| | DECEMBER 20186CIOReviewToday, cloud, mobility, virtualization, and BYOD are not just trending terms in IT arena but also essentials to leap into the era of business growth. To leverage these technologies and attain strategic and commercial objectives, robust IT infrastructure embedded with powerful networking is a critical factor. From facilitating high-frequency trading to delivering content across the globe, networking is a core element in business success and customer satisfaction. However, as the complexity of the network grows, bandwidth-hungry businesses are experiencing challenges around service delivery and fulfilling demand. To cope up with the networking demands of today's businesses, industry leaders have to move away from conventional approaches. The need of the hour is to rethink the design and sustainability of the existing networks. For incorporating measures to integrate the exponentially growing connected devices, fulfill the resultant demand for the bandwidth, and safeguard in-transit as well as stationary information, the existing network might have to undergo technological transformation. In tandem with the evolving networking needs, the focus should be on embracing cutting-edge technologies that will enable networks to scale at speed. While SD-WAN is a step toward reducing the reliance on the human element in network management, connecting private and public clouds would be a significant move as networking infrastructure has been largely cloud-native. Use of powerful analytical tools that simplify the network analysis will also help the companies in managing the network and monitoring its performance.In this scenario, there is no shortage of networking vendors competing in every area of networking-vertical. Our goal in this special edition is to highlight the best-of-breed networking solution providers that can help businesses trump the user expectations.
