The Journey to Cloud Network Management

A network management revolution is underway. Innovations such as hybrid work, Augmented Reality (AR), Virtual Reality (VR), and robotics are diversifying the makeup of devices on the network, demanding lower latency and changing the approach to security. Organizations are also decentralizing, rapidly scaling out the number and diversity of sites they support. Together, these two transitions put massive stress on the network and the teams that support it, threatening the foundation for future technology and business innovations.

This white paper outlines these trends and presents a scaling IT operating model as a path toward helping IT engage with these trends.
