Sponsor: Nokia Data Centre Fabric and Automation We’re sponsored today by Nokia and its data center fabric for network automation and orchestration. Nokia’s data center fabric is designed for automation from Day zero design, Day one deployment, and operations for Day Two and beyond. This scalable fabric helps the network team keep pace with the demand for new applications and services, reduce risks with a digital sandbox to test changes against your actual network configuration, and provides insights into visibility and performance with deep telemetry. This fabric comes together with Nokia’s SR-Linux network OS, the intent-based Fabric Services System platform, a digital sandbox, the NetOps Development Kit, or NDK, and more. Get details at nokia.ly/dc-fabric, and listen to Heavy Networking episode 653 to learn about how it all works, and how customers are using Nokia’s data center fabric in production. That’s nokia.ly/dc-fabric and Heavy Networking episode 653.
