Of course, the simplest form of ensuring network performance was always to use dedicated transmission services - from T1/E1 to Sonet/SDH links - between sites. The next stage of evolution and and the first of virtualization was the introduction of packet-based services - including frame relay, ATM, MPLS, and IP-based networks, both "private IP" and Internet-based.
Moving other services into "the cloud" now provides yet another excellent opportunity for a great performance per price increase. However, you are now faced with a combination of two "unknowns." There's the the access network and its performance coupled with the cloud-based service and its performance in a virtualized environment.
