How to Transition to a Strategic Network Platform
New technology trends such as unified communications, virtualization, and mobility are handily showing business benefits, but they are also putting strains on the corporate network. IT managers are struggling to provide higher availability, manage a complex network of devices and systems, and reduce total cost of ownership. This paper, produced by the Yankee Group, outlines a strategic approach, in which the network is viewed as a single, end-to-end system, with the goals of providing lower TCO, increased uptime, and faster time-to-market of new services.
Getting the Most From Your Vendors
Most corporate networks contain a mix of devices, systems, and applications from multiple vendors. Trying to maintain network availability amid this complex environment is a challenge—not to mention the difficulty it brings in keeping costs low. This white paper explores how vendor selection strategy can bring about network transformation. It also recommends ways to best work with suppliers to optimize network performance while managing total cost of ownership.
