Connectivity best practices…
1) Determine your current network topology and where your traffic bottlenecks are. Review this against your cloud approach and determine how the network will need to flex to allow for cloud hosting versus on premise.
2) Exploit cloud-hosted applications for standard enterprise - messaging, CRM, collaboration, finance, and payroll.
3) For legacy applications, virtualise existing physical servers into a single environment. Rationalise all legacy hardware infrastructure for servers and data centre switching, and move workloads into the cloud partner.
4) Determine your cloud services portfolio for: the Internet, public cloud, private cloud, Public Services Network (PSN) and the Health & Social Care Network (HSCN).
