Enterprises are transforming the way they look at IT and resources, moving more business critical applications and computing plat-forms to the cloud. As this shift occurs, connectivity to these cloud based resources is growing in importance as that link to the outside world can determine the effectiveness of your access to the cloud. ADTRAN® believes cloud connectivity is high performance, secure and reliable connectivity to the public and/or private clouds.

Many see and hear news about being connected to the “cloud”, and picture a whole new world of what that means to a business as it relates to connectivity. Cloud connectivity really began back in the days of business connectivity using CSUs/DSUs, and over the years has migrated to the more IP centric connectivity that most of today’s businesses utilize. The truth is, ADTRAN is the global leader in public and private cloud connectivity with a 20-year history of connecting businesses to cloud-based applications and services. ADTRAN has continually designed and provided innovative solutions delivering maximum bandwidth and availability through this time of service migration, and as a result lead the way as the top deployed vendor by carriers for bundled business services.

The Shift to Cloud ServicesOur long history of providing business connectivity solutions allows us to understand the dynamic shifts in the marketplace as it relates to Cloud Connectivity. This shift in IT model is revealing some key components that businesses value when making the move to cloud based applications and services, such as:

• High Performance, Secure and Reliable Solutions: These are three key areas of focus for IT departments when looking at their businesses connection knowing that potentially sensitive data will be transferred to the cloud.

• Support for the Entire Enterprise: The days of a single-site business are about gone as enterprises continue to offer more and more employees remote and home offices. The ability to support all these deployment scenarios with a single vendor solution offering can greatly simplify ongoing administration and support.

• Business Continuity: A great question every IT professional should have when moving business critical applications to the cloud is, “What happens when my connectivity fails?”

“The truth is that Cloud has a significant

impact on how we need to think about

both architecture and connectivity,

and how it relates to effective

application or service delivery.”
