The adoption of cloud, driven in large part by IT leaders looking to maximise value, is one of the largest transformations IT has ever seen. Now, internal applications that once ran solely in the data centre, are being migrated to Azure, AWS, and Google Cloud Platform. Users are accessing internal applications from their favourite cafés and on multiple devices, expecting a seamless, cloud-like experience each time.
So why do enterprises still rely on incumbent technology that depends on the use of appliances anchored to the data centre?
For 30 years enterprises used network-centric technology, meant to connect users to networks, as a means of limiting connectivity to apps. This worked well enough when there was a perimeter, but now we live in a perimeter-less world with apps running on cloud and users working from anywhere.
