As enterprises move faster on their digital transformation journeys, legacy network models are proving to be inadequate to support the demands of cloud, edge, AI, and machine learning (ML)-driven workloads. This implies that the shift from hardware-based infrastructure to agile, service-centric, Software-Defined Networking (SDN) environments is accelerating.
But along with this, the complexity of network management, technology orchestration, and data sovereignty is also increasing — Software-Defined Wide Area Networks (SD-WAN), Secure Access Service Edge (SASE), network functions virtualization (NFV), Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA), and hybrid networks — all require a more calculated and strategic approach to network planning. Moreover, with revenue from traditional hardware/services declining, there’s an urgent need for ecosystem players to rethink business models, diversify offerings, and move deeper into adjacent IT services.
