| NOTAS: | 'For most large organizations, workload migration to the cloud is hardly binary. Certain workloads will be trusted to public cloud providers, some will remain on-premises, and some will be hosted in a private, dedicated cloud. Yet others will move between different delivery models and cloud providers depending on volume and business criticality.
Enterprises must seriously consider whether their networks can support an ever-evolving set of workloads and delivery models, especially those that involve third-party public cloud providers. Most corporate wide-area networks are not up to the task, with the result that organizations are missing out on opportunities to move more workloads to the cloud on a secure, managed basis. Businesses that currently connect their VPNs to third-party cloud providers normally do so based on dedicated interconnects, rather than through on-demand interconnect services. With the advent and ongoing growth in uptake of cloud services interconnect (CSI) solutions, Ovum thinks this is about to change.' |
