Cloud computing technologies have 
transformed how organizations design and 
operate their data centers. More than ever, 
they must find a cost-effective means to scale 
capacity to support business growth, maximize 
infrastructure utilization, and increase 
operational efficiency and business agility.
This requires a resilient and adaptable 
network that can facilitate the rollout of  
new services or applications in real time. 
The underlying infrastructure must be able 
to consolidate network resources into shared, 
reusable assets, allowing administrators to 
more efficiently distribute workloads and 
manage peak traffic while adhering to 
Service Level Agreements (SLAs). Moreover, 
it must allow organizations to streamline 
data center operations and automate 
workloads within their virtual and physical 
infrastructures, to help ensure predictable 
and reliable service delivery.
