Kiran: The biggest transition we’re seeing is how networks can help [enterprises] manage change. A lot of enterprises have spent quite a bit of money on what they thought would be their architecture for the next ten years and suddenly, that architecture had to really shift overnight. -When we engage with CIOs and partners, now they are looking at how flexible [network architecture] can be and how it can enable them to manage change better and faster, without adding a lot of cost. We’re seeing the shift happen toward as a service delivery and cloud. [Businesses] are all used to consuming apps from the cloud. Now, they want the network to be the same -- [they want] the network to be as simple to consume as any application from the cloud.
