How Adaptive Network Solutions Can Address Business Challenges

Published by The Nation on Sat, 07 Dec 2019


In todays business landscape, an enterprise IT mandate is characterized by rapidly increasing pressure to deliver the network speeds, technology, and expertise to increase employee productivity, support diverse devices, and provide exceptional customer experiences. One of the strategic ways to make this vision a reality for enterprises is to deploy network technologies as an enabler. However, the existing enterprise-wide area network (WAN) is found inadequate to support the ever-expanding demands for data, applications, and bandwidth. In order to deliver these experiences at scale, IT departments are looking to build adaptive networks using tools such as software-defined WAN (SD-WAN) solutions.Delivery of Expected Networking Experience and Legacy Technology:There was a time not so long ago where it was possible to meet the immediate enterprise needs using purpose-built wide area networks that were inflexible. Today, top-level enterprises are operating in an environment with an enormous amount of data from multiple sources. Naturally, this has shortened the duration for processing, analyzing, and acting on this information. One of the ways to address this changing business demand is to evolve the individual, static networks to integrated, dynamic platforms.Static WANs can be transformed into programmable platforms using software-defined solutions. This simplifies the process of analyzing, prioritizing and delivering workloads for the team members over secure networks that are scalable, flexible, and capable of adapting promptly to shifting operational priorities. For example, SD-WAN creates an overlay network to eliminate the need to manage multiple access providers. This network is decoupled from the WAN, hardware, and links. The teams can make use of all WAN connectionsand choose the best available path dynamically by managing traffic at the application layer.By using adaptive networking solutions, procurement of bandwidth and related network functions is possible for the enterprises, in an on-demand manner. It is also possible to ensure faster response by centrally defining, configuring and managing network policy administration.Todays Enterprise and Adaptive Network:Transitioning into SDN powered solutions allows IT leaders to turn technology into a significant competitive advantage by reducing networking complexity. Mentioned below are some of the top factors influencing the IT decision-makers to focus on building adaptive networks.More effective data harnessing: Data is the nucleus of all interactions in todays business environment. Enabling real-time adaptive network response becomes much easier for businesses by using SD-enabled solutions. As an example, this can drastically reduce the analytic request queues for an organization. As data-driven decision making becomes more critical for enterprises, it is possible to make a significant difference with the help of a network capable of accessing and analyzing packet flows and reacting quickly to changing requirements at the network level.Improved operations and visibility:Better operational tools and visibility leads to higher efficiency and control. IT teams using SD-WAN toolsare more likely to be able to deliver better network-based results within a shorter timespan. With software-defined architecture, IT administrators have access to tools capable of application performance monitoring, real-time changes, and adapting network performance according to the most important priorities of the organization.Closing knowledge gaps: More and more enterprise IT leaders are now enjoying the benefits of expertise, technology, and tools to upgrade networks by teaming up with providers of managed and co-managed SD-WAN solutions. This helps them overcome the obstacles of tight IT budgetsand the lack of specific in-house talent.Lean IT teams: New approaches such as network functions virtualization (NFV)and software-defined networkingcan be critical to alleviating the fast-emerging IT-focused human capital challenges.Supports technology innovation: Multiple network functions can be virtualized by adaptive networking. Virtualization of functions such as load balancing, security, and routing onto a single device creates the required efficiencies for the team to function across the enterprise as strategic advisors.
