Better Manage Partner Ecosystem

GE has made major investments in its cloud infrastructure, recently indicating that it

plans to migrate 9,000 applications to public IaaS over the next three years and reduce its data centers from more than 30 to the single digits. For any enterprise this would be a complex undertaking, but for a $117 billion company — with tens of thousands of apps, hundreds of thousands of servers and petabytes of storage and networks in hundreds of countries around the world — the transition is mammoth. And GE is certainly not alone in migrating significant assets via a hybrid configuration. GE is likely using a variety of tools to help with the transition and tuning of its assets, helping it optimize route paths, negotiate cloud and CDN deals and ensure the best possible experience for its many partners. With complex, multinational and multi-region assets and partners to consider, having deep insight and control into the internet infrastructure is critical to managing costs and investments and optimizing performance.                                                                    https://www.itbusinessedge.com/slideshows/8-reasons-the-enterprise-needs-more-visibility-into-the-cloud-06.html
