The industry is evolving rapidly, with technology advancing at an unprecedented rate to keep up with new trends. Customers are transitioning from fully private Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) Networks to entirely Software Defined Wide Area Networks (SD-WAN), leveraging the Internet extensively—a stark contrast to the approach taken a decade ago. Additionally, many customers are changing their trust model and moving towards Zero-Trust Architectures, which operate on the principle that no one, whether external or internal, is trusted by default and continuous monitoring is employed to scrutinise their behaviour.

Using the AWS console to manage cloud infrastructure can be convenient and user-friendly, especially for beginners or small projects. Yet, it also carries inherent challenges when used at scale. In this post, we will dive deep into how ControlMonkey can assist you with transitioning manually-created environments to an Infrastructure as Code approach, integrating seamlessly with GitOps and Hashicorp Terraform.

As organizations move to the cloud, securing workloads, applications, and data becomes critical. This post discusses using Zscaler Zero Trust Exchange to provide comprehensive cloud security. Key security capabilities highlighted include SSL inspection, data loss prevention, and URL filtering policies tailored for cloud workloads. The post provides guidance on design considerations and implementing baseline security policies within the Zscaler platform.

As organizations continue to expand their cloud infrastructure, they have ongoing requirements to connect their AWS environments to other cloud providers. However, connecting different cloud networks seamlessly and securely can be a challenge due to varying networking architectures, security models, and operational tools. Learn how Aviatrix Systems simplifies this process and enables businesses to fully leverage AWS while easily connecting to other cloud providers.

AWS provides an extensive suite of networking services to simplify the delivery of customer connectivity requirements, and integrating Fortinet SD-WAN with AWS networking services provides flexible, secure, and scalable connectivity to accelerate digital transformation. For existing Fortinet customers, this reduces the time-to-value by leveraging existing infrastructure. Learn how to establish secure, private connectivity to AWS with Fortinet SD-WAN, and review some of the use cases accelerated by this architecture.

As customers adopt VMware Cloud on AWS, it’s important to provide scalable and reliable hybrid connectivity to help integrate SDDCs with on-premises and cloud-native services. VMware Cloud on AWS customers have additional network security requirements including network encryption, firewall integration, and traffic segmentation. Learn about hybrid network design patterns and considerations, and go through various network architecture design options and use cases addressing customer requirements.

Aruba SD-Branch treats public hosted cloud environments as a managed node in the SD-WAN overlay network. At the same time, AWS Transit Gateway simplifies the connectivity across multiple VPCs, putting an end to complex peering relationships. With the introduction of AWS Transit Gateway Connect, there’s now a native way to connect the SD-WAN and VPC environments. Explore all of the technical details involved in integrating the Aruba SD-Branch solution with AWS Transit Gateway Connect.

As customers continually move towards hybrid cloud architectures, it has become increasingly important to address network security requirements for having a centralized security inspection solution between VMware Cloud on AWS and the native AWS environment, on-premises data centers, and the internet. Through this post, learn how to integrate preferred third-party firewall solutions with VMware Cloud on AWS, by leveraging the VMware Transit Connect feature.

When moving workloads to AWS, one of the most important considerations is connectivity. With the goal of delivering the best application experience, AWS and Citrix collaborate on many different solutions. Citrix SD-WAN provides a unique combination of proactive application traffic management, end to end. Learn how to architect a scalable SD-WAN solution with the new AWS Transit Gateway Connect attachment and streamline the deployment with Citrix SD-WAN Orchestrator.

Learn how to simplify global network architecture using AWS Transit Gateway with Aruba SD-WAN branch-to-cloud connectivity, and explore how Aruba’s customers have leveraged the benefits of AWS Transit Gateway at a global scale. Aruba, a subsidiary of Hewlett Packard Enterprise, is a global leader in secure, intelligent edge-to-cloud networking solutions that uses a cloud-native approach to help customers with all aspects of wired, wireless LAN, and wide area networking (WAN).
