Why it’s time to transform your Network Infrastructure

As organizations globally, across industry segments, gear towards digital transformation many of them realize that it’s going to be a daunting task unless they adapt to more holistic approach to this transformation since company’s legacy networks usually has a single ingress/egress points to take care of the organization wide security.

Traditional infrastructure always had an integrated control and data plane, hence configuration changes had to be made manually which was time consuming and lacked agility. Network issues are also usually problematic to resolve over the traditional WANs, because legacy networks were designed for client-server environments, in which the majority of traffic went from corporate Data centres to the branch locations.

Today, users are connecting from off-campus locations, branches, discrete Mobile devices (Mobile Phones, Tablets, etc.). Further, adaptation of IoT, cloud computing coupled with “Work from Home” policies (which would only get further intensified due to unpredictable Covid-19 situation) all being network centric have created many new entry points and shifted the traffic to the edge of the network thereby creating unforeseen security challenges that directly impact the overall network performance.

This would compel many companies to place more data at the edge of their networks without having to compromise the security of the data. While this may sound simple, it’s going to be a quiet a task in practical terms as it requires rigorous enforcement around access & data compliance across the organization which will need board-level resolutions, at least for large corporations and public limited companies. Having said, even the most stringent security measures are useless if you have an underperforming network.

Therefore companies should invest time & money in transforming their network in order to succeed in their digital journey, those that don’t transform will struggle because application performance and client experience will also suffer, and the likelihood of breaches are bound to grow exponentially.
