The Future of Cloud is the Network Futurum Tech Webcast

On this episode of the Futurum Tech Podcast – Interview Series, Daniel Newman and Ron Westfall are joined by Richard Licon, Technical Marketing Engineer at Cisco. Richard’s primary duties include competitive test and analysis for Switching solution architectures.
Our discussion focused on the major trends and drivers as well as the main challenges of the swiftly evolving cloud networking market. We drilled down in our latest white paper, The Future of Cloud is the Network — done in partnership with Cisco — to explore the foundation pillars of cloud networking that are key to the cloud neutral strategy enterprise organizations need in our hybrid and multi-cloud world.
Our conversation with Richard highlighted the following foundation pillars:
What the best-in-class infrastructure pillar means to customers How automated secure connectivity is vital to multi-site fabrics Why simplified operations are key to out-of-box solutions and spinning new fabrics The essential role unified management and policy plays in application optimization and attaining holistic visibility across cloud networking environments How pervasive visibility and insights is vital to fabric-wide testing, rich telemetry, and API-first discipline to integrate with existing tooling. It was a great and stimulating conversation and one you don’t want to miss. Interested in learning more about Cloud Networking?
