With the adoption of new cloud services, more strain is put on network teams to also learn new dashboards and network services that are unique to each cloud provider and need to connect them together using complex routing protocols that must be done rapidly and in coordination with other IT teams. This has created a need to either merge the networking and cloud teams together or provide a common platform to facilitate the integration and orchestration needs for the digitally transformed enterprise.
By leveraging the right platform that can provide end-to-end orchestration through an API-first approach, connecting various domains to IT systems and platforms, both cloud and network teams can collaborate to orchestrate the ‘Network of Clouds.’
