Watch Visualyze 2021 On-Demand

The inside-out enterprise remains in flux, and the world of hybrid cloud is the new normal. Comprehensive infrastructure visibility is no longer just an IT goal; it’s now mission-critical to every organization’s digitization journey. You navigated your organization’s success through pandemic-caused challenges —now it’s time to put yourself in the driver’s seat for the next segment of the journey.

The only guarantee we have about the future is that change is coming, and change is synonymous with risk. Thus, we have to look at new paradigms to address recovery and resiliency that do not require dependency on armies of people. In his keynote, Shehzad Merchant, Chief Technology Officer at Gigamon, will share one such paradigm that is distributed, immutable, and ephemeral. Plus, he will show how the DevOps model compares to traditional world of IT operations and security.

The truism that you can't secure what you can't see is more relevant now than ever. With the ever-growing adoption of encrypted traffic and distributed infrastructure, it's getting more and more difficult to see all traffic. But it doesn't have to be that way — if you take action.

NDRs have become the critical tool of choice at mature SOCs, along with EDRs and SIEMs (forming the SOC visibility triad). But not all NDRs are delivered the same. See how organizations are leveraging Guided-SaaS NDRs to close the SOC visibility gap, remove burdensome SOC distractions, and provide expert advisory guidance when it counts to alleviate SOC analysts burnout.

While the move to cloud computing is portrayed as being an imperative for digital transformation, the journey to the cloud, whether for entire datacenters or individual workload migrations, is complex and fraught with risk. However, it is a journey that many organizations have successfully undertaken with all manner of workloads including highly sensitive and complex workloads, and there is now a wealth of knowledge on how to plan and execute these projects. This private one-hour event will focus on the key learnings and best practices to de-risk and manage mission-critical workload migration to the cloud.

• Why do some cloud migration projects fail or under-deliver?
• How do you avoid recreating siloes in the cloud?
• What is the role of private and hyperconverged clouds in the world of the public cloud?
• SaaS, PaaS, IaaS – how do you decide the right approach for a particular application?
• DevOps led migrations – is this a breakthrough approach or an unwarranted risk?

5G is the enabler of new use cases, business models but as well brings new technological complexity. New business opportunities can be unlocked with a smart use of the data where the focus is not just the subscriber's QoE but as well the quality of applications QoA.

Private Clouds are on the ascent. To ensure comprehensive security with superior performance, you need full packet and application visibility. These environments are also very dynamic and complex, so automation is critical to success. In this session, we will demonstrate how Gigamon and Nutanix automatically provision agentless VMs to obtain all traffic. Next, app flows are identified and optimally processed and distributed to the proper tools. Network efficiency rises, user experience is enhanced and over 50% of duplicate or irrelevant traffic can be eliminated — thereby improving tool effectiveness with less scaling.

As adoption of hybrid cloud grows, so does concern about how to secure the diverse and distributed infrastructure. At this session we will discuss the shared responsibility model of security, compliance, and governance and the role of visibility.

What does this really mean, and do you need it?

Digital businesses need secure, high-performing networks more than ever before. It’s an uphill battle when it comes to protecting applications as enterprises migrate from the datacenter to the cloud. And with today’s hybrid cloud architectures, maintaining both a high-performing and secure network requires a broad and deep network centric view across the entire enterprise, which includes inside your fortified perimeters.

Learn how a truly unified network visibility solution, with data from packets, flows, and network device metrics, can collect details with no sampling, all the time. Realize the benefits to NetOps for understanding the impact of network performance on critical business initiatives. And when that inevitable zero-day breach happens, find out how SecOps can identify threats inside the network with access to every network conversation.

The single most significant shift of the 21st Century is well underway – the advent and rise of Digital Business Ecosystems built in the Cloud, These rich and complex Cloud Ecosystems will be at the heart of every major trend in our business, economy, government, and society. Understanding and leveraging this trend will be one of the most challenging and important steps forward in how we build the future of how we live, work, and play.

Cloud-based ecosystems will not only change the way we run today's business but create entirely new business models that we haven't even conceived of yet.

Visibility, which was of extreme importance for traditional networks, is even more critical for cloud environments. From the growing importance of the cloud in creating a foundation for these new business models, to the increasing threat of cyber, to the mind-bending increase in data and the role of Cloud AI, Tom will take us over the digital waterfall to help us navigate the uncharted and tumultuous waters ahead.

How tumultuous? Well, consider that by the end of this century we may well have more bits of data than atoms that make up the Earth!

5G standards were designed with the use of ephemeral key-based encryption.

With the scale of devices, volume of traffic, and virtualization in the 5G core, the ability to gain visibility into the encrypted traffic for effective performance monitoring and security can be quite difficult.

In this session we will explore some of the options for avoiding these challenges.

Due to the scale of 5G core, CUPS architecture, and the number of systems that need to be configured to effectively manage the 5G traffic, using a point-and-click GUI or CLI for initial configuration and ongoing maintenance of the visibility fabric can be very laborious and error prone.

At this session we will dive into the use of YAML and Ansible scripting for automation of these and other tasks.
