Solution BriefSoftware Defined Networking
Every organization needs a solid business continuity strategy including a backup strategy and a tested disaster recovery plan. Both of these separate strategies should be specifically designed to meet your company’s goals. Leanr about WEI’s approach and the Veeam Availability Suite.
High performance, high capacity firewall technologies offer the scalability, flexibility and protection that you need to prevent intrusions and malware while allowing your network optimum performance. It’s vital to explore the solutions available for the best possible network defense.
Current network and security solutions are rigid, complex and often vendorspecific. This creates a costly barrier to realizing the full agility of the software-defined data center. In the current operational model, network provisioning is slow and workload placement and mobility is limited by physical topology and manual provisioning. Limitations of physical networking and security tie an increasingly dynamic virtual world back to inflexible, dedicated hardware, creating artificial barriers to optimizing network architecture and capacity utilization. Manual provisioning and fragmented management interfaces reduce efficiency and limit the ability of enterprises to rapidly deploy, move, scale and protect applications and data to meet business demands.
Employees have new, more mobile options to keep them productive from wherever they are. But, how does a company embrace users’ mobile access from multiple devices without compromising its own enterprise security and data management policies?
One answer: Use WEI services to help you. With WEI, you can strike the right balance of end-user freedom with enterprise-level protection.
The average cost of a corporate security breach is estimated at $3.5 million USD and is rising at 15% year over year. Intrusions, malware/botnets and malicious applications collectively comprise a massive risk to your enterprise network. These attack mechanisms can give attackers access to your most sensitive files and database information. WEI mitigates these risks by providing award-winning content security and is c
Broad adoption of “the cloud” is driving realization that the traditional management tools and processes do not meet the demands of the modern data center. These tools are siloed, complex, and reactive. They do not provide the necessary automation and operational and business insights that IT needs to keep pace with changing business requirements. Increasingly, IT leaders are looking for a single management stack that works across physical components, multiple hypervisors and private and public cloud environments, as well as traditional and modern application architectures. They need a solution that delivers on the agility promise of the cloud while still maintaining control.
Extracting game-changing significance from mountains of data takes more than just the right Big Data or analytics software. It also takes the right underlying “engine” to fuel your organization’s on-going insight.
By “engine” we refer to the back-end infrastructure required to deliver the best performance, low latency, high availability and security required by your Big Data platform. This can involve the right mix of software, compute clusters, networking, storage, and even turn-key appliances.
These moving parts must work together in harmony to help you meet your intended business outcomes. Regardless of the platform you use or the industry you’re in, one key to success with Big Data and analytics is an investment in a purpose-built infrastructure that’s carefully tuned for the best time-to-value. Getting the back-end infrastructure right is crucial whether your plans include leading analytics platforms like Pivotal, Hortonworks or some other Hadoop platform.
It’s just as critical if your industry is retail, healthcare, financial services or manufacturing. Why leave these critical, back-end details to chance? When it comes to doing Big Data and analytics right, you can rely on WEI technical experts to assess, advise, design, build and implement best-of-breed, back-end infrastructures that have been custom-fit to your needs
The transition from physical servers to Virtual Infrastructures changed the face of the data center as we knew it. Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) enabled consistency, efficiency, and lifecycle management of our data centers over the past few years. Now, a Software Defined Data Center (SDDC) can further simplify, not only how we choose the hardware that runs in our data centers, but how we develop strategies for managing our IT infrastructures. SDDCs go beyond traditional abstraction above core hardware assets and establish a single toolkit that also encompasses hybrid clouds. And SDDC is a data center where all of the infrastructure is visualized and turned into a single shared resource pool, managed by software. Think of it this way: Abstracted Intelligence, Pooled Resources, Automated Operations.
Flexibility. Agility. Consistency. Cost savings. Dynamic scaling. And, most of all, happy customers.
These are some of the attributes often associated with successful cloud architectures. They are also attributes of IT departments who have successfully made the transition to an IT as a Service (ITaaS) model.
Many organizations are moving forward with plans for new cloud paradigms along with their own efforts to embrace an ITaaS transformation. But, there remain many nuances to wade through and just as many choices when it comes to successfully building, implementing or supporting cloud architectures in a cost effective way.
Some organizations may favor managing their own, internal private cloud, but remain unclear about how best to get there. Or, they might be struggling with more advanced areas like cloud orchestration and the development of custom, IT self-service catalogs.
Others might prefer to embrace public cloud services within their own “cloud-first” philosophy, but are struggling with which cloud vendor to choose or the type of on-going service monitoring required.
Still, others might be planning to implement a hybrid cloud mix of services between both private and public models, but are not quite sure what steps to take in order to make it all work together.

The changes going on in the networking world are impossible to ignore: the move toward new technologies like cloud computing and virtualization has great potential for IT as a whole, but has also exposed traditional slowmoving networks as a major bottleneck standing in the way of getting the best results from these new technologies.
Trying to enable tomorrow’s technology using yesterday’s networking infrastructure has created a lot of stress for IT administrators, who are finding it increasingly difficult to keep up with the high costs and inherent complexity found in traditional network environments. Clearly, there has to be a better way to move forward.
There is, and it’s called software defined networking (SDN). With SDN, IT teams get a smarter way to manage their networks, helping them address the issues of cost, complexity and performance that are so pressing today. In this document, we’ll provide a brief overview of software defined networking, why you need it, and how WEI can help to get you started.

Are you challenged with the prospect of assembling the right mix of people, processes, and tools to support your IT infrastructure and end users 24/7/365? Do your attempts to provide a best practices-based IT environment take you away from your core business? You are not alone. It takes a highly skilled team that has expertise in managing these environments day in and day out to provide the proactive support model necessary to stay ahead of the demands of the modern workplace.
Identifying what your organization aspires to be is one challenge but knowing which steps to take, in what order, is entirely different. That is what makes entrusting an experienced partner to achieve meaningful technology transformation so important. Executing this journey in the right order helps to avoid costly mistakes as it can ultimately elevate operations and efficiencies.
While many of today’s cybersecurity services are primarily focused on perimeter security, there is a growing need for advanced solutions powered by artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), and automation.
