"Network Intelligence in Cloud Applications: Why Cloud is the Network?"

By: Doyle Research

Network intelligence based in the cloud enables IT organizations to quickly, easily, and securely adapt their network to the new cloud-oriented traffic flows. SD-WAN technology delivers the network intelligence required to increase remote work force with cloud-based applications and data. Read this whitepaper, “Why the Cloud is the Network”, to learn how to leverage the cloud as a network and why the organizations accessing cloud-based applications should consider the adoption of SD-WAN solutions. It discusses: • How are enterprises leveraging network intelligence in the cloud based applications to produce flexible networks which adapt, improve, and secure access and performance of traditional cloud services? • How can intelligent cloud network impact user adoption, satisfaction, and productivity? • How can network intelligence based in the cloud remediate network challenges to reduce jitters, packet loss, and improve redundancy? • How can network intelligence in the cloud based applications minimize disadvantages like unpredictable reliability, poor latency, and limited security?

Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery were the most commonly cited reasons (60%) for having adopted Cloud-based solutions for backup and recovery. Enterprises acknowledge that cloud backups and recovery are required to maintain business operations and business continuity. The ability to recover data, when needed, in a cost effective manner was widely cited as one of the main criteria used to select a particular Cloud service. This whitepaper takes a look at both the advantages for those who have transitioned to cloud solutions and drawbacks for those who haven’t. Key takeaways from this whitepaper: Characteristics of today’s retention landscape Business Continuity, not simply Data Recovery, is the actual requirement Are Cloud-based backup & recovery solutions being used to address these needs? Benefits of using the cloud for backup, recovery and business continuity Criteria used to select Cloud solutions Hindrances to adoption of Cloud-based solutions for backup and recovery
