Enterprises are moving beyond single‑cloud deployments. IDC research shows hybrid cloud is now the norm and multicloud is rapidly expanding, driving new demands on connectivity, security, and operations. The paper explains how virtualized networking combined with private, cloud‑adjacent interconnection helps teams deploy faster, scale globally, and control costs without sacrificing performance.

What you’ll learn:

  • Why traditional WAN and physical hardware are falling short in a multicloud world.
  • How virtualized network functions (VNFs) reduce time-to-market, improve agility, and lower costs.
  • The role of global, on-demand infrastructure in securing distributed data flows.
  • What sets the leaders apart: characteristics of enterprises succeeding in their cloud-network alignment.
  • Key takeaways and strategic guidance for IT and network decision-makers.
Multicloud is not a trend but a reality. Enterprises must evolve their network infrastructure to stay agile, secure, and competitive.
