Acceleration to the Enterprise Cloud
The unprecedented global pandemic has fundamentally altered the pace at which enterprises are implementing digital transformation strategies. The deconstruction of private data centers and the acceleration of enterprise cloud adoption are direct results of adapting to changed behavior with regard to mobility, remote work adoption, customers’ changing product needs, and a rapidly changing supply chain.

Enterprise IT are turning to EVPN-VXLAN to modernize their data center and campus networks. It is built on the scale and stability of a layer 3 routed infrastructure with a VXLAN-based layer 2 overlay enabling support for legacy applications as well as modern, distributed applications. EVPN-VXLAN can bring a lot of complexity to the design and implementation with underlay, overlay and per-tenant configurations. Gluware Intelligent Network Automation enables customers to automate new greenfield deployments as well as complex brownfield requirements highlighted by a customer use-case in this session. Gluware supports multi-vendor standards-based leaf-level routing as well as the Juniper Networks specific spine-level CRB (Centrally-routed bridging) highlighted in the customer example.
