Enterprises seek the ability to react quickly to business demands in the digital world. In response, IT professionals today face daunting tasks in deploying and managing networking infrastructure given resource and consumption constraints. Also, connectivity is no longer relegated to the confines of office walls or the traditional centralized datacenter. Rather, businesses require connectivity to extend to the campus, branch, and network edge – anywhere the user or data resides -- given the highly distributed nature of business applications. Consequently, these networks are difficult to deploy and manage for a number of reasons. The exponential growth in users, devices, IoT, mobility, cloud, and security challenges creates management challenges and operating expense pressure. Smaller network operator staffs, growing SaaS adoption, on-premise repatriation, and data regulations, such as GDPR in Europe, are also creating a host of complexities within today’s networked environments.
