Aviatrix, the pioneer of Intelligent Cloud Networking™, announced the launch of a new podcast, Altitude: The Unsung Heroes of Cloud Transformation, hosted by Bryan “Woody” Woodworth, Sr. Principal Solutions Strategist at Aviatrix and former Microsoft Global Black Belt in networking and security. The series delves into the evolving world of cloud networking through interviews with IT analysts, Aviatrix customers, subject matter experts, and thought leaders sharing how to bring cloud transformation efforts to life.
According to Forrester, enterprises have already migrated 45% of their total application portfolio to a public cloud. As this migration of business-critical applications to the cloud continues, IT teams are pressed to overcome application downtime, poor performance, lack of visibility, security risks, or cost overruns. Altitude gives voice to the people who have transformed the traditional IT on-prem framework to overcome these challenges and drive business innovation and agility.
“Before joining Aviatrix, I had many conversations with business leaders who were ready to go all in on cloud, but were unsure how to navigate the transformation,” said Woodworth. “This podcast is a great opportunity to showcase the innovators and leaders behind those cloud transformations and bring their stories to life.”
