Use cases
Peak demand is often unpredictable. When that happens, you need to quickly grow network capacity to deliver the best performance for your users.
As your user base grows, you need a network that will support more users and deliver your services to different parts of the world.
Building a hybrid cloud or migrating applications to the cloud, can be complex and precarious.
Your application traffic contains most sensitive data for you and for your customers. Your security level depends on how you architect your cloud network.
