Last week on the pod, we shared what network managers need to know about AI and machine learning. This week, we’re back on the AI beat, specifically looking at how it can support corporate network automation.
Per usual, we had a little help. Our guest today is Jamie Pugh, CTO at Globalgig.
Jamie joined the show not only to ponder all things automation but also to discuss enterprise network orchestration in the era of an increasingly complex WAN.
We get into some of the difficulties of monitoring and managing the many elements of the modern WAN that can impact application performance and how Jamie saw the need for an “orchestrator of orchestrators.”
You can catch some highlights below or head right to the bottom to listen to the whole conversation.
Greg Bryan: Jamie, this is TeleGeography Explains the Internet. We always like to make sure that anybody across the industry—or even people who are only adjacent to it—can understand what we’re talking about.
So I thought we’d start the episode with just your sort of basic definition of network orchestration. What does that mean to you at Globalgig?
Jamie Pugh: Yeah, so simply put, network orchestration is ultimately a process.
It’s the process of commanding, controlling, managing all the different network functions, which are deployed across that enterprise network, right? So that’s probably the simplest definition I could say.
