Fourth-generation Data Center Fabrics

Outdated architectures that worked for legacy applications hinder the performance and security of modern applications and are complex, costly, and energy inefficient.

Expand Zero Trust into the data center with consistent policies combined with microsegmentation to reduce the risk associated with east-west traffic.

This ESG whitepaper explains how fourth-generation network fabrics can:

• Achieve greater visibility into east–west traffic patterns of modern applications
• Ensure higher levels of data security with distributed firewalls closer to critical applications
• Extend Zero Trust and microsegmentation closer to critical applications with advanced security services
