在联邦使用云网络的六个理由

The US Federal government continues to forge ahead with cloud services to reduce legacy system costs and improve constituent services and mission-related goals. The government’s cloud journey, started more than a decade ago, has many bright spots. The Department of Energy has migrated to Microsoft Office 365. The Air Force is experimenting with edge-cloud computing to enable resilient base operations. Veteran Affairs, Department of Homeland Security and Customs and Border Protection are recognized leaders in cloud-smart success.

除了典型的使用云计算和圣orage, networking is an important area for cloud innovation and migration. Cloud networking is an effective way to accelerate IT modernization and deliver a better user experience. Cloud-managed networks operate out of ultra-reliable, ultra-secure, cloud-scale data centers to deliver the highest levels of network uptime and security, wherever staff are located.

Here are six ways cloud networking delivers modernization and innovation for Federal.

1. Accelerate network modernization.云网络是现代化网络服务的机会，无论是无线还是有线网络在办公室，基础或领域的有线网络。组织具有最高级别的网络正常运行时间和安全性，具有最现代的网络功能和可用智能服务。无论在哪里，用户都有更高的知名度和分析，用户都有更好的网络体验。
2. 启用远程工作和操作连续性。即使在像全球大流行这样的活动中，政府运营也无法停止。云网络是一种经济上可行的方式，可以在新地点快速提供安全网络服务，无论是支持家庭，临时医院还是战术操作。无论用户如何访问网络或所在的位置，都可以一致地强制执行网络访问和安全策略。云网络缩放，以满足从任何地方工作的需求，同时仍然满足政府的严格安全要求。
3. 在边缘提供智能服务。With cloud-managed networking, agencies can count on the high levels of network uptime and resiliency required to deliver services at the edge. Adding services like guest access, AI-driven operations, enhanced device visibility, location services or user experience monitoring, is a matter of turning on new capabilities from the network provider. It lays the foundation for smart systems that gather and analyze data to meet an array of operational and mission goals, whether it’s tracking water quality, improving emergency response or maintaining vital equipment.
4. Save time and free up IT resources.云networks deliver rapid time-to-value because the vendor does the heavy lifting. There’s no need to deploy controllers in the data center. To deploy networking at a new site, the IT team simply powers up the APs, switches, and gateway infrastructure at the new location and then centrally configures the network and security policies through mobile app or web portal. Branch connectivity and wired/wireless networks are up and running with practically no ramp-up time. The cloud network vendor handles ongoing maintenance and updates. Now, IT teams can focus on mission goals, rather than maintaining infrastructure.
5. Improve the user experience with operational visibility.云networking makes it easy to deliver a consistently great network experience. IT has a single console to manage and control the network, from field locations to headquarters to data centers, across the wired, wireless, VPN and WAN. AI and analytics can be used to continuously monitor user and application behaviors to automatically diagnose issues before they impact users. When problems do arise, network telemetry makes it easier to solve the problem.
6. Leverage a commercial as-a-service model.Like other cloud services, cloud networking provides a predictable as-a-service model with flexible consumption options. Agencies don’t need to make periodic capital expenses—or spend now to accommodate network usage a decade from now.

Simplifying Networking for Federal

与任何IT服务一样，没有一个尺寸适合的解决方案，并且代理商必须灵活地选择为其独特需求而定制的云管理网络解决方案。一些代理商可以在混合云网络模型中运行，管理剩余的内部物业，而其他机构则可以完全移动到云。
