Meeting complex business needs requires high-performing IT infrastructure able to produce the speed and low-latency that brings results. Many IT leaders worry about the ability of a cloud platform to provide the same level of performance for mission-critical applications as they can deliver on their own infrastructure.

A business-ready hybrid cloud solution requires highly performant network connections between multiple compute and/or storage locations. The desirable characteristics of performant network include low latency, high bandwidth, reliable performance,
