As leaders look for the best ways to move their businesses and teams forward, both financial and operational agility are top of mind.

According to a recent IDC report,(1) “A variety of trends are converging that in summation amount to an emerging shift toward more enterprise networking solutions being delivered to enterprises as a service and via flexible consumption models” which provides customers “with the ability to scale capacity up or down fairly quickly without significant up-front financial outlays.”
