IDC Innovators Report Profiles Four Companies Offering Multicloud Networking Solutions for Enterprise

International Data Corporation (IDC) today published an IDC Innovators report profiling four companies that offer multicloud networking solutions for the enterprise. The four companies are: Alkira, Aviatrix, Nefeli Networks, and Volterra.

The adoption of infrastructure as a service (IaaS) and software as a service (SaaS) has effectively redrawn the boundaries of the enterprise datacenter, with the datacenter and its network becoming distributed. Unfortunately, most enterprises aren't prepared for the complexities associated with multicloud networking.

"The migration of workloads to clouds not only redefines the parameters of the datacenter network, but it also dramatically changes what’s required of the network architecturally and operationally," said Brad Casemore, research vice president, Datacenter and Multicloud Networks. "The focus now is on abstracting and mitigating the complexity of networking optimally to disparate clouds, each with its cloud-specific APIs and networking constructs and services. "
