A streamlined, centrally-managed approach to branch connectivity appeals to me.
Shoving the whole paradigm into a proprietary vendor-specific black box does not.
Part of me thinks it's the necessary and good next step forward. As ecosystems become more complex, it makes sense to outsource problem spaces to specialists that inevitably emerge to fill evolutionary niches.
Part of me thinks it's a dangerous trap, ripe with short-term gains but setting us up for long-term pains, as we slowly cede our standards-based, "knowable" infrastructure to tightly integrated, proprietary black boxes.
Thoughts?
