We were serious about getting serious about managing hybrid cloud and federating application network services
\nLast month I brought up the need to manage application network services – load balancing, acceleration, optimization, application security.. you know, application services that live in the data path.
\nThese services are what address concerns that Our customers (and I’m sure the market at large) are having regarding application deployments. It’s not the case that these services are any less needed or desired to address concerns related to cloud and emerging architectures, it’s that they need to be more automated, more elastically scaled, and more broadly deployed across a variety of environments.
\nThat’s where BIG-IQ Cloud comes in. It’s the first application available on our new BIG-IQ platform and its focus is on (as you might guess from the name) cloud.<\/p>\n
