Performance Visibility in the Software-Defined Data Center

View On-Demand

The software-defined data center (SDDC) promises operational efficiency through dynamic workload distribution and network provisioning; in fact, recent research has shown that designing and optimizing your virtual network topology can improve application performance by up to 70%. Visibility is critical in helping validate your topology and align it with your business.

So how do you enable visibility around traffic when you’re not even sure where or how it flows?
This webinar is a must for those moving toward a more agile data center and business ecosystem. In one hour, you will learn:

  • The architecture of the modern software-defined data center

  • Best practices for optimal performance visibility into the virtual network

  • The best ways to troubleshoot SDDC-specific performance problems     

  • How to improve application performance by up to 70%

Given the continued growth of East-West traffic in a SDDC, minimizing delay and avoiding oversubscription “hot spots” take on new urgency in today’s emerging data center networks.
This is a must-attend for those moving toward a more agile data center and business ecosystem.
