Performance
Today’s businesses are powered by a variety of cloud-based applications and services with distinct characteristics and quality of service (QoS) requirements. Some applications, such as video collaboration solutions, are bandwidth-intensive and delay-sensitive. Other applications, like CRM solutions, are more tolerant of packet loss and latency. Network architects must find ways to prioritize, shape, and efficiently route traffic to deliver the right service-level agreement (SLA) for the right application at the right time.
