Embrace your transformation
Annie Li, Product Marketing Specialist Intern
Transformation, a process to reinvent itself, occurs around every corner of our daily life. One of the most notable examples of transformation is metamorphosis. Metamorphosis is a process by which organisms such as insects, fish, and amphibians, undergo physical changes. The transformation of tadpoles into frogs is probably one of the most commonly known examples of metamorphosis.
Metamorphosis is a remarkable process. The speed and extent of cell growth and differentiation are astonishing. In most species, such rapid evolution and sweeping changes extend beyond the organism’s physical attributes. It also transforms its means of eating or its means of breathing to better adapt to an evolving environment.
Similarly, with the emergence of multi-cloud, a hybrid workforce, and cloud-based applications, networking has also been undergoing a metamorphosis. Connectivity and application experience are now at the forefront of day-to-day operational priorities for enterprises and organizations. The internet is critical to the new enterprise WAN. As a result, a modern SD-WAN solution needs to evolve, be flexible, and be built to connect users reliably and securely across multi-cloud, branches, data centers, and the hybrid workforce.
Cisco is constantly helping organizations continue their transformation. We are helping our customers to migrate from Viptela OS to Cisco IOS XE and the next generation of SD-WAN platforms. Cisco IOS XE is an innovative engine optimized for cloud connectivity and enhanced visibility, and it is built around a SASE architecture. Businesses and organizations can better adapt to this critical transformation to drive business resiliency and provide an exceptional user experience.
Benefits of Cisco IOS XE include:
