    USERS like applications are
    becoming more decentralized and
    mobile making it difficult to maintain
    consistent and superior quality of
    experience
    APPLICATIONS are
    becoming more mobile as
    workloads are moved to flexible
    and efficient infrastructure both
    on- and off-premise.
    CLOUDS are expanding the
    once centralized “edge” of the
    enterprise network creating
    greater security, management and
    control challenges.
