7 Steps to Modern Networking
Modern networking connects people and endpoints to applications, instead of connecting network to network. A modern network must be agile and scalable from a cost and business standpoint, allowing for growth depending on evolving transformational needs.
But how do you get there? Deploying a modern networking strategy is an all-encompassing journey. Evolving Solutions has defined seven steps to get you started:
- Develop a software-defined network adoption roadmap to support multicloud solutions
- Assess your existing network and end-user security posture and policies to evaluate their effectiveness in a multicloud environment
- Ensure traceability, consistency, and visibility across security policies
- Evaluate inventory across your network, and take note of what is connected to what
- Prioritize API-driven software-defined capabilities when considering new infrastructure solutions and implement those capabilities gradually in support of initiatives
- Close the gaps between IT and network teams to enable a proactive approach to a modern networking strategy
- Consider business benefits, long-term cost savings, and cost differences compared to what a traditional network might have looked like when evaluating and advocating for your modern networking plan
