Challenges
The growth of smart digital workplace is being driven by multiple trends, which we believe will intensify because of the benefits delivered and requirements met. These trends include:
MOBILE IS EVERYTHING
Personal mobile devises are replacing standard office equipment with unified communications and collaboration (UCC) tools driving this growing trend. Connected furniture is helping personalise workspaces and smart lighting is reducing energy costs. Businesses are achieving a robust, scaleable networks through routing, VLANs and other advancements.
IOT AVALANCHE
All network devices must be individually connected, secured and managed. The network must scale to support these devices and their usage, delivering lower cost of deployment and operation. Tighter Security dictated by growing threats, increased regulations and compliance are key drivers for greater security and control.
CLOUD EVERYWHERE
IT infrastructure is increasingly migrating to the cloud to provide flexibility, efficiency and simplicity. This extends across all layers of the technology stack, from core infrastructure to business apps. The network must support various models of public and private cloud
