Cloud anywhere:
Azure for hybrid and multicloud environments
9
There are many ways to create a
reliable, yet cost-effective, network
that can act as the backbone of a
hybrid solution. Networks depend on
several areas of functionality. When you
think about your network architecture
in the cloud, it's important that you
focus on the following areas:
• Connect and extend: Businesses
need to connect existing resources
and extend their own networks by
using technology such as VPNs,
ExpressRoute, and Virtual WAN.
• Protect: Any connection could be
an entry point to the network,
so your company should protect
itself with the best tools available,
such as DDoS protection, firewalls,
and web application firewalls.
• Deliver: A great customer experience
requires a network built for application
delivery, with Azure Front Door and
Application Gateway technologies.
In this e-book we focus only on the most
common scenarios for connecting and
extending your existing network, as well
as one basic service for application delivery.
