Network architectures are subject to a complete renewal, which was initiated by the advent of Software-Defined Networking (SDN). In addition to the creation of new options, such as the reconstruction of data paths in seconds due to full automation, particularly the operation of an enterprise network is to be pushed here in the direction of a higher efficiency and flexibility. This trend already affects the design concepts of WAN connections. In addition to the very reliable MPLS-VPNs, cost-effective Internet accesses are available as WAN connections. In order to use both optimally in terms of the QoS demands of the applications, the Hybrid WAN concept was developed as an interim step in the direction of the Software-Defined WAN. Here, the data traffic is controlled by means of controller functions distributed in the network, while central control plane servers are used for this purpose in the SD-WAN.

Classroom training
- Do you prefer the classic training method? A course in one of our Training Centers, with a competent trainer and the direct exchange between all course participants? Then you should book one of our classroom training dates!
-
Hybrid training
- Hybrid training means that online participants can additionally attend a classroom course. The dynamics of a real seminar are maintained, and the online participants are able to benefit from that. Online participants of a hybrid course use a collaboration platform, such as WebEx Training Center or Saba Meeting. To do this, a PC with browser and Internet access is required, as well as a headset and ideally a Web cam. In the seminar room, we use specially developed and customized audio- and video-technologies. This makes sure that the communication between all persons involved works in a convenient and fault-free way.
