Streamline application services

Agencies and institutions are looking to cloud-based applications and services to improve user productivity and mobility, and comply with mandates like Cloud Smart. Many public sector organizations rely on outdated network management practices that inhibit IT agility and impair application delivery. For many, provisioning network services, managing bandwidth, and troubleshooting problems is a manually intensive, error-prone proposition involving multiple vendor-specific command line interfaces (CLIs) or proprietary element management systems.
