PRESSURES ON THE NETWORK ARE GROWING
LAN Challenges
• New applications
• Voice, video and data convergence
• Mobility and access
• Cost reduction
• 1G/10G migration
Data Centre Changes
• Complex architectures
• Virtualization & 10G migration
• Time-to-service and management
• SAAS, PAAS, IAAS and cloud
• Business continuity
IT Requirements
• Convergence
• New cost and budget limitations
• IT and business alignment
• Green IT
• Management and reporting
Security Issues
• Complex and piecemeal
• Regulatory compliance, incl. HIPAA, PCI, and others
• Zero-day protection
• Better OpEx
• Integrate into architecture
Current network status quo leaves networking too complex,rigid, costly, and unable to accommodate business change
