero Trust closer to applications
• Blend network and security AIOps
• Leverage the edge, colocation, and IaaS
This ebook offers insights and considerations, and outlines how the IBM Security Guardium data protection platform can help.
