Network Management In The Age Of AI
For enterprises, how adopting innovative digital technologies has helped redefine businesses to achieve better outcomes and customer delight
Change is critical to growth. Especially if you’re running a business in today’s volatile market. The silver lining is that we are at the peak of innovation, moving forward from a decade filled with disruptions, catalysing transformations. Over the years, enterprise IT has evolved to play a more significant role in business. Innovation, macro-economic factors, unexpected disruptions, and other internal and external factors have caused the change. Naturally, every organisation’s IT architecture has also evolved to adopt new technologies. Innovation has helped enterprises redefine their business, achieving better outcomes and increased customer delight.
In more recent times, the pandemic has left an ineffaceable impact on both the IT sector, as well as the businesses it supports. For enterprises, transforming their business operations has been a crucial step towards achieving business continuity in the face of disruption.
Managing the pace of change
Modernising IT infrastructure transforms the way your business functions. The IT networks drive the enterprise infrastructure by enabling connectivity between the several endpoints – your data centre, applications, IoT/IIoT sensors, and more. It is evident that IT adoption is complemented by network transformation.
Today’s network edge encapsulates hundreds of endpoint devices comprising hardware of different makes, serving users with different permissions, and in the case of IoT – performing automated functions with multiple security policies. Within the next 2 years it is estimated that more than 50% of data will be generated outside the data center or cloud, likely coming from the estimated 55 billion IoT devices connected worldwide. This explosion of data and connected devices requires a new IT network design or approach.
