A successful cloud journey rests upon the foundation of a well-planned cloud network architecture. With cloud's rapid acceleration comes new networking requirements and capabilities, which requires us to periodically re-evaluate our current architecture. <br><Br> This briefing will discuss new cloud networking platforms that simplify the architecture and reduce the operational complexity of traditional native approaches to networking. These new approaches provide a simplified operational model, multicloud visibility, integrated network processes across cloud providers and leverage software-defined cloud networking: a new capability that provides you software-defined connectivity with control over routing, switching and security.

The cloud, remote work, evolving working habits and an increasingly technology savvy workforce has changed how and where people are connecting to applications and critical resources.

In this briefing, we discuss the most common solutions and capabilities available in today's software ADC (application delivery controller) market. As companies embark on their digital transformation journey, software-based load balancers quickly become a topic of discussion to replace the dependable bare metal load balancing solutions of the past. Modernized lightweight virtual load balancers bring agility and speed to infrastructure teams, enabling them to adapt to DevOps and increasing business demands around application security. WWT will offer insight on the best use cases for each solution and can even discuss where a combination of multi-OEM solutions may be the ideal. Our goal is to have a vendor-agnostic discussion; however, we can also focus your briefing on specific products and ecosystems.
