The place where applications, data, and systems intersect is the network, and automation today, plays a more important role than ever in scaling the business and decreasing time-to-market. Enterprise networks today are managed in many ways with an increasing number of tools and methods. Public cloud adoption has ushered in additional design complexity and tooling along with an exponentially increasing rate of change. These changes in the technology landscape have set automation as a critical business imperative.
Enterprises are looking for the network to be a utility that offers the performance, reliability, and scale required to do business in the cloud era. If the network is slow, everything is slow. If the network isn’t continuously available, it gets noticed. If the network can’t recover from disaster, the whole business is impacted. Alkira’s Network Infrastructure-as-a-Service offers the performance, scale, and elasticity to meet current and future demands, and HashiCorp’s Terraform provides the single interaction surface to operate Alkira with modern DevOps / CICD practices.
