For years, network and security teams were tasked with connecting and protecting a type of organization that no longer exists: one with a clearly defined perimeter, where employees worked from the office and applications resided in a single data center. That world no longer exists, and it’s time our architecture caught up. Why unifying Networking and Security matters The way we work has changed...
The rise of digital transformation has led organizations to operate in highly distributed environments, where users, applications, and networks are spread across the cloud, data centers, and remote offices. In this context, traditional perimeter-based security models have become obsolete. They assume that anyone already inside the network perimeter is inherently safe (“implicit trust”). But the...
As enterprises expand their branch office presence while facing increasing pressure to control IT spending, traditional network architectures are proving unsustainable. Legacy deployments built on expensive dedicated circuits and multiple standalone appliances generate mounting costs and operational complexity that hold organizations back. Cost Optimized SD-Branch connectivity emerges as the...
Large and medium-sized companies have been implementing SD-WAN solutions for some years now, and recent studies confirm that the SD-WAN market is still booming. According to a report by the IDC, the market will grow by about 19% annually until 2025. There are several reasons why companies might choose to implement an SD-WAN solution, with the following being the most relevant: Optimize network...
In the past year, COVID-19 has forced many companies to accelerate their digitalization process. Employees have had to perform their duties from remote locations (mainly from home) in places that, up until now, were outside the corporate perimeter. This has posed a great many challenges because of the multiple types of existing lines and connections (xDSL, FTTH, 4G…), which, in addition, being...
We’re still in the midst of digesting what could be termed the “first decade of cloud”, and yet it is already evoking the relentless – though, at the same time, typical of our natural condition as human beings – need to unveil the next “technological futurism” that awaits us: what’s next? Although it is only relatively recently that we have settled into this young and “digitally transformed” era...
