For your clients to attain the network performance their enterprises need, point them to these nine best practices:
1 Plan for continued bandwidth growth
Your clients will need to prepare for 5G mobility, the internet of things (IoT), video conferencing, collaboration tools, etc. — all of which will accelerate bandwidth demand.
To achieve the network performance your business needs now and going forward, consider implementing these nine best practices:
1 Plan for continued bandwidth growth
The embrace of 5G mobility, the internet of things (IoT), video conferencing, collaboration tools, etc., means network bandwidth demand will keep growing. You’ll need to anticipate and budget accordingly.
In my last post, I described four challenges to network performance that your enterprise needs to overcome network complexity, achieve network visibility, and stay competitive — growth in data traffic and data speed, the arrival of 5G, intensifying network complexity, and heightened risk of security breaches.
So let’s look at some the key technologies that address these challenges, often by working in concert:
Do your clients strain to keep their data networks at the performance levels necessary to stay competitive ?
Four network performance challenges
Your clients may be facing one or all of these:
1 More data traffic and faster, too. Annual global IP traffic is increasing by 24% per year and will hit 3.3 zettabytes (3.3 trillion gigabytes) by 2021, when broadband speeds will have nearly doubled .
The ways we use and communicate information are changing so fast that it can be tough to keep your enterprise network at the performance levels the business needs to stay competitive . So I’m going to warn you about four challenges to network performance you cannot afford to ignore:
1 Growth in data traffic – and data speed
Annual global IP traffic is increasing by 24% per year . Yearly data traffic will hit 3.3 zettabytes – that is, 3.3 trillion gigabytes – by 2021, up from “just” 1.2 zettabytes in 2016.
Meanwhile, broadband speeds will nearly double by 2021 , reaching 53.0 Mbps, up from 27.5 Mbps in 2016.
