Enterprise WAN in 2023 Enterprise networking in 2023 is very much the same. To succeed as an engineer in this new network, and to successfully manage the infrastructure and services that deliver applications to people, we must rid ourselves of two-dimensional thinking. In other words, both events were all about cloud networking.
