One way is to consider the 3Rs approach to building a cloud-ready network:
Right design and solution - custom built networks
Right infrastructure - comprehensive connectivity solutions
Right operations, people and skills - robust service lifecycle management
By following the 3Rs approach, we can use software-defined technologies to unlock the power of a cloud-ready network including:
1. With the right connectivity, you can keep your network running smoothly.
2. With on-demand network deployment, you can reduce costs and speed up delivery.
3. Integrate and inter-operate with existing WAN services to provide greater bandwidth.
4. Centrally managed applications and multi-vendor networks can improve performance.
5. Wide-ranging management tools can provide you with full control and real-time visibility.
According to Gartner, “Whilst SDN promises a new era in networking, many buyers are confused about its value and how to implement it effectively.”
