New To The Networking Game

Automation, security at the edge of the network, and managing an entire network environment from anywhere have been among the most sought-after networking solutions so far this year.

With that in mind, some of the IT market’s largest networking specialists, including Aruba, a Hewlett Packard Enterprise company, and Cisco Systems, came armed with cloud-first networking and network management offerings that are filling the gaps for businesses looking to enhance security while doing more with fewer resources and trying to save time and money in the process. At the same time, networking newcomers, such as multi-cloud networking upstart Prosimo and Networking-as-a-Service player Nile, are coming in hot this year with new security features and tools to help enterprises and partners design, build, troubleshoot and manage their increasingly complex network environments.

And then there is the secure access service edge (SASE) trend, which many SD-WAN and security-focused vendors are now leaning into, as well as private 5G solutions as businesses embrace new forms of secure connectivity to get the job done.

With many options on the market to choose from this year, here are 10 of the coolest new networking products of 2023 so far.
