Heavy Networking 635: Unified Network Fabrics With Juniper Apstra (Sponsored)

Data center networking has become more complex in the last few years as the industry has converged on VXLAN overlays on leaf/spine topologies. In simplistic terms, instead of one network with VLANs and routing, we have dozens of virtual networks each with separate routing policies and very different security postures. And there is a pressing need to integrate the operation of VMs and containers to reduce the operational costs and improve the effectiveness of helpdesk work. Juniper Apstra was one of the first companies to identify that operating the data center network was a key design factor. In today’s sponsored show we are talking to Mansour Karam, VP of Product Management at Juniper, about how Apstra delivers on unified data center operations.
