Part 2 in our series on Here’s What a Network Needs After a Cloud Migration. Part 1 looked at how to redesign the LAN. When a company’s application infrastructure moves to the cloud, a reliable Internet connection becomes mandatory. Hiccups in Internet service that might have been an inconvenience when apps were in-house now grind the business to a halt. Unfortunately, the Internet link happens to be the single least reliable element in an IT infrastructure.

By now, most organizations have realized the benefits of moving some, most, or all of their business applications to the cloud. The cloud typically offers better security and performance, at a lower price, than housing resources on-premises. You may have helped them in that migration or you may have been hired after it was complete. Either way, a client with cloud hosting has different network requirements than one whose infrastructure is primarily on-premises.

Multi-cloud cost management has quickly evolved from a nice-to-have capability to a core expectation with the accelerated adoption of the cloud. Organizations that depend on managed service providers (MSPs) for cloud operations now look to them for financial clarity as well. Now, MSPs are not only expected to monitor and manage cloud usage, but also to act as trusted cost advisors. They must deliver transparency, predictability, and strong governance across all the cloud environments their customers use.

When disruptions occur, the impacts on teaching, learning, and administrative operations can be significant.
