Readying Your Organization’s Network for Modernization
To be ready for digital transformation, a network must be prepared to meet the demands of emerging technologies and services.
Scale and speed. Emerging technologies such as Internet of Things (IoT) will result in an increase in the number of endpoints. IT infrastructure must keep up with constantly changing applications, services and business processes.
Cloud integration. Hybrid clouds and evolving cloud applications require a high level of network performance and bandwidth.
Simplicity. As IT becomes more integrated with business models, IT teams need to simplify and automate network operations and lifecycle management to prevent wasting time with routine management tasks.
Security. An organization’s network is the first line of defense against emerging cybersecurity threats posed from increased mobile traffic, cloud storage and IoT technologies.
How to Build a Strong Network Infrastructure
To take advantage of emerging technologies, organizations need to invest in robust network bandwidth and fast cloud connections.
Network management systems. Investing in a network management system is a key element in network optimization, application performance, reliability and
operations staff productivity. A strong network can increase compatibility and support with emerging network services.
Design. Consider the physical space available for equipment racks, power, cooling and wire runs
required in each case when planning for installations or upgrades.
Assess. Check the health of your network and its underlying infrastructure, develop a strategy for what your organization wants to use the network for and then create a network roadmap.
Wireless strategy. Determine what kind of access points are needed, how many to deploy and where they should be placed. A strong wireless network will increase agility, efficiency, flexibility, security and network control.
Manage your network with industry-leading software from IBM, Cisco, Ivanti and more.
