WHITEPAPER

Direct Interconnect Network Security: Improving Security in Computing Clusters

Find out why switchless fabrics are inherently more secure than traditional networks.

Learn how by removing switches, direct-interconnect networks reduce the risk, cost, and administrative burden inherent in spine-and-leaf, switch-based architecture.

In this white paper, you'll learn about:
  • How switch-based networks offer bad actors multiple attack surfaces to exploit
  • By eliminating switches, direct-interconnect networks inherently reduce the number of attack surfaces
  • Direct-interconnect networks also lower the cost and complexity of maintaining the assurance of local computing resources
  • By eliminating risks in the local network, more resources can be dedicated to host security

By reducing the attack surface of local area networks by approximately 87%, the Rockport fabric reduces the cost and complexity of maintaining the assurance of local computing resources and clusters.
