Hybrid cloud environments
When organizations use a CSP’s services in addition to their on-premise computers, networks, and storage
- Organizations use more than one CSP, it is called a multi-cloud environment
- Reduce costs and maintain control over network resources.
Software-defined networks(SDNs)
made up of virtual network devices and services.virtual switches, routers, firewalls, and more
What are the benefits of using cloud computing and software - defined networks??
Reliability - How available cloud services and resources are, how secure connections are, and how often the services are effectively running
Cost - virtual devices and services at a fraction of the cost required for companies to install, patch, upgrade, and manage the components
Scalability - companies only pay for what they need when they need it
