Large enterprise level businesses, or smaller businesses that are beginning to expand, face major problems of coordinating and transferring data over vastly spaced geographical locations. In order to connect these data centers, or branches of the enterprise together, so they can share the same software/application, the network is extended using the services of a Wide Area Network or a WAN. WANs are, however, quickly becoming outdated and most companies are looking for something more efficient and cost effective. By Marcus Doran – VP and GM at Rahi Systems, Europe.

While many of people use Wi-Fi when they are out an about, there is much precautionary advice about using unsecured public Wi-Fi, which could allow a hacker sitting either a few yards away from them, or even miles away to gain access to their laptops, tablets and smartphones to steal passwords and sensitive data. By Michael Wakley, CEO of LeakSafe.

Corporate networks are being forced to reckon with amplified levels of traffic as technology changes and advances. In addition to monitoring and fortifying the network against possible cyberattacks, IT departments have to factor in the growing use of personal devices in the workplace, and third-party applications for business management. Having the ability to access network traffic is an important component, but it’s only the first step in keeping your network secure. You also need to make sure all of the data you do have access to is being distributed to the tools that can analyze this traffic properly, which is why Test Access Points (TAPs) are crucial. By Alastair Hartrup, CEO, Network Critical.

As enterprise IT estates adopt cloud services, enterprise networking has become an increasingly complex challenge. Moving to the cloud provides greater agility, scalability and flexibility for networking environments. However, there is a need to maintain application speed and agility in the cloud which consequently does not tolerate sub-optimal network performance. Technical issues such as these can spiral into further business problems including a poor customer experience. By Todd Kiehn, VP Product Management – GTT Communications.

The large and complex datacentre has, for many years, been the backbone of computing networks - a central core to process data, information and transactions. However, recent research from Gartner suggests that, by 2022, 75% of enterprise-generated data will be processed outside the datacentre, at ‘the Edge’. By Alexander Mikoyan – Team Leader for Large Enterprises at HPE UK&I.

Legacy networking is focused on connecting the user, but the future of networking is in connecting industries. It has been forecasted by Gartner that there will be over 20 billion connected devices globally by 2020. As we move into the era of connected devices, networking needs to be agile, flexible and hyper-scalable to support transformation across industry verticals. By Mark Daley, Director, Digital Strategy and Business Development, Epsilon.

The benefits of smart infrastructure are huge. By 2025, cities that deploy smart mobility applications have the potential to cut commuting times by 15 to 20 percent on average, according to McKinsey research. Yet without high network availability and reliability, these benefits are unattainable. This applies to every network component – even the enclosures which house key IoT hardware. Andy Bird, Director at GTT Wireless, reveals the role ruggedised enclosures play in outdoor wireless projects, and the key capabilities needed to achieve full protection of mission-critical hardware in challenging conditions.
