Network Resilience Boot Camp

June 29, 2023
11:00 AM – 5:00 PM ET

In Today’s Digital Age, High Availability is Critical

Business cannot be interrupted, even for a few seconds. Employees, users, and customers will not tolerate even small hiccups in service. As such, network resilience, which is the ability of a network or infrastructure to maintain service levels of critical applications, services, and processes, is essential for an enterprise’s success.
This event will explore why network resilience is so critical today. It will also look at the technologies and tools that can help ensure resiliency, the associated staffing and cost issues, and other factors.

Topics Include:
How to scale and meet rapid or unpredictable operational demands
What tools can help identify vulnerabilities and integrate into development workflows
Why the future of constant availability demands new resilience technologies

Failure Simulations: Finding the Chaos Demon Lurking in Your System

Sponsored by: Panduit
Presented by: Carrie Goetz
Moderated by: Bonnie D. Graham

The devil is certainly in the details, but more often the devil is a detail you never would have predicted. The weakest link in a complex architecture might be one you know about but more likely, it was hiding in plain sight.

In this virtual event, we’ll highlight adaptive systems needed in modern hybrid architectures, such as Netflix’s resiliency tools like its Chaos Monkey, which unleashes failures intentionally to test and track the many unanticipated consequences of those failures.

Topics Include:

  • How Chaos Monkey deploys its software to randomly terminate instances in production to ensure engineers implement their solutions to be resilient to instance failures
  • What characteristics define adaptive systems
  • Why resilience is enabled by a high degree of adaptive capacity, especially under stress

Modern Infrastructure Requires New Network Resiliency Thinking

Presented by: Network Computing
Moderated by: Bonnie D. Graham
Panelists: Tia Hopkins

Traditional business continuity and recovery methods and strategies of old are not sufficient for modern business. The move to more distributed enterprises, the adoption of cloud, and digital transformation all add complexity and make resiliency more challenging to achieve. The underlying infrastructure upon which all applications and services are delivered must be robust.

This keynote will discuss why businesses today must re-examine their network resiliency strategies and implement new approaches.

Topics Include:

  • How to scale and meet rapid or unpredictable operational demands
  • What tools can help identify vulnerabilities and integrate into development workflows
  • Why the future of constant availability demands new resilience technologies

Enabling Network Resilience: Essential Tools and Technologies

Sponsored by: Google
Presented by: Adam Gordon
Moderated by: Bonnie D. Graham

Network resilience often requires the use of new tools and technologies. Many enterprises may not have the internal expertise to address modern needs. This session will discuss the types of technology that can help improve network resilience and the skills organizations need to use those technologies.

Predicting and Surviving Correlated Failures Redundancy

Presented by: Data Center Knowledge
Moderated by: Bonnie D. Graham
Panelists: Henry SOW, Frank Ohlhorst, Stephen Lawton

We’ll say it again – redundancy. From PoPs to physical components to staffing, redundancy is often conflated as the end of resiliency. But even all the tripling and quadrupling in the world isn’t going to save your bacon when components shut down and create cascading failures. That’s where things get sticky, and where redundancy alone won’t save you.

Panel Discussion

Security Benefits of Improving Network Resiliency

Sponsored by: Absolute Software
Moderated by: Bonnie D. Graham
Panelists: Sherelle Moore, Ariel Robinson, Steve Fallin

The best practices and the use of new technologies that enhance and enable network resiliency also help improve security. This session will examine the security implications of implementing a network resiliency improvement strategy.
