The path to the cloud and the role of the network

Everything is moving to the cloud...or is it?

In reality, many applications are far from cloudready, and some never will be. But almost every new application will be cloud-enabled. So how do you evolve your data center into a private cloud and drive hybrid IT by connecting to public clouds, yet still cater for the needs of your legacy software?

At Juniper, we believe in building coherent networks to help simplify both the physical topology as well as the operations of the network itself. Once having done that, we can then secure it. And, by moving to micro parameters, we can do a much better job of protecting applications. Finally, automation, particularly as we get into micro parameters, micro segments and the need for agility, is where SDN really pays off.
