Network-Aware Orchestration: The Next Level of SD-WAN By @SDietric | @CloudExpo #Cloud

Enterprise networks have become complex. They were designed and deployed to meet a specific set of business requirements at a specific point in time.

Business needs have shifted dramatically. The adoption of cloud services, business application-focused requirements and evolving security policies require IT organizations to continuously deploy configuration changes. The... (more)

Organizations are now three times more likely to adopt cloud-based provisioning of recovery sites. Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS) is a critical offering for cloud providers as it offers a non-intrusive solution for end users to effectively evaluate the cloud and become more amenable to using the cloud for further use cases. Cloud service provider’s DRaaS offerings must be rigorous enough to push the performance of the cloud but be a safe proposition for the enterprise. In his session a...
