Google and Cisco have extended their technology development relationship to make it easier to marry cloud-based resources with SD-WAN command and control.
The expanded technology agreement is centered around a cloud-based network management system Google rolled out this week that promises to let customers configure and manage multiple on-prem and public cloud networks. The new service, called Network Connectivity Center, offers a central console for connecting and watching over multiple networking aspects, including traffic flows, performance metrics, and VPN connectivity.
