The critical role of the network in cloud evolution
The increasing complexity and scale of cloud-native applications and AI workloads are stressing existing network architectures, making network efficiency a critical bottleneck.
Sophisticated readers should care because network infrastructure is foundational to all digital transformation, cloud adoption, and AI scaling, impacting cost, performance, and reliability.
The focus shifts from merely connecting to actively optimizing and managing the dynamic interactions and performance within cloud environments, blurring lines between compute and network.
