Better, Stronger, Faster:Agile Networks Build Competitive Advantage

Chris Janson - July 2015

ACCELERATING INNOVATION!

“We won’t experience 100 years of progress in the 21st century — it will be more like 20,000 years of progress (at today’s rate).” Ray Kurzweil

1903 2000 2015

Yet technology will continue to change. Businesses can not keep pace through capital investment. • Minimize overlays; merge

applications on a unified network• Reduce CAPEX• Lower costs of moves and changes

HOW WILL ENTERPRISES KEEP PACE WITH TECHNOLOGY?

Businesses need:• ICT infrastructure to work. Always. • Security: in the network and the data center.

Safe from theft and intrusion• Must adapt rapidly and easily to changing

business needs; scale up/scale down• Traffic classification: applications need

specific treatment

Open Interoperable

ENTERPRISE ICT NEEDS TO ADAPT ON SEVERAL DIMENSIONS

Multi-TenancyScale

CLOUD

SOCIAL

MOBILTY

ANALYTICS

Interact with customers, suppliers, employees with speed previously impossible

Connect with enterprise stakeholders anytime and from anyplace

Match business strategies and product development closely to customer trends

Ensure business continuity, data protection and scalability through virtualized compute & store resources

AGILE AND RESPONSIVE

BUILDING AN AGILE ICT INFRASTRUCTURE

Challenges• Insourcing or outsourcing?

• Network control, security, and cost

• Complexity in provisioning and scaling

• Limited connectivity and application performance over the WAN

• Non-interoperable silos

WHAT DO THESE TWO ENTERPRISES HAVE IN COMMON?

Enterprise Networking

Technology Requirements• Private network or managed service buy • Secure, resilient, and scalable• Automated operations• Cost optimized

FACTORS AFFECTING ICT INSOURCE/OUTSOURCE MIX

ENTERPRISE CLOUD AND DCI

Trends1. Increasing volume and value of data demands high speed,

low cost connectivity between data centers

2. Extending private clouds to virtual private and public clouds

Requirements• Reach: campus to long haul • 10’s Gbps connectivity, often 100Gbps,

special cases >1Tbps• Sync and async DC to DC and multi-site to DC• Highly scalable IP, Ethernet and wavelength services

CLOSING THOUGHTS

1.Think of one technology purchase from the past year. How long do you expect to use it?

2.Look at your firm’s capital culture. Do you favor owning things or paying as you go?

3.Does your capital culture and ICT strategy match your enterprise goals?
