Presented at IT Roadmap Chicago 2016: According to IDG’s 2016 State of the Network survey, the collision of mobile users, fragmenting applications, and clouds makes the role of today’s networking professional more challenging and critical than ever. Hybrid is the new normal and ensuring “always on, everywhere" application performance and security is a top priority for today’s enterprises. Join us for this session to see how innovative tools like SD-WAN, SaaS acceleration, and distributed network performance hubs are improving speed, performance and security while simplifying integration with legacy IT.

…And then Kingdom’s resources moved to less accessible uncontrolled territory

6. The Users became More Mobile…
…The Kingdom’s people spread out to new lands not within the Kingdom’s control

7. But Consumer Apps Clog the Internet
