As organizations modernize their IT infrastructure with VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF), ensuring seamless workload and application mobility becomes critical. One often overlooked yet critical factor in this transformation is the quality of the networks connecting data centers and cloud environments. This is especially challenging in environments dependent on internet service providers (ISPs) and other external networks, where internal network operations teams have limited control over network behavior.

Businesses are increasingly depending on network operations centers (NOCs) to ensure their IT systems operate without interruption.
