Every large organization and managed service provider (MSP) is on a journey to attain the critical tenets of cloud.  From self-service consumption to automation to pay-as-you-go economics, giants like AWS, Google and Microsoft are achieving massive benefits by adopting on-prem cloud solutions. In order to achieve competitive customer service, cloud service provider (CSP) networks must be agile, scalable, software-driven, cost-effective and able to address evolving business demands.

We’ve boiled down the five principles that CSPs use to design their web-scale networks. Find out how Cumulus Linux achieves all those principles, while significantly reducing cost and technical complexity.

"Research shows that more CSPs are using cloud technologies for their internal IT applications … [CSPs] understand the scalability, lower hardware costs, flexibility and agility that web-scale networking delivers… Modern OSs have capabilities to reduce complexity and help CSPs get up to speed."
