SDxCentral Weekly Wrap Podcast Full Transcript
Today is November 1, 2019, and this is the SDxCentral Weekly Wrap where we cover the week’s top stories on next-generation IT infrastructure.
This episode of the SDxCentral Weekly Wrap is sponsored by Silver Peak.
Cisco’s 2020 Global Networking Trends Report says intent-based networking will be the next big thing in the coming years.
Intent-based networking is the concept of managing a network, end-to-end, on one interface through the use of DevOps and software-defined networking, or SDN.
The idea is that SDN provides a natural, solid foundation for an IT infrastructure evolution where added DevOps capabilities will afford network operators more control over network operations.
Cisco conducted a web-based survey of 505 IT leaders and 1,566 network strategists across 13 countries. It asked about the current state of their networks, their network aspirations over the next two years, and their network operational and talent readiness.
The survey found maximizing business value to be IT’s number 1 priority with 40 percent of respondents naming it their top concern.
While only 28 percent of respondents indicated having implemented SDN or intent-based networking, 78 percent expect their networks to move beyond SDN or intent-based networking within the next two years. Likewise, only 4 percent indicated that their currently deployed networks are intent-based, and 35 percent plan to be within two years.
Of course, Cisco has a vested interested in promoting intent-based networking. The vendor first announced its efforts in July 2017 and has since rolled out these capabilities across its entire networking portfolio.
The next phase of software-defined infrastructure is artificial intelligence- powered hyperconverged infrastructure, according to Hewlett Packard Enterprise.
To this end, the vendor this week started shipping its HCI product SimpliVity with Infosight, its AI management tool.
HPE also added one-click HCI cluster upgrades and integration with its data protection software.
HPE expects these new AI based capabilities to help it gain market share in the hotly contested HCI sector.
Dell EMC, running VMware software, remains the largest HCI supplier with $533.2 million in revenue and a 29.2 percent market share, according to IDC’s latest quarterly report.
