The software requires direct hardware access due to its low-level integration with physical resources. A 2024 report from DataCenter Intelligence Group (DCIG) identified VergeOS as one of the top 5 alternatives to VMware. He noted that the moment a virtual datacenter is created, its automatically segmented from others.
The platform provides visibility, control and governance over the network as well as dynamic service insertion, allowing organizations to integrate third-party services like firewalls into their network. The company was founded in 2018 by former Cisco employees who had previously founded SD-WAN vendor Viptella.
In estimating the cost of a large-scale VMware migration , Gartner cautions: VMwares server virtualization platform has become the point of integration for its customers across server, storage and network infrastructure in the datacenter. However, switching to HCI is a capital expense decision.

This offers several benefits, including scalability, flexibility, and reduced hardware costs. billion by 2025. routing, optimization, and bandwidth management) with security functions (e.g.,
Open RAN (O-RAN) O-RAN is a wireless-industry initiative for designing and building 5G radio access networks using software-defined technology and general-purpose, vendor-neutral hardware. Power usage effectiveness (PUE) Power usage effectiveness (PUE) is metric that measures the energy efficiency of a datacenter.
It also delivers security services and solutions – including best-in-class firewalls, endpoint detection and response, and security information and event management – needed to address the most stringent cyber resiliency requirements. We enable them to successfully address these realities head-on.”
These savings were found through decommissioning legacy datacenters, physical equipment, and hardware, including sunsetting legacy DLP tools, SWG technology, firewalls, and related hardware and circuitry.
As a networking and security strategy, zero trust stands in stark contrast to traditional, network-centric, perimeter-based architectures built with firewalls and VPNs, which involve excessive permissions and increase cyber risk. The main point is this: you cannot do zero trust with firewall- and VPN-centric architectures.
That worked when everything lived in the corporate datacenter. Paying a premium to backhaul traffic to a central datacenter made sense when that was where all applications lived. For decades, businesses have relied on MPLS and SD-WAN to connect branch offices and remote workers to critical applications.
New switches and an acquisition On the hardware front, the company added two new switches, the 24-port FortiSwitch Rugged 216F-POE (power over ethernet), which is aimed at supporting high-bandwidth industrial network connections, and the FortiSwitch Rugged 424F-POE, which is aimed at improving connectivity for industrial IoT devices.
This integrated approach saves on hardware and makes it easier for network engineers to correlate packets and analytics. If you want to correlate an event across two datacenters, the time stamp will let you know when things happened and tell you they are related,” Nevo says.

Rodriguez provides the usual “massive growth” numbers that necessitated Expedient’s relatively recent migration to 10 GbE in their datacenter. Rodriguez shares some of the reasons why Expedient felt 10 GbE was the right choice for their datacenter. These tests were 256-bit SSL tests with Open SSL.).
I try to keep the information linked to datacenter technologies like networking, storage, virtualization, and the like, but occasionally other items slip through. Ranga Maddipudi ( @vCloudNetSec on Twitter) has put together two blog posts on vCloud Networking and Security’s App Firewall ( part 1 and part 2 ). Networking.
L’edge computing e il 5G diventano commodity Un recente rapporto di IDC prevede che, quest’anno, la spesa per per l’edge computing – che comprende hardware, software e servizi – registrerà un aumento del 15%, con una cifra che dovrebbe raggiungere i 350 miliardi di dollari entro il 2027.
The ability to virtualize the network devices such as firewalls, IPS and load balancers also means that these once physical devices that have discrete interfaces can be controlled by software. The question is if IT has the ability to implement and support a physical datacenter let alone a Software-Defined DataCenter (SDDC).
