15 December, 2017With more than one-third of IT Professionals citing ‘moving faster’ as their top goal for 2018, and an overwhelming 99% of IT and business decision makers noticing an increasing pace of change in today’s connected world, it’s clear that speed has become intrinsically linked to business success, writes Michael Segal, the AVP of strategy at NETSCOUT. For companies looking to compete in the digital economy, this pace of transformation is being driven by their customers and requires speedy software releases, agility through cloud services, and automation.
10 November, 2017While in the midst of a seismic industry shift, the tech world can get caught up in a “how we do it” mentality. However, what’s sometimes lost is the value to customers and partners. The software-defined WAN (SD-WAN) revolution is no different, writes Nav Chandler, the senior director of service provider marketing at Silver Peak.
17 October, 2017Communications service providers (CSPs) are now looking to help large enterprises and public-sector organisations transform the edge of their networks, which now require seamless cloud connectivity and app-performance integration, writes Atchison Frazer, the worldwide head of marketing at Talari. One area of innovation lies in the implementation of NFV strategies or network functions virtualisation (NFV). For example, if a carrier supplies a circuit to an enterprise client – such as multi protocol label switching (MPLS) – they would also like to offer the optimisation of that circuit as a subscription service. Then, the CSP can work with best-of-breed WAN-edge network innovators to create VNFs or virtual network functions of typical edge-network services, such as software defined-wide area network (SD-WAN) or WAN-optimisation. These virtual network functions (VNFs) can be service-chained together to be exposed to end users as one unified service.
06 October, 2017In the Part 1 of the article, George Mulhern stated that Software-defined Networking (SDN) is the biggest paradigm shift in enterprise networking, possibly since the Internet, and that one of its most prominent changes is the transformation of the Wide Area Network (WAN). (more…)
05 October, 2017During a recent House of Lords debate, Martha Lane Fox claimed the UK has been “sleepwalking” through digital change and urged for more to be done to promote digital understanding. The pace of digital change is increasing. Enterprises need to adjust to keep up with rapidly changing technologies. (more…)
24 February, 2017Many industry players will point to the time it will take for standards to develop as a reason to hurry ahead with virtualisation projects but this might generate hurdles in achieving interoperability in the future. (more…)
25 January, 2017As communications service providers (CSPs) refashion their networks and operations processes for the cloud era, software defined networking (SDN) has been somewhat overshadowed by its complementary technology, network functions virtualisation (NFV). (more…)
