Architecting tomorrow’s network

To fuel successful technology adoption and maximize outcomes, companies need to focus on simplifying infrastructure architecture rather than how to make new technologies fit into existing stacks. “When it comes to digital transformation, choosing an architectural approach over a purely technology-driven one is about seeing the bigger picture,” says Rajarshi Purkayastha, the VP of solutions at Tata Communications. “Instead of focusing on isolated tools or systems, an architectural approach connects the dots—linking silos rather than simply trying to eliminate them.” Establishing the robust global network most companies need to connect these dots and link their silos requires more capability and bandwidth than traditional networks like multiprotocol label switching (MPLS) circuits can typically provide in a cost-effective way. To keep pace with innovation, consumer demands, and market competition, today’s wide area networks (WANs) need to support flexible, anywhere connectivity for mult ... Read full article.
