Once the teams have gained experience and confidence, they move to the second "production" phase, where some mission-critical workloads are moved onto the private clouds. The third phase involves the transition to geographically dispersed private cloud environments in multiple data centers and may include multivendor cloud platforms. In each of these phases, control of core network services is crucial.
