Bandwidth demands per enterprise site continue to skyrocket, while additional pressure has been added to the WAN in the wake of the pandemic and shift to remote working, moving demand from well-connected offices to a scattering of disparate locations. Yet, while WAN bandwidth demands are increasing by orders of magnitude every year, budgets rarely keep pace and significant numbers of those ‘better connected’ branch locations experience network congestion during peak hours.

The buzz from the COP26 climate conference which took place in Glasgow in November can still be heard, and it’s no small wonder that IT infrastructure – in particular the cloud and data centre sector - featured as a prominent part of the conversation.

Enterprise adoption of what has become known as Network-as-a-Service (NaaS) is being spurred by several factors, not least of which is the ‘technical hangover’ exposed by the global pandemic. Find out how the consumerisation of IT, the shift from capex to opex consumption of enterprise services, and the need to respond to changing market dynamics quickly, are all creating the perfect storm for NaaS adoption...

The almost wholesale shift of enterprise workloads into the public cloud have cemented the appeal of greater business flexibility and agility through on-demand consumption of services (X-as-a-Service) and pay-as-you-go pricing. But bridging the connectivity gap between the enterprise network and the cloud is a complex process and one where one size does not fit all.

Just as mass adoption of the public cloud ushered in an era of digital transformation for most enterprises, the ready availability of Software-as-as-Service (SaaS) applications is changing the very DNA of organisations. In this article we look at the role that connectivity can play in improving the performance of your mission critical applications. Chances are your business already uses a variety of SaaS tools in its day-to-day operations.
