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.

Most organizations now operate in a hybrid multicloud world. The divide between cloud, edge and on-premises is blurring and organizations need flexible options for connecting, and interconnecting, in a way that transforms their business. Modern application services architectures and digital exchange points are causing enterprises to rethink their infrastructure connectivity strategy. Add in the complexity of regionally or globally distributed workforce, and the challenges are further compounded. Developing a robust enterprise connectivity solution that serves all these factors can be challenging and may require your organization to evaluate new aspects such as colocation or cloud interconnection strategies. WWT's experts can help you sort through the available options, providing experience-based insights into your unique connectivity strategy, and accelerating the decision process through engineer-tested architectures.

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. These changes are forcing enterprise networks to change to provide secure access. This briefing will explain how the network and security worlds are colliding to deliver Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) and how your org can prepare to take advantage of the Secure Business outcome that SASE provides.

Increased visibility, risk reduction, integrated toolsets--these are just a few of the secure business outcomes required by mature network security and management programs. Securing the network, both at the perimeter and inside the enterprise, is a challenge in today's landscape.
