Digital disruption is the new normal. Organisations of all sizes in all industries are embracing digital technologies to meet the needs of a changing workplace and customer base. Mobility, the Internet of things (IOT), cloud computing, big data, social media and digital transformation are prime catalysts for this new era. Taken together, they deliver a message that is clear and powerful: There is no more business as usual these days.
That characterisation - no more business as usual - also applies to the underlying networks that support and enable this new era. Legacy network architectures built for the client-server era were not designed to meet the needs of today's mobile/IOT/cloud-enabled organisations and their customers. Where do they fall short? Practically everywhere: performance, visibility, agility, bandwidth, security and complexity.
Users - and that category increasingly includes IOT devices - don't care whether they are on a wired, wireless or mobile network: They care that they have unfettered and secure access at any time from any location using any device, with zero tolerance for downtime, latency or any other gaps affecting their ability to do what they want, when they want to do it.
