Across the globe, the Cloud has become a highly appealing solution for businesses of all sizes, who are increasingly managing and deploying IT infrastructure, applications, and services in web-based environments.
However, as more and more enterprises adopt the Cloud, it’s becoming very clear that network connectivity must be a major consideration to ensure performance, reliability and ROI. Without it, that investment may never reach its full potential.
With many businesses moving towards a Cloud First strategy, your network needs the capacity to cope now and in the future – especially as the growth in rich digital media and data heavy applications is only going to accelerate.
Direct connectivity is key to optimising access to the cloud services and infrastructure that businesses require. It can deliver the cost-efficient access to the data and applications that drive collaboration and productivity and create a pace of change for both today and the future.
By investing in your connectivity you can ensure your organisation is ready for a digital future where data connects your people and your customers, and where sensitive data in the public sector can be shared between services – such as health, police, education and social workers - with complete confidence in its security.
But it’s not a one-size-fits-all proposition. So, from here we look at some of the questions organisations should be asking themselves along that journey of transforming themselves and their networks to a cloud-based future.
