Today’s Networks Can’t Meet Cloud Expectations

Impossible to identify applications and meet diverse service levels

Applicationindifferent



Architected for one tenant, user type & location - lacking programmability

Rigidphysicalnetworks



Slow to respond to new app requirements & hampered by manual errors
