Data Center Optimization using Service Redirection and Network Load Balancing

 Watch Webex On-Demand

Deploying network services, i.e. firewalls, intrusion detection systems and TCP optimizers, in data centers can make operations complex. The architecture must be able to scale to support exponential growth in application traffic while keeping operational expense lower and ensure applications remain protected and available. This webinar reviews how the Cisco NX-OS software and Nexus 9000 can seamlessly integrate service nodes in data center and edge deployments and also provide means of selectively redirecting and load-balancing traffic aross these nodes.

Key takeaways:

• What is load balancing and traditional service node insertion solutions
• Cisco’s enhanced policy based redirect and intellignet traffic director to solve load balanceing and service redirection challenges
• How to use the solution to get real world benefits

Learn how service nodes can be inserted in a data center fabric, leveraging the network to load-balance and service chain across service nodes. You can redistribute requests to achieve greater flexibility and keep mission critical processes at maximum performance.
