The importance of an enterprise-grade network at the center of cloud services cannot be overstated. Without it, private clouds are closed systems and public clouds are vulnerable to security breaches. The optimum cloud is one that is network-based, where cloud services are actually embedded in the network. A network-based cloud allows cloud services and applications to be managed and delivered as part of a total solution straight down to any device just like voice and data.
In his session at the 11th International Cloud Expo, Jay Upchurch, Executive Director of Product Marketing Management at AT&T, will discuss how this unique approach can offer enterprises the scale and flexibility of the cloud, without sacrificing performance, reliability and security.
