Keep Up With the Cloud

Trends to watch for a future-ready network

In the past decade, organizations have seen the tools they use for work move from on-site resources to servers hosted in the cloud by third-party service providers. This often provides immediate savings for data storage and processing while also making it easier to create redundancy with resources backed up in data centers. As a result, 72% of IT decision makers (ITDMs) say their organization is defaulting to cloud-based services when upgrading or purchasing new technical capabilities. Network integration with cloud service providers will only become tighter in the years ahead.

This guide outlines the opportunities on the horizon, as well as ways to meet the challenges of creating a flexible, modernized network that keeps up with the cloud to ensure your organization stays competitive.
