1. Headquarters Experience – Users located in close proximity to where applications are hosted experience good application performance
2. Branch Office Experience – Still positive end-user experience, but certain applications may be impacted
3. Remote Office Experience – Negative end-user experience because of distance from application delivery
4. Kill-Me-Now Experience – Users find it very difficult to do their jobs

Users Want Quality of Experience (QoE) This Requires
Flexible Infrastructure• Fast and Efficient• Cloud-based models• Scale as needed based on
usage• Reduce costs associated with
on-premise deployment
Network Optimization• Guarantee performance for
critical applications• Reduce network TCO• Increase availability and
reliability
Big Data and Analytics• Bring data to the network• Improve performance -
enhanced access and distribution
• Increase availability and security
• Data-driven business decisions
Anytime, Anywhere, on Any Device

Enter The Cloud
“Cloud computing is a model for enabling ubiquitous, convenient, on-demand network access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources that can be rapidly provisioned and released with minimal management effort or service provider interaction.”
Essential Characteristics:
• On-demand self-service
• Broad network access
• Resource pooling
• Rapid elasticity
• Measured service

The Promise of the Public Cloud
• Rapid deployment – just swipe your credit card
• No up-front CapEx – Pay-as-you-go consumption
• Active communities of developers
#RightscaleCompute
6
The Perils of the Public Cloud
• Difficult to control “Shadow IT”
• Technology black box
• If you use a lot of it, it’s expensive

Direct Connect AdvantagesInternet Avoidance = Performance + Security
Elastic – scale at 1 to 10Gbps easily, or multi-10Gbps links
Inexpensive – large bandwidth at drastically lower rates
Secure – Private-high bandwidth dedicated network, with no encryption overhead
Reliable – Direct connectivity provides a more consistent experience than Internet-based connections. 99.95% SLA when using redundant Direct Connect connections
Private – You control data flow over the Direct Connect by advertising specific routes, guaranteeing full control of data flow
