I think if I was to say something that could be improved, it would be a multi-data center nature of the implementation. Meaning, having an active-active data center with multiple entrance-exit points. I think that feature could be improved to provide a kind of anycast gateway solution into the functionality that would make it a lot more flexible and versatile. Maybe also making the solution a bit more like the NSX-T from VMware, more on the logical part of the solution, like micro-segmentation and the ability to have a distributed firewall across the whole solution, to implement it in an easier way than they currently do with the security aspect of the solution.

What is software-defined networking? Software-defined networking (SDN) is a new technology designed to make your network more agile and centrally controlled. While today’s networks are mostly static, slow to change, and dedicated to single services, SDN gives you the ability to create a network that can handle many different services in a dynamic fashion, allowing you to consolidate multiple services into one common infrastructure. Essentially, an SDN’s network decouples network control...
