Network Design and Validation
Many made a large effort in developing a deep network design knowledge, as, many times large investments on infrastructures and software are fired in bad network configurations that make all efforts useless.
We think that such an heavy knowledge in networking design is a must not an option.
Virtualized Environments
With the widespread of virtual environments, a large amount of services are consolidated and concentrated in a single infrastructure so that having bad designed networks connections isolate a whole stack of services, and the resulting impact can put the company, temporarily, or by the time definitively, out of market.
This adds to the issues that can come out by the connections among different data centers. The density is always increasing and with that, also the impact of a bad highways project becomes many times unbearable.
