Nine Tests You Need Now for Edge-to-Cloud Networking
eBooks
INTRODUCTION
The networking industry has witnessed a remarkable pace of change over the last decade. Significant technical innovations, including software-defined networking, virtualization, disaggregation, and closedloop automation, have redefined how we build and manage networks.
The pace of change doesn’t look to be slowing anytime soon. 5G and Wi-Fi 6 are set to accelerate the digitization of industries, and networking and security will converge with secure access service edge (SASE) architectures to deliver seamless edge-to-the-cloud connectivity.
Network equipment manufacturers (NEMs) are innovating faster than ever to thrive in a world where disaggregated, multivendor, multi-cloud networks are the new norm. To enable open, cloud-native networks, you must deliver solutions that operate on a wide variety of white boxes, bare-metal servers, containers, and multiple clouds in addition to your original equipment manufacturer hardware.
