Organizations have come to expect services such as email, internet access and file sharing to be as highly available as the analog telephone system. In addition, network security and compliance continue to be a top concern for organizations. While demand for additional technologies to further efficiencies and competitiveness increases, network teams struggle to keep up with the growing complexity of the network infrastructure.
