Modern applications allow organizations to rapidly deliver new digital experiences to their customers.
This has led to the rise of containers, Kubernetes and CI/CD pipelines, but, without the right solutions and strategy in place, it can be challenging to transform legacy applications and infrastructure.
VMware, long at the heart of Infrastructure as a Service strategies for both Private and Hybrid Clouds, paves a way forward for both application developers and IT services providers with VMware Tanzu.
In this episode of World Wide Technology’s TEC37 series on Data Center, you’ll hear WWT experts Dana Callear, Jim Hopkins and Sean Hicks discuss the relevance of containers and container platforms to the application developers tasked with the digital transformations of their organizations, and how the many facets of VMware Tanzu fill the strategic gaps in both giving developers the tools they want as well as modernizing the infrastructure services they require.

We’re at the dawn of a new breed of applications that will unlock the potential of Industry 4.0 —a fourth industrial revolution that will make the enterprise more agile, aware, efficient, intelligent, safe and sustainable.
Industry 4.0 is enabled by critical technologies that are each reaching peak maturity at the same time. When these technologies work cohesively and are supported by modern connectivity like private LTE and 5G, massive companies can move at the speed of a startup while maintaining their brute market strength while meeting their internal needs.
In this new episode of World Wide Technology’s TEC 37 series on Carrier Networking, host Robb Boyd talks to WWT’s Dan Graham, Don Rogers and Jason Craig to discuss Industry 4.0, how it works, who can piece it together and how it paves the way for a wave of new Fortune 500 companies.

COVID took most organizations by surprise. Companies that had previously ignored cloud technology and strategy became increasingly disrupted.
Even companies in the process of digital transformation — while better positioned than most — were unprepared for the magnitude of the challenge.
As organizations increasingly accept that COVID is a longer-term challenge, they also have a chance to appreciate the pandemic’s silver lining: enabling “work from anywhere” and accelerating technology modernization across all parts of the business — even those areas previously not considered.
In this new TEC37 episode, WWT experts Darren Roback and Michael Johnson discuss how many customers had to pause certain initiatives, reappropriate budgets to meet changing demands, and scramble to enable services to maintain even minimum levels of business operations.

In the first episode of World Wide Technology’s TEC37 Networking Series, host Robb Boyd and WWT’s Syed Jafri and Chandler Heath discuss the role of Private LTE networks.
These networks will help enterprises increase in-building capacity, provide a better end user experience and enhance the capabilities for enterprise level applications of Internet of things, while also providing a platform for the broader adoption of 5G.
Enterprises undergoing digital transformation can use Private LTE on the new CBRS band to improve in-building connectivity complementing WiFi6.
This high-speed, low-latency local area network allows them to connect all devices and “things” (robots, drones, sensors, machinery, buildings), automate operations, gain insights from customers and innovate new business models that position them to lead the digital economy.
In this episode Syed and Chandler will introduce you to the basics, discuss enterprise use cases that are most optimal for private LTE, how service providers can leverage their experience and assets to deliver seamless end-to-end mobility and how enterprises can leverage private LTE to grow their infrastructure offerings and foster innovation.
Since Gartner introduced the term Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) in 2019, technology leaders have been trying to figure out what this merging of network and security architectures means for their organizations.
In this episode of TEC37, we dig into the evolution of SASE, how it works and some considerations when evaluating SASE solutions.
Join host Robb Boyd as he speaks with WWT’s Mike Schmidt, Security Architect; Michael Pfeiffer, Cloud Networking Architect; and Jordan Martin, Networking Architect.
They’ll discuss how the worlds of networking and security have collided to meet the technology needs of today’s large organizations.

Infrastructure automation is your robot army, waiting for your orders! Adding automation to your IT operations skillset is absolutely doable, even though it might sound intimidating.
Where do you start?
What should you learn?
What are the most important things to know?
On this new episode from World Wide Technology’s (WWT) TEC37 series, host Robb Boyd and our expert panel from WWT will answer these questions and more, so you have the tools you need to make your automation robots come to life.

Top Infrastructure Automation Architecture Considerations
Join host Robb Boyd and a cross-architecture panel of WWT thought leaders from Security, Digital Strategy and Digital Workspace as they introduce the Hybrid Work spectrum, and help organizations better understand both the risks and benefits that long-term remote working presents.
“Hybrid Work” as a term has taken on new meaning since the pandemic. Hybrid work refers to organizations bringing some workers back to the physical company workplace while other worker groups remain working from home, as well as giving workers the choice to alternate between working at a company site and working remotely.
In this new TEC37 episode from World Wide Technology (WWT), we introduce the hybrid work spectrum as a framework to help IT leaders prioritize the competing demands of optimizing for remote work and being ready for returning workers.
