Challenges:

However, extending network and security policies across heterogeneous hypervisors, clouds, and application frameworks such as VMs, containers, and bare metal presented a challenge. The client was finding it difficult to integrate and monitor physical and cloud data centers across the globe using a single monitoring tool while also ensuring zero-touch provisioning (ZTP). Additionally, they found it difficult to manage network security because their IT infrastructure was equipped with a single-perimeter firewall.

The client wanted to migrate their existing physical network to a new SDDC setup and integrate third-party vendor solutions such as Palo Alto and F5 the with software-defined network (SDN).
