Connecting your network was never the hard part — controlling it everywhere is. In this episode of Doodles with Scott, Lumen sits down with Alkira SVP of Product Scott Yow to break down how Alkira extends a single, unified control plane beyond the Lumen network — across every cloud, SaaS platform, branch, data center, and partner ecosystem.
Using simple whiteboard-style breakdowns, Scott walks through how Alkira’s Multi-Cloud Gateway turns network management from a patchwork of individual connections into one programmable system — built on intent-based networking, policy and segmentation anywhere, automation, analytics, and open APIs. The result: consistent policy, dynamic traffic optimization, and total visibility, whether you’re on-net with Lumen or reaching every cloud and region beyond it.
