As more businesses, educators, and governments adopt additional cloud applications and cloud data storage, the performance of connectivity to the cloud has become a critical component of overall network performance. At the same time, ever-increasing network security requirements make it prohibitive for organizations to connect to cloud services utilizing the public Internet.
