Hi friend,
Even for seasoned IT professionals, the cloud can still feel a little…well, nebulous. It’s become a catch-all for nearly everything in tech—from SaaS licensing and collaborative tools to streaming and infrastructure.
And in many ways, that’s accurate.
The cloud isn’t just a tool—it’s a foundational shift. It touches everything: software, hardware, networks, and the way we build and scale business. So, it’s no surprise that one of the most frequent questions we get is about the blurred line between cloud computing and cloud networking.
They’re often used interchangeably, but they’re not the same.
In one of our most-read articles, we demystify the distinction, explore the two types of cloud networks, and explain how cloud networking can reduce costs, improve security posture, and unlock new levels of productivity.
If it’s been a while since you revisited the fundamentals, if your organization is about to make its next cloud move, or if you’re looking for a resource to share with your users, this is a great place to sharpen your perspective.
