Lift and Shift: Taking your Physical Network Management to the Cloud

Tuesday, April 7 at 2:00pm EDT

Communications service providers are seeking ways to increase their competitive edge and accelerate their digital transformation. Their IT managers are under pressure to raise the performance bar to higher speed and scale despite reductions in budget and siloed legacy systems. By managing their physical network assets with cloud service applications, CSPs can gain visibility into their deployment projects and the availability of their network resources. And using cloud infrastructure CSPs can improve security, data privacy, and compliance operations while maintaining control and scalability. During this webinar the presenters review the market forces driving the need for a lift-n-shift move to the cloud architecture and applications; and they describe the changes to the IT workloads and processes necessary to transform their network management to a cloud infrastructure.

Presenters:
Damion Harrylal, Solutions Engineer II, 3-GIS
Tommy Siniard, Chief Technical Officer, 3-GIS
Robert Haynes, Solutions Marketing Manager, Palo Alto Networks
