Arquitectura de redes: Pensando hacia el futuro

Network Architecture: Thinking towards the Future

The digital world and information technologies (IT) will not stop evolving. Population growth and digital connections have also brought about growth in demand for network architecture to support these advancements.

The COVID-19 pandemic left us important lessons in this regard. Distance learning, wider use of applications, business websites, and the need for distance working are just some of the things that have led us to reflect on where internet, networks and IT collaborations are headed.

One of the most interesting things about the future of network architecture is simplification.

Network simplification has to do with greater automation and increasingly intuitive processes that at the same time facilitate interconnections between devices and people.

Trends for a New Network Architecture

Network simplification needs to be analyzed according to the different trends expected to make it possible. A few of them appear below.

  • A Collaborative and Automated World:

Every day there are more devices, processes and connections that in turn increase the number of interactions among themselves and with humans. In other words, we have a cyber-physical system that generates more data every day. Soon this system will generate information constantly with sensors, computing capacity, and autonomous operation.

These systems, in turn, may complement information from their sensors with data from other devices in the same environment and in so doing will establish better communication between them.

  • Flexibility for the Labor Force:

Covid-19 showed us that working remotely is possible and that far from affecting business activities, it can result in many advantages. Nevertheless, a few requirements need to be met to complete the transition to working remotely, particularly in the field of security.

Although network architecture makes possible to operate away from a hub such as an office, it is also true that using personal devices and connections can make us more vulnerable to attacks.

  • Smart Connections among Devices:

Network simplification  cannot be understood without this concept. Actions that machines or devices can perform on their own thanks to voice recognition, por example, make them increasingly common and robust.

  • AI Enabled Operations:

Modern networks are undoubtedly growing in complexity and have greater scalability, a trend that will surely continue.  Network architecture  must therefore leverage Artificial Intelligence (AI) driven analyses to create smarter ideas.

So, for example, we could have network architecture to consolidate network security, reliability and privacy, while at the same time it constantly monitors network performance and takes preventive action to mitigate risks.

Another aspect leading to network simplification lies in leveraging AI and Machine Learning in order to automatically manage with minimal human intervention.

¿Por qué es fundamental la simplificación de redes desde la nube?

Why is network simplification through the cloud fundamental?

Do you want your business operations to be not only successful, but “accurate?” In this article learn about all the benefits of starting to simplify your network through the cloud. Let’s go!

According to IDC it was estimated that in 2021 cloud infrastructure would grow 26.7% in Latin America alone. This represents a challenge for all IT departments: management, administration, and network simplification through the cloud. This makes it highly relevant to have robust solutions, that not only provide solutions in the cloud, but also have a resources manager.

Why is network simplification fundamental?

With growing infrastructure in the cloud, networks will become more difficult to manage. In other words, larger numbers of users and operations, will make superior network management and monitoring fundamental.

Today it is possible to access the web from cellphones, tablets and portable devices, but managing so many devices becomes a complex issue. This complexity will result in new issues for the IT team such as:

  • Agility problems. Managing so many devices and networks requires more time to adapt to changes and implement new applications.
  • Scalability Limitations. When suppliers and services become less flexible to respond to new markets, they miss business opportunities.

Network simplification through the cloud will minimize these problems. 

How do we simplify networks?

By converging networks and automating processes. Network convergence is accomplished by means of a policy in which cable, wireless, and virtual networks converge in a single network. Meanwhile, automation, as implied by the word, has to do with automating processes. This represents a great window of opportunity because IT teams devote 80% of their time to repetitive tasks. The challenge lies in identifying which processes need to be automated first to begin with network simplification through the cloud. As such it’s a good idea to begin with those repetitive processes using implementation tools without user intervention and software defined networking (SDN).

Constant network monitoring es extremely valuable to identify where performance is degraded. This will allow us to determine simple solutions to lighten administrative burdens and obtain relevant operational savings.

Would you like to start with network simplification through the cloud for your business? The key is development architecture

Cloud infrastructure will bring new challenges that your IT team will need to manage. A development architecture of the kind NGIN Services has to offer, will allow you to simplify your networks in the cloud. This is possible because our architecture has SDN network packaging and traffic optimization tools.

¿Qué son las redes basadas en la nube?

What is cloud networking?

Today, we want to drill down into what cloud networking means and how it can contribute to your business growth. Time for some note taking!

Everyone knows that informatic security is vital to businesses. It is believed that by 2030, artificial intelligence and the Internet cloud will be critical technologies for business development. Already today they are fundamental to ensure reliability and maintain optimal levels of innovation and updating.

When we talk about cloud networking, it’s all about supplying informatic services via Internet. These services might consist of servers, storage, data bases, networks, software, analytics, and intelligence. The main goal of cloud networking is to offer businesses innovation, agility, flexible resources, and economies of scale Read more
