Business Challenge
The traditional enterprise has evolved into a hybrid one with people, apps, and data everywhere. More and more business-critical applications are moving to public clouds for SaaS and IaaS while others remain on-premises in datacenters. Additionally, organizations are leveraging combinations of hybrid networks (MPLS, Internet VPN, and public Internet) for real-time application delivery to location independent users.
IT is under continued pressure to deliver the highest level of performance in a complex and evolving hybrid network. However, unpredictable application behavior, reduced visibility, and limited control, can all decrease application performance. As a result, businesses and users often experience decreased productivity.
