Cloud networking is evolving. The emphasis is changing from connecting to the cloud to connecting within and between clouds.
The past few years have seen some of the largest and most rapid changes in over a century, forcing people and organisations to quickly adapt. Many companies have been forced to rip up their technology investment plans and implement many years’ worth of digital transformation in a matter of months.
This has resulted in a shift towards digital ecosystems, cloud native and multi-cloud architectures. Organisations now need to focus on providing end-to-end networking across these disparate interconnected environments.
IDC research shows that ‘digital leaders’ - the top 25% of companies that view IT as a strategic enabler for their business and that invest most heavily in advanced cloud-native digital infrastructure - are the ones that are flexible and agile enough to adapt to these changing conditions.
The most successful companies are effectively connecting their employees, customers and suppliers, both within and across this ecosystem - enabling them to collaborate and work productively.
In this technology spotlight, IDC reveals how to:
- Get to grips with cloud interconnectivity.
- Handle the integrated delivery of complicated platforms.
- Navigate some of the challenges around moving to the cloud.
- Develop your organisation's own cloud strategy and roadmap.
- Drive your data centre strategy through interconnectivity.
- Add value with an end-to-end connectivity service.
