Next Generation Branch characteristics Datacenter / Cloud Branch Applications are centralizing, people are decentralizing Branch Growth, Remote and mobile worker growth WAN Challenges with survivability, user experience, security, green Users need consistent availability, performance & security irrespective of where applications are Internet Data Center/Cloud & Branch IT boundaries continue to evolve Applications & services continuum between centralized / decentralized models Branches need a new Service Paradigm
- 7. Virtual Services Approach • All-in-the-Cloud Customer Experiences • – Ideal, but not always practical? How does virtualization in the Data • All-on-the-premise Center impact the branch? – Cost, Operational complexity • What about virtualization in the Branch • itself? Some-in-the-cloud, some-the-premise, with branch virtualization – Likely scenario
