Digital transformation: New virtualization and security technologies accelerate progress

All companies will be technology providers and will need to have tools to manage and facilitate their processes.

Companies changing the way technology is used in their management, transforming business processes and models, and more view IT as a collaborator for their strategies, they are more likely to engage in what is called Digital transformation.

Is your company’s data center ready for SDN?

AND digital enterprise creates value and takes account of their digital assets, it’s not just businesses that use storage space in Cloudwhich offers devices that are connected to or work with the Internet of Things Great data, son who are adopting isolated IT actions in their processes considered a digital business. They are companies that increasingly incorporate technology into their processes and commitment to its customers and collaborators.

Society is transformed with technology, creating new paradigms in the way people relate and consume. Companies must adopt the same technologies that their customers already use and must try to take a step forward in this relationship, to be more competitive. In this context, every company will become a technology company, even if a company that has always produced cars, for example, will have to create cars that generate data so that drivers know the right time to change a filter or carry out some type of inspection. This means that some software must be created to add value to the hardwarein this case, the car. To be efficient, an agricultural machine must contain GPS information showing which routes the machine has followed to avoid overpositioning while working. This also means that a software, It must be created to read the generated information. Industries that previously only produced screws now have to do so develop technology.

Leaders who decide on IT areas in companies already admit the need to expand their networks, so much so that in the future 45% of organizations will need to have the network ready for digital use. This percentage represents three times current usage rates, the benefits are real and tangible. Businesses that have invested in modern networking resources are experiencing rapid account growth, customer retention, and increased profits.

In this context, there are many tools that accelerate changes in the digital age, including network virtualization and securitywhich are two fundamental points for companies in need fast and reliable connectivity. IT solution providers already have, for example, a hardware and virtual network services that offer a solution that enables businesses virtualize the network perimeter.

Capex and Opex: what is the best strategy for IT?

This platform unifies into one hardware router actions, firewallaccelerator WAN and the control of Wireless LANwhich means it virtualizes those services within the server itself. The architecture of this platform simplifies operations, enabling the development of new services in minutes, offering flexible deployment options. Still consolidated on a single platform, You can centrally manage core and affiliated tasks such as deployment, upgrade, administration and troubleshooting easily. Offers scalability on requestfacilitating cost control, through this platform it is possible to follow the path of virtualization, with full visibility of end-to-end applications. In this way the network becomes the first level of security enabling the automation and management of the entire infrastructure.

When the topic is security, to accompany the current mobility scenario, the use of IoT devices and applications in Cloudspecialized companies struggle to counter the most sophisticated virtual threats. Ultimately, cyber attacks can occur at any time and servers must be ready to prevent, recognize and combat such failures.

This struggle is seen as one of the reasons why companies will need to triple their adoption modern and automated networks in the next two years. With digital transformation, new virtualization technologies are accelerated and adapted to the new needs that the market offers. One of them is ensuring virtual security with tools that combine advanced protections against malware and the firewall with the sensor, monitoring agent and mitigation accelerator resources, using the own network. IT vendors offer countless options on the market. The fundamental thing is for each company to verify the one that best suits its reality, creating a plan for its work and acquiring new tools.
