“The transformation to cloud is being driven by CEOs to deliver business agility,” said Steve Mullaney, CEO of Aviatrix. “The cloud network infrastructure can’t rely on the horrible, complex operational model of the 1990s data center to deliver on that agility. Enterprises need the visibility and security controls they had on-prem, but with the operational simplicity and automation of cloud. Only Aviatrix can deliver this value.”
