As IT organizations seek to expand the reach of their network to accommodate for their decentralized environments, many consider adopting fabric models supported by BGP EVPN. At these scales, however, organizations need to be able to automate processes in the network to avoid logging long hours of manual management tasks.
Join our panel of delegates as they sit with members of the Pluribus Networks team to discuss how their products help simplify the management and orchestration of network fabrics. This Tech Field Day Showcase is sponsored by Pluribus Networks.
