Combine the two, and you have what is known as network throughput.

For distributed application architectures, especially those leveraging the cloud, performance issues can be hard to track down because it’s not easy to observe all the components in the system simultaneously. Performance issues are typically diagnosed from the application perspective and fall into two big buckets: storage and network.

In this, the third post in our interconnected enterprise blog series, we’ll be focusing on the reasons interconnection can make or break your cloud vision and strategies for interconnecting clouds.

If “instant articles” take off, it’s going to change things for our customers, which means it will change things for us.
