Abstract

The traditional data center is dead, long live the new data center. The Roman Empire lasted for about 500 years, from 27BCE to 476CE, reaching its peak around 120CE. Despite all of the contributions of the Roman Empire, plumbing, roads, judicial system, just to name a few; it's fall was inevitable, mainly due to becoming too large to operate centrally with any type of efficiency and security. The traditional data center is a few years past 120CE as compared to the Roman Empire, not unlike the Roman Empire the traditional data center is failing because of loss of centralized control. The traditional data center is dead, long live SASE and ZTNA. Join us to explore the decline of the traditional data center, the rise of more agile architectures and learn a few random facts about the Roman Empire, as we discuss the decentralized new "data center" by implementing the concepts of SASE (Secure Access Service Edge) and ZTNA (Zero Trust Network Access).
