Why Read This Brief
The December 12, 2011, "Virtual Network Infrastructure" Forrester report provided enterprise infrastructure and operations (I&O) professionals with a network framework to support emerging technology initiatives and tomorrow's business technology (BT) agenda. Unlike past network principles, VNI architecture highlights the need to leverage physical and virtual network components and act as a vertically integrated layer 2 to layer 7 set of services dispersed throughout the infrastructure, and creates a fabric of horizontally interconnected components throughout the enterprise. With the release of the 7000 series of Aruba Cloud Services Controllers, Aruba Networks responds to customer demand for solutions to fulfill this VNI architecture. In this quick take, we provide an overview of this new product and how it enables networking teams to build out their VNI architecture, and highlight other options available in the market.
