While data center networking has evolved over the past decade to address the volume and velocity of emerging application architectures, security and services architectures have not kept up with the explosion of East/West traffic. These services have all been different appliances or VMs bolted onto the network, leading to many challenges for IT teams including complexity, different vendors to manage, and network chokepoints. With a new category of data center switches powered by embedded DPU technology, we can run stateful services such as firewall, telemetry, and encryption directly on the switches themselves. With these stateful services delivered at wire-rate on every port, we can solve some of the biggest challenges with East/West traffic such a scale, performance, micro-segmentation, visibility, and automation.
