Join Carolina Advanced Digital and HP engineering teams to discuss the latest networking technologies announced at Interop, including the HP 5400R with new v3 modules and OpenFlow support for SDN, HP’s 6th generation ASIC, and Smart Rate multi-gig ports for 802.11ac Wave 2 wireless support.

Technical Topics Covered
– Network Visualizer SDN app- Integrates with AD to speed up troubleshooting and eliminate the need for mac-IP user correlation. Plus updates to Network Protection and Network Optimizer SDN apps.

– New 6th Gen ASIC- Provides 4x better throughput and 3x lower latency compared to the Cisco Catalyst 4507R-E.

– HP 5400R Chassis- overview of the new 5400R, offering the redundancy of the 8200 for the price of 5400. Overview of interoperability, migration path and enhancements.

– Smart Rate multi-gigabit ports- Provide 1Gbps, 2.5Gbps, 5Gbps and 10Gbps on a single wired interface for enhanced 802.11ac Wave 2 wireless support.

– 5400 v3 modules- New 40GbE and QSFP support, MACsec for link encryption, enhanced QoS, DLDP, OpenFlow enhancements and Distributed Trunking enhancements. Overview of interoperability and performance upgrades.

Hospitals and Health Care Systems continue to see a rise in sophisticated cyber-attacks and compromised health records are becoming increasingly valuable to cyber-criminals. In fact, while the average cost of a breached credit card on the Dark Web is only about $2, the average cost of a stolen health record now exceeds $350.

Healthcare now tops the list of the most targeted industries and news stories of high-profile healthcare breaches are becoming more common. Now more than ever, deploying a unified threat prevention, detection, and response solution is critical for healthcare organizations as they transform how they store, access, and protect health records.

Join Carolina Advanced Digital and SentinelOne for a tailored webinar to discuss how SentinelOne’s next-gen suite of automated Endpoint Protection solutions are helping healthcare organizations defend against increasing and emerging risks to sensitive patient data.
After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the webinar.

Join us for the first of our Thursday Tech Talk series with the Carolina Advanced Digital crew. In this episode, we have a friend from Mist joining us to talk about returning safely to work with contact and proximity tracing inside the organization, how it’s different than the public-private app partnerships, and then we’ll hop over to a demo of Mist’s AI-based Wi-Fi, show you what’s going on in our office, and offer a sneak peek at some upcoming news.

From the team that’s brought you successful NAC implementations for over 15 years! Join us for the second Tech Talk episode with the Carolina Advanced Digital crew. In this episode, Mark and Jen (and Ron if we can coax him) will cover:

• a vendor-neutral look at planning for NAC
• best and common practices plus “gotchas”
• phased approaches for implementing NAC
• vendor comparisons
• a short intro to FortiNAC including a demo
• updates on the product roadmap (at least whatever we can share that’s not NDA).

In future Tech Talks we’ll be covering Aruba’s ClearPass, and vendor-neutral topics of dynamic segmentation and Zero Trust Network architectures. This first NAC session will lay some groundwork for later.

In our third shorter episode, we’ll take a vendor-neutral look at the Wi-Fi technology and trends shaping today and tomorrow. Join Shital and Jen for the latest trends in WiFi 6 (802.11ax), WiFi 6e, cloud-managed solutions, security integrations, CBRS, and more. We’ll talk about what’s real, what’s hype, and how to start planning for what’s on the horizon. Since it’s a shorter session we’ll try to manage Q&A throughout. Hosted by Jennifer Minella.

• 802.11ax/Wi-Fi 6, features and how/when to upgrade
• Update on wired needs for Wi-Fi
• New security standards, WPA3, Open Enhanced, and SAE
• On the horizon Wi-Fi 6e and what you should know
• Non-Wi-Fi wireless, CBRS and Private LTE moving in
• The real scoop on BLE, Location Services, and Contact/Proximity Tracing
• Today’s hot topic- MAC randomization, impact on guest portals, BYOD, and NAC; what behavior OS’s have, and how to work around it
• COVID and Wi-Fi, supporting expansions, pop-ups and more
• What’s new from our partners- Aruba’s announcements of AOS 10, Fortinet and the future of legacy Meru controllers, what’s cooking at Mist

Yes, you read correctly, join Carolina Advanced Digital and SentinelOne and get a $50 Amazon card just for listening in. We are partnering with SentinelOne to talk about why legacy anti-virus consistently fails to recognize these new threats, and how next-gen antivirus is designed to future proof your security investment. Only a select group of our customers are invited, so you will have an opportunity to talk with others about pain points and ask our expert the tough questions. Lucky you!

Hurry, spots are limited and registration link is provided by invitation only or upon request from qualifying organizations.

Join Tech Talk episode 4 with the Carolina Advanced Digital crew. In this episode, Jen along with Dan and Mark (or whoever she can grab) will take a look back at the chaos of COVID-19 as organizations scrambled to work through remote access and the cleanup we need to do afterwards. Hosted by Jennifer Minella.
