  • Delivering an Application Led Network

    Enterprises are adopting cloud at an increasing pace, and with it their expectations from network services are changing. There has been a shift of focus away from bandwidth-based connectivity services. Instead, enterprises are looking for providers that can promise simplicity and flexibility in how they design, deploy, secure, monitor and manage networking services in a “multicloud” world. This means delivering secure, managed networking – not just in the WAN, but in the LAN and datacenter as well. In this session STL Partners will join Juniper and IBM to share our latest analysis on enterprise network trends. We will argue that the current appetite for SD-WAN is an opportunity for service providers to play a bigger role in helping enterprises to make the transition to multicloud and set out the pathways to making this happen.
