Much of the focus around cloud computing has been server and application-based, ensuring that the compute power can support the high levels of virtualisation necessary.
What has received less attention is the network element, as enterprises try to adapt their infrastructure to allow internal resources and implementations to link up and take advantage of ever increasing public services. With the advent of software defined networking, the choices have only increased — with complexity increasing too, and manageability becoming an issue. TechFire 13 on 11 November looked specifically at how developments in network technology allow organisations to build their own path to the right cloud, ensuring that they get the most from virtualisation investments, private cloud steps and the best that public cloud has to offer. |
