Network architects are facing an increasingly complex operating environment. The technologies that may be best for their organization may not be the easiest to manage and monitor – particularly at scale. A single approach to cloud, servers or pathway for development is not feasible in a modern business environment but when multiple technologies and requirements are in play, security risk increases and compliance becomes more cumbersome. This is where network virtualization becomes a path forward that takes into account operational efficiency and zero trust cyber practices that will serve organizations well into the future.
