Virtual networking will drive NaaS evolution, and cloud-hosted security options will explode.
What's the single most important thing that enterprises should know about networking in 2023? Forget all that speeds-and-feeds crap you hear from vendors. The answer is that networking is now, and forever, linked to business applications, and those applications are linked now to the way that we use the Internet and the cloud. We're changing how we distribute and deliver business value via networking, and so network technology will inevitably change too, and this is a good time to look at what to expect. ...?more
With scalability, connectivity, and reliability in mind during the network design phase, companies can safeguard security without sacrificing convenience to their clients.
Today's organizations use an extensive array of IT resources to perform their daily functions. Historically, it was common practice to host these resources in an on-premises data center or a colocation facility. Over the years, technology has evolved, and many companies developed a common network framework that connects on-premises and cloud resources. To avoid costly mistakes in the implementation of a hybrid network, focus on avoiding major mistakes within the three most important factors of the design phase. ...?more
It's been said a number of times and it's worth saying again: there is no return to things as they were before the outbreak of the pandemic.
