Abstract
State and local agencies are implementing cloud platforms and software-as-a-service solutions to modernize faster and meet emerging needs. But layering new cloud solutions atop existing data center systems dramatically changes network requirements. Instead of funneling traffic to central data centers to connect with services and enforce security, today�s networks must efficiently and securely link multiple cloud services with multiple locations.
