AWS IaaS Reference Architecture and Use Cases

It is clear that public cloud infrastructure as a service (IaaS) will have many difference from on-premises environment.   Most of the similarity with on-premise infrastructure stops with application, virtual machines and storage and database services. In this “AWS IaaS Reference Architecture and use cases”  blog, lets look at few of the primary foundational design principles

Modern Datacenter Reference Architecture Framework

The digital transformation momentum really reshaping the way the IT infrastructure is built and operated for all the good reasons. Traditionally, there were three main pillars to consider when you build your infrastructure, which is Network, compute, and storage. With the agility and fast IT requirements challenges enforced by public cloud vendors, the organizations are

Architecting Enterprise Connectivity to the Public Clouds

Connecting clouds is vital for organizations because data and applications increasingly reside in a mesh of public and private clouds network. And there are multiple ways to extend an enterprise network to the cloud.  Organizations can interconnect to the cloud by employing an IPsec VPN or by directly extending their private network to a cloud

A Real-world Analysis of ACI Multi-site

Datacenter infrastructure landscape evolving to take various forms and shapes, it is going from a centralized location to co-locations, remote, branch offices, and to the clouds. Clearly, these are sort of influenced by datacenter cost, flexibility, agility and application, and cloud dynamics. Consequently, the multisite solution from Cisco certainly targeting to address some of these

Zero-Trust Security with Micro-Segmentation

Segmentation has been around for a long time there’s nothing new. There’s nothing sexy in it, we been doing segmentation for years. However, it is done specifically for network optimization and network performance, and it’s neither for security nor for compliance. Micro-segmentation however is a concept that is designed and purpose-built for security. In this
