GEC NEWS WIRESDN, Wireless and Security and Internet of Things of Significant Importance
Allied Telesis has released its annual industry trends analysis and predictions report for 2016. In summary, the three key trending topics the Company unveiled include Secure Enterprise SDN, Wireless and Security and the Internet of Things (IoT).
Software-Defined Networks, or SDN, which have largely been deployed in carrier networks and data centers, will begin to see increasing relevance in the Enterprise as application vendors begin to leverage the capabilities of SDN to simplify business processes and deliver value to the Enterprise. C-level executives and technology managers will need to develop strategies for integrating SDN into their Enterprise networks, and with a strong emphasis on security.
The focus on wireless will move away from technology and performance and increasingly focus on unified management using a cloud-based platform of an organization’s infrastructure.
Next-generation security for organizations that operate and manage embedded networks will become as important as, if not more important than, the security of the organization’s Enterprise network.
According to Seiichiro Sato, Allied Telesis Director of Global Product Marketing, “As our world becomes increasingly connected, we are seeing the focus move from human-operated devices to embedded autonomous devices that deliver automation and efficiency.”
