• Cloud Intelligent Network
Does your application performance meet user expectations ?
Are you using your bandwidth efficiently ?
Can your network deliver a high quality experience for any video application ?
Can you secure your applications in the branch office? In the cloud? On any device ?
Does your network deliver the same user experience on both physical and virtual desktops ?
Do you have visibility into your network data to troubleshoot ?
• Cloud Intelligent Data Center
Can I easily move my workloads within and between data centers
Can I burst to the cloud for extra capacity
Can I reuse excess capacity or redeploy within minutes compute, storage and network
resources
Can I manage, monitor and control SLA’s across all services in my data center and network
How do I ensure my corporate security and access policies are applied when using public cloud
