Automate, Automate, Automate
2020 has been dishing out many surprises and challenges for the IT industry as the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic forced many businesses around the globe to close their doors and send most—if not all—employees to work remotely from home. Enterprise networks, which largely consisted of traffic coming from headquarters, branch offices and some remote staff, are now seeing completely different traffic and usage patterns.
The silver lining? Demand for automation has been on the rise like never before. Businesses want easier networking, and removing some of the manual tasks is a big trend in enterprise networking right now as end customers demand more automation and flexible consumption models for their IT environments. Along with automation, the cloud continues to rise in popularity, especially as solution providers help their customers gear up for the new normal and future networking requirements. These requirements are helping networking upstarts make their mark on the industry right now.
