Heavy Networking

Today's Heavy Networking explores a partnership between Juniper Networks and Anuta Networks to bring low-code network automation to service providers and enterprises. In this sponsored show, we'll dive into how Anuta's ATOM platform integrates with Juniper's NorthStar SDN controller and HealthBot diagnostic software to automate and orchestrate common networking tasks. Our guests are Peter Weinberger, Principal Product Manager at Juniper Networks; and Kiran Sirupa, Head of Marketing at Anuta Networks.

On today's Heavy Networking episode, sponsored by Cisco, we discuss reasons why automation isn't more pervasive, particularly in networking, and look at complications such as source of truth, getting state information, the need for orchestration, and user trust. Our guests are Omar Sultan, Leader, Product Management at Cisco; and Kevin Corbin, Sr. Solutions Engineer at HashiCorp.

Take a Network Break! F5 patches a severe vulnerability in its Big-IP ADC, Palo Alto Networks also fixes a critical PAN-OS flaw, and VMware acquires Datrium for SaaS-based disaster recovery.

Three Republican US Senators have proposed a bill that would compel service providers and device makers to assist law enforcement in decrypting data, Silver Peak and Kentik partner on network visibility, Amazon Web Services launches the Aerospace and Satellite Solutions business unit, and Apple continues to stake out privacy as a competitive differentiator.

Today's Heavy Networking explores ideas for designing a new networking certification program built around a network design challenge that focuses on broad, systems-oriented knowledge. The goal isn't to replace current certifications, but to create an option that emphasizes deep knowledge of protocols and networking concepts. Our guests are Russ White and Scott Morris.

In today’s sponsored Heavy Networking podcast we talk to Telia Carrier. Telia runs its own global IP backbone, and as the public Internet becomes the de facto enterprise WAN, your choice of carrier becomes critical. Our guest is Mattias Fridström, Vice President & Chief Evangelist at Telia Carrier. We discuss why enterprises should consider Telia services including DCI, cloud connections, and SD-WAN.

Some of our favorite Heavy Networking discussions are with folks deep in the hot aisle making technology work. No slide decks, just engineers doing the thing. How did it go? What do you wish you had done differently? What worked out well? We have one of these chats today with Jamie Hughes, Infrastructure Architect at Terracon. He's rolled out many complex network changes with Gluware's network automation platform.

Today on Heavy Networking we cover network modeling using the Python Network Traffic Modeler, or pyNTM, an open-source tool. Creator Tim Fiola explains what network modeling is and how you can use this tool to help you make WAN design decisions and avoid costly mistakes.

Today's Heavy Networking podcast focuses on a real-world SD-WAN deployment with OneOncology. The organization deployed an SD-WAN solution from Silver Peak, our sponsor for today's podcast, to securely segment and prioritize electronic medical records over other WAN traffic, get better service quality for critical voice and video applications, and ensure the WAN was highly available. Our guests are Robert Holloway, Infrastructure Manager at OneOncology; and Damon Ennis, SVP of Products at Silver Peak.
