Top IT Issues for 2011




                                                                       top 5 priorities include:

                Should an application be accessible on the Internet, on a private WAN, or both?

                What is the best way to ensure predictable performance of cloud-based applications?

                What can be done to accommodate the needs of bandwidth-intensive applications?

                What tools are available to maintain visibility and control of virtualized infrastructure?

                How will all of this change over time, and what’s it going to cost?


                                                                Are these your priorities?
