Today’s distributed business is forcing enterprises to build new data centers, adopt clouds, and move existing servers and clusters of servers to geographically distributed locations in order to provide nonstop, reliable, and secure access to critical business applications for users anywhere, anytime. As a result, connecting and sharing these resources securely across this landscape of multi-site data centers and clouds is not a choice — it’s a requirement. But interconnecting data centers is hard, and requires close coordination across different IT teams. Virtual networking and software defined networking (SDN) only exacerbate the problem.
