Prepare for the future of cloud infrastructure: Distributed Services Platforms

By moving service modules closer to applications, Distributed Services (DS) Platforms will future-proof cloud architectures-improving performance, responsiveness, observability, and troubleshooting. Network pioneer Silvano Gai demonstrates DS Platforms' remarkable capabilities and guides you through implementing them in diverse hardware.

Focusing on business benefits throughout, Gai shows how to provide essential shared services such as segment routing, NAT, firewall, micro-segmentation, load balancing, SSL/TLS termination, VPNs, RDMA, and storage-including storage compression and encryption. He also compares three leading hardware-based approaches-Sea of Processors, FPGAs, and ASICs-preparing you to evaluate solutions, ask the right questions, and plan strategies for your environment.

Understand the business drivers behind DS Platforms, and the value they offer
See how modern network design and virtualization create a foundation for DS Platforms
Achieve unprecedented scale through domain-specific hardware, standardized functionalities, and granular distribution
Compare advantages and disadvantages of each leading hardware approach to DS Platforms
Learn how P4 Domain-Specific Language and architecture enable high-performance, low-power ASICs that are data-plane-programmable at runtime
