As I see it, changes are afoot in the networking world. With explosive growth in mobility and increased adoption of cloud computing, unified communications and collaboration services, along with a change in consumer behavior, your organization will have to change how you think about information technology today.
Your personal experience at home is changing with an increased use of rich media such as sharing photos in the cloud, connecting to your friends via Facebook to watching your favorite TV shows on your iPad. Consumers have been able to digitize their personal life and now they want to have those same experiences in the workplace.To accommodate this shift, your IT staff will be challenged to keep up with the translation of employee’s personal expectations into their work environment.
Additional stress is added to an organization’s network with the need to keep up with today’s digital life, which requires more flexibility and bandwidth requirements to support new content and applications. Let me break down the five key trends that will continue to move through organizations like a volcano on the brink of erupting—putting strain on your network’s flexibility and bandwidth:
1. Mobility
2. Consumerization of IT
3. Pace of change
4. Globalization meets centralization
5. Prevalence of the cloud
