Cisco has further broadened the cloud-integration options available to its SD-WAN customers with new connectivity options to AWS and Microsoft Azure cloud services.
With these additions, Cisco’s goal is to ensure cloud-destined traffic gets into the cloud network faster, improving management, performance, security and reducing the latency that can impact cloud workloads.
“Hybrid cloud is the norm and Cisco’s plan is bringing the networking support to improve app performance and add security without adding pain—it’s the right direction,” said Lee Doyle, principal analyst at Doyle Research.
