How it used to be When I started my career in networking, servers were down the hall or in the campus data center. Most resources were local, accessed remotely over some sort of leased line, or at worst, over a site-to-site back to the organization’s private data center. Yes, of course, I’m oversimplifying here.

In this blog, we will explore what static routes are, how they differ from dynamic routes, and how to configure them on routers like Cisco devices. This feature in networks predicts and stabilizes the topology. This characteristic makes them efficient for routers with limited processing capabilities.

Most organizations have a cloud strategy, this could augment data centers or replace them entirely, but regardless of the organizational goals, the network is increasingly important when cloud is being adopted. Flow incorporates a sampling configuration, which allows a specific percentage of conversations to export from the device.

Based on the data sources used, these devices can provide deep visibility into the individual user context and session and what resources and types of applications users are accessing. If the VPN gateways cannot generate flow or Syslog with traffic, the next richest data comes from the edge routers or switches near the VPN devices.

That means making sure the wide area network (WAN) that connects branch offices, data centers, cloud services and SaaS applications can handle the connectivity needs of digitally empowered global organizations. Particularly with SaaS, many business critical applications are no longer hosted in on-site data centers.
