Many organizations eager to reap the benefits of cloud networking have adopted a cloud first strategy. As a result, their DevOps teams are actively developing applications that enable them to compete more effectively in today’s digital marketplace. Cost savings, agility, responsiveness and scalability are all drivers of this growing transition. Developing or subscribing to SaaS applications, such as Office 365 or Salesforce, enables organizations to extend productivity solutions to their WAN edge, such as branch offices or remote retail locations, without needing to pass traffic through their central data center.
