This presentation explores Google Cloud's fully managed backbone solution, Cloud WAN, designed specifically for enterprise networks in the AI era. Learn how this solution leverages Google's planet-scale network infrastructure—the same that powers YouTube and Google Maps—to address traditional networking challenges like security inconsistencies, operational difficulties, and limited visibility. Discover how Cloud WAN provides any-to-any connectivity between branch offices, data centers, and multiple cloud providers, potentially reducing total cost of ownership by up to 40% while improving application performance. The talk introduces cross-site interconnect capabilities that offer Layer 2 connectivity across different locations and explains the importance of SD-WAN integration for optimizing cloud connectivity. Gain insights from success stories like Nestle that demonstrate Cloud WAN's benefits in stability, reliability, cost efficiency, and reduced latency. Product Manager Aniruddha Agharkar from Google Cloud Networking presents this comprehensive overview of how enterprises can streamline their network management through a unified Google Cloud console that integrates Cloud WAN with cross-site interconnects, SD-WAN appliances, and NCC Gateway.
