In a world of constant technological evolution, we still find many companies clinging to traditional networking solutions. It’s time to take the next step toward innovation and adapt to the technological advancements available . In this post, we’ll explore the importance of implementing next-generation networks , the common mistakes companies make, and how ThousandEyes, along with SD-WAN, can provide fundamental support to IT departments .
Today, approximately 90% of companies and organizations worldwide operate using traditional data network models , believing that what has worked well in the past will continue to be effective in the future. However, this mindset is hindering the evolution and expansion of businesses into new horizons. Examples of leading companies like Amazon, Netflix, Apple, and Coca-Cola, which have used technological innovation to position themselves in the market and continue growing , show us how digital transformation is essential for achieving success.
According to La Repubblica, ” The COVID-19 pandemic has further boosted internet consumption, increasing by 19.5% since its onset .” This reveals that networking technology has the potential to reach every corner of the world via the internet, and it is crucial that businesses seize this opportunity to grow and expand. However, many organizations still do not understand the value of investing in digital and technological tools that can reduce operating and infrastructure costs. It is necessary to overcome the fear of change and explore the opportunities that the new era of SD-WAN and other digital solutions can offer.
SD-WAN and ThousandEyes solutions
Currently, companies often rely on point-to-point connections via MPLS links, intranets, extranets, and dedicated international lines, which can be costly and limiting. It’s time to consider a shift and adopt internet connections , which, although public, can offer significant benefits . Adopting software-based network infrastructures (SDN and SD-WAN) can provide a secure, reliable, and stable end-to-end connection, essential for information security.
By combining these software-defined networks with monitoring tools like ThousandEyes, more efficient and responsive management of potential network impacts is achieved. ThousandEyes offers a graphical interface that allows for the clear and visual display of metrics, statuses, and alerts. This speeds up the identification of the root cause of problems, reducing analysis times from hours or days to minutes. The combination of SD-WAN and ThousandEyes provides improved application performance, enhancing the employee experience with work tools, voice and video applications, and ensuring optimal connectivity with colleagues and clients.
My experience of over four years studying SD-WAN and ThousandEyes has led me to understand that this combination represents the future of business growth. I have witnessed how ThousandEyes has become an essential tool for identifying and resolving faults and incidents in reduced timeframes . Previously, troubleshooting network issues required exhaustive investigation using various methods. With ThousandEyes, we have achieved a remarkable level of efficiency by gaining a rapid, graphical view of the network.
