Building a Future-Proof Cloud Infrastructure

By moving service modules closer to applications, Distributed Services (DS) Platforms will future-proof cloud architectures - improving performance, responsiveness, observability, and troubleshooting. Network pioneer Silvano Gai demonstrates DS Platforms' remarkable capabilities and guides you through implementing them in diverse hardware.

Focusing on business benefits throughout, Gai shows how to provide essential shared services such as segment routing, NAT, firewall, micro-segmentation, load balancing, SSL/TLS termination, VPNs, RDMA, and storage - including storage compression and encryption. He also compares three leading hardware-based approaches - Sea of Processors, FPGAs, and ASICs - preparing you to evaluate solutions, ask the right questions, and plan strategies for your environment.
