Networking

Every day we work on networked devices, sharing data and information – nowadays, a networking infrastructure is vital for every business.

Wired or wireless, the minimum requirement is the ability to support any operational activity; the goal is to ensure high levels of performance, scalability, security and service continuity.

Providing access to applications for mobile users in different locations involves a significant level of complexity.

The Software Defined Network (SDN) paradigm in the WAN domain enables “carrier independent” geographic networks and lower management costs by unifying management and orchestration, whether in the cloud or on premise.

The Software Defined Network (SDN) paradigm for LANs enables networks to be managed by an SDN controller, which serves as a single central management point.

The central principle is that the software is separate from the hardware, so applications, controllers and devices can be deployed in different physical locations.
This provides higher speed and flexibility, greater security and a fully customisable network infrastructure.

Datacenter infrastructures need high throughput capacity, low latencies, and redundancy.

Core enterprise business traffic transits on the access and aggregation switches: the network infrastructure must ensure critical communications,such as access to company services like ERP, MRP, application servers and databases, etc.

5G ensures continuous availability and bandwidth speed, making it reliable and high-performance.

Cellular connectivity makes it possible to activate production sites – such as new stores or mobile construction sites – from day one. In contrast, terrestrial connectivity can take months to become fully operational.

OT networks are increasingly being integrated with traditional IT networks, as business tools need to have, in real time, productivity under control at all times.

This integration involves choosing technology solutions and models that prioritise data security and business continuity.

These monitoring and analysis solutions greatly simplify the management of complex networks, ensuring visibility, flexibility and ease of integration with other tools, such as Network Management System (NMS).
