Markley Now

IT managers faced unprecedented challenges as a result of the pandemic. As dispersed workforces continued to grow, employees needed to have access to data and applications from anywhere. As we kick off the New Year, it’s apparent the need for efficient workload transport speed and reliability isn’t going anywhere. Our clients needed an enterprise-grade solution that enabled fault tolerant workloads and delivered direct connectivity across redundant and diverse paths to support the shifting work paradigm. Our solution? Markley Network Fabric.

Eight months into the pandemic, organizations are still establishing best practices for collaboration and connectivity with their increasingly dispersed workforce. Prior to transitioning fully remote, companies were comfortable tunneling all of their traffic from remote workers back through the VPN.

Over the past decade of cloud migration, organizations have learned that the “one cloud fits all” mentality rarely suits the operational and budget requirements of the modern enterprise. While we’ve seen many companies accelerate their cloud adoption to support remote work initiatives, it’s important to keep in mind that many companies still choose to operate applications in the data center as well.

Over the past few years, it’s easy to see how much cloud computing has expanded and evolved. Every time we think we’ve reached peak adoption, new research comes out that shows us all there are still more companies just starting or planning to start their cloud computing journey.
