ENTERPRISE CONNECTIVITY:


A DISCUSSION WITH


GIGAOM + GREYMATTER.IO



This insightful discussion is on the Greymatter application networking platform
and the evolution of enterprise connectivity. Panelists included Howard Holton,
CTO of Gigaom, and Jonathan Holmes, CTO of Greymatter.io.

We delved into several crucial topics:

1. Evolutionary Steps from Microservices to Application Networking Adoption:

Howard and Jon discussed the drivers leading enterprises toward microservices
and the service-based architecture, as well as the role of the service mesh in
this transition. They highlighted the typical path companies take when moving
from monolithic systems to application networking.

2. Putting the Service Mesh in Its Place:

We explored the challenges and limitations of service mesh adoption, such as
complexity and configuration sprawl. Jon emphasized that while service meshes
offer significant capabilities, they often require a high level of expertise to
implement and maintain.

3. Introducing Application Networking:

Jon introduced the concept of application networking, emphasizing its role as
the backbone of modern application delivery. He discussed the principal elements
of application networking platforms, highlighting their capacity to streamline
traffic routing, improve scalability, enhance security, and drive cost savings.

4. How Addressing Complexity:

Jon explained how Greymatter addresses complexity management, including tackling
configuration creep through automation, the use of Greymatter Specification
Language (GSL), and various tools that simplify network management and auditing.

5. Unpacking The Service Connectivity Layer:

Howard shed light on the importance of the service connectivity layer (SCL) in
service-to-service communication, its components, and its prevalence in the
market.

6. How the SCL and Application Networking Address Platform Engineering:

Howard discussed the role of platform engineering and whether such platforms are
readily available off the shelf.

7. Addressing the Wider Application Networking Market:

Howard and Jon shared their insights on the market for application networking
platforms like Greymatter, discussing its growth potential and the changing
landscape.

8. How Application Networking Vendors Can Stand Out:

Howard provided insights on how application networking vendors can distinguish
themselves in the market, focusing on the importance of innovation and
addressing specific customer needs.

In closing, this discussion provides valuable insights into the world of
application networking and how Greymatter is addressing the complex challenges
that modern enterprises face.
