Unlock the Power of Cloud Networking: 7 Benefits Only Aviatrix Provides

A recent Futuriom survey report, “Secure Multicloud Networking” revealed that multicloud and hybrid cloud strategies have emerged as key elements of a new adaptive and agile IT strategy to deliver on digital transformation. Of those surveyed, 80% are using at least two clouds and 81% expect multicloud networking to help simplify or accelerate multicloud or hybrid cloud adoption, which they view as critical infrastructure. However, respondents identified a major gap in networking technology, indicating that they don’t see traditional networking tools as real, programmable, cloud-native solutions for managing diverse infrastructure.
 
Join Futuriom’s founder and chief analyst, Scott Raynovich, and Aviatrix host Rod Stuhlmuller as they discuss the key research findings, including controlling escalating cloud costs, and other important networking trends in 2023 and beyond.
