SDN in the age of multi-cloud connectivity: the case for a converged programmable network

This report provides insights for operators that are considering adopting new products and/or managed services to enable them to address the enterprise need for end-to-end multi-cloud connectivity.

Key questions answered in this report

• What are the requirements for multi-cloud connectivity and how do these differ from the requirements for traditional connectivity?
• What are the implications of adopting an SDN approach in the data-centre, and wide-area network (WAN) overlay and underlay domains?
• How will cloud-native networking and a power shift to applications developers affect the development of multi-cloud connectivity solutions?
• Which vendors are taking the lead in adopting this new converged, programmable approach to the multi-cloud network?
