Customers are increasingly shifting workloads to the public cloud and the networking has to adapt quickly as data, services, and endpoints are becoming more distributed across the edge and public cloud locations. As a result, customers need to manage, adapt, and simplify the networking operations within and across cloud providers. We see Alkira as a strategic disruptor in the space which addresses this real challenge for our customers.
