Leading Analyst Dr. Jim Metzler and Apcela CEO Mark Casey Discuss Three Steps to a Cloud-Ready SD-WAN
Summary
This old-school architecture was established at a time when applications and data resided behind enterprise firewalls and performance requirements were static. Times have changed – this legacy model and the complexity of today’s hybrid IT environments requires a new approach to networking. In his 2018 Guide to WAN Architecture and Design, leading WAN analyst Dr. Jim Metzler surveyed the current enterprise IT landscape to answer the following question, “How are enterprises planning to evolve their network architectures to deal with the cloud, and what are the critical obstacles getting in the way?” In our upcoming webinar, Dr. Metzler, along with Mark Casey, Founder & CEO of Apcela, will review the findings and share the top imperatives for hitting the challenges head on. Its global, award-winning platform – originally built for the world’s most sophisticated high-frequency trading firms – securely accelerates applications and data between legacy enterprise datacenters and the cloud.
