CITRIX: Facilitating The Cloud Migration By Reducing Network Infrastructure Complexities

CIO Vendor From SMEs to well-established organisations, today, most of the businesses are moving to the Cloud platforms. While businesses continue to embrace the Cloud technologies that offer greater scalability and flexibility to the systems, their ability to migrate to the Cloud is hindered by the complexity of the network infrastructure. Moreover, companies can be trapped in the Cloud lock-in due to lack of Cloud migration strategy. SD-WAN which is considered as a foundation of modern networking requirements is the backbone of the hybrid and multicloud for enterprise applications and it provides an effective medium for the enterprise application delivery, be it from the data centres, public clouds or SaaS facilitating the collaboration of distributed teams.

This is where Citrix comes into play helping companies in the Cloud migration to seamlessly move their enterprise grade workloads to the Cloud and protecting them against the risk of Cloud lock-in with multicloud approach to accommodate both existing and new applications, ensuring that applications reside in the optimized environment.
