A few weeks ago, we asked @LadyNetwkr, @ned1313 & @ioshints how they see hybrid networks being designed today. “Poorly”. “In an unorganized way”. “Google-based trial, fail, repeat”. Catch up on the roundtable below. bluecatnetworks.com/blog/it-pros-d… #NetworkVIP @awertkin

Next week, join @ioshints, @LadyNetwkr, @Ned1313 & @awertkin for our 4th Critical Conversations on Critical Infrastructure roundtable. Here’s the topic up for debate: Should network architects design your cloud environment? #CCoCI #NetworkVIP bluecatnetworks.com/certainty/?utm…

@awertkin @phoebegoh @BlueCatNetworks Technical innovation can push the business forward, but that's usually after we have satisfied the basic needs of doing business. Get your fundamentals right before you start getting too creative. #CCoCI #NetworkVIP

@techstringy @BlueCatNetworks It's an opportunity for everyone involved to learn and mostly it's an opportunity for IT to be closer than ever to the innovation that is driving the company's strategy. #CCoCI #NetworkVIP

Q9: Last but definitely not least, what would YOU like to ask the community, when it comes to improving how cloud and traditional infrastructure teams work together? #CCoCI #NetworkVIP

@chrisjws_codes @phoebegoh @BlueCatNetworks Don't companies exist so we can deploy tech? Seriously, agreed -- but now the lines of business are deploying tech directly and I do think, in order to address resliance, security, governance, cost, their is work that must be done to allow that. #CCoCI #NetworkVIP

Q8: Second last Q! Share with us your top 3 tips for better interfacing with your cloud / on-prem counterparts. Can be tech-related, org. structure-related, relationship management-related, etc. #CCoCI #NetworkVIP

Q7: What Qs should IT be asking the cloud teams? What Qs should cloud teams be asking their IT teams? #CCoCI #NetworkVIP

@BlueCatNetworks Future proofing. Don't just build for today, ask questions about capacity in a few years, ask what happens if you move a service from one provider to another, etc #CCoCI #NetworkVIP

@BlueCatNetworks Less so now, but that developers are anti-social, can't talk coherently, are a bunch of NERDS, when in fact it's as diverse a group of people as any profession out there #CCoCI #NetworkVIP

Q5: Share with us one misconception about your profession that you wish didn’t exist, or is not accurate. (Don’t forget to add what it is you do!) #CCoCI #NetworkVIP

Q4: What MUST you keep in mind when architecting a hybrid environment? What are the key differences, philosophies, tech, etc? #CCoCI #NetworkVIP

Q3: Who ought to be involved in planning for hybrid-cloud environments? Who accidentally gets left out? #CCoCI #NetworkVIP
