A new Approach for a High-Performance, Hybrid Cloud Network
As digital transformation progresses, the need for a business to connect to customers and business partner grows. This presents fundamental challenges for IT.
What's Inside
1. Intro: Multicloud and Hybrid Networking Trends Take Shape
The new era of digital transformation has changed the way that organizations manage their infrastructure, requiring a new type of networking system that can support high-performance connectivity for apps wherever they reside – including inside traditional enterprise infrastructure, in the cloud, or at the edge.
2. Hybrid Cloud Challenge: What Does It Mean for Networking?
As hybrid and multicloud architectures loom on the horizon, one of the key needs is to securely connect, manage, and integrate networking among the various clouds. A new type of networking is needed to accommodate this, as traditional enterprise networks were not built for multicloud and hybrid cloud needs. Some folks call this multicloud networking (MCN) or hybrid networking.
3. Building Cloud Networking that Responds to Business Needs
If the network needs to adapt to hybrid environments, what does it look like? The hybrid-ready network needs many characteristics that differ drastically from traditional networking technology. Primarily, it must be able to respond to the business needs we outlined above.
