Revisting my recent article on how reliability & access form the bedrock of programmable infrastructure, now on the @OptusEnterprise website at https://t.co/LtMJmRJQW3. The trends that I see talking with companies is that connectivity will likely become increasingly programmable.

[Enzo Cocotti @EnzoCocotti]

Networks are transforming. The impetus is the blurred distinction between work & play. Without access, the most advanced device will not perform as it should - transacting at work, watching 4K movies at home. More in my new article. https://t.co/mcURjoCrrh

Making choices about connectivity technology will be replaced by seeking new connectivity services and capacity, built on technology and designed to embed flexibility in an organisation. https://t.co/Jp4tgx7BQR

These include reducing operational complexity. Increasing the agility and responsiveness of the network.
Adapting to changing environments.
And ultimately, improving customer experience and employee experience.

At our recent #SDWAN webinar, I was asked whether SD-WAN is for big businesses only. The answer is that SD-WAN solutions cut across enterprises of all shapes and sizes, that are concerned about a few of key things...

In the network infrastructure space, the conversation is changing to focus on how new, hybrid workplaces  deliver new customer experiences. Much of that will inevitably focus on the cloud, but in a more-nuanced and detailed way. #cloud #infrastructure #softwaredefinednetworking

[Enzo Cocotti @EnzoCocotti]

What next for network infrastructure & operations? Some suggestions from me. I quote @Gartner_inc's Ross Winser who makes the point: "I&O professionals must be willing to move beyond legacy practices & mindsets." Networks should never inhibit innovation. https://t.co/Yn8cp8KYjG

[Enzo Cocotti @EnzoCocotti]

I recently talked in a webinar with my colleagues David Heyworth & Tom Chan about the various connectivity & network technologies that can simplify network management, improve the user experience, enhance security, optimise carriage spend. https://t.co/gUb0kNgs5L

[Enzo Cocotti @EnzoCocotti]

Your organisation has spent 20 years refining & improving network capability. New disruptors are in clear sight. Defining your connectivity infrastructure & operations requirements for your organisation is part of your response. More in my new article https://t.co/DVtaAsPuFx

[Enzo Cocotti @EnzoCocotti]

Networks are converging around an increasingly liquid backhaul, with #5G & #edge close to the user over the last 300-400 metres, and embracing core networks, multiple access points for mobile, anytime-fibre assets, the NBN, satellites, #Ethernet IP VPN, #SDWAN .

[Enzo Cocotti @EnzoCocotti]

Software-defined networking is a phased implementation. That defines the investment needed as part of the overall connectivity strategy. #SDN does not replace a legacy network over a weekend. CAPEX & OPEX need to consider this. https://t.co/0tqtzLHPAt

[Enzo Cocotti @EnzoCocotti]

Enterprises tell us they need networks that provide ease of access to their infrastructures, applications & other IT resources on-demand. At least 50% of organisations say that the key trigger for #SDN is an imperative to scale network functionality.

[Enzo Cocotti @EnzoCocotti]

Programmable infrastructure solutions allow companies to consider change - not just to their existing networks, or even the next generation of infrastructure that they might be contemplating, but the way they run their business, how they create value for their customers.

[Enzo Cocotti @EnzoCocotti]

ICan't wait to collaborate with my colleague Tom Chan to explain the role of #SDWAN in #digitaltransformationstrategy. A lot to unpack here. This might be a useful primer!

If you choose/use/manage the networking & tech that underpins biz performance, this webinar is for you. Our SMEs will explore how SD-WAN can deliver real business outcomes. Register by Fri 19 Feb https://t.co/eu5CSnAgHf #Optus #OptusEnterprise #SDNetworking #LiquidInfrastructure

[Enzo Cocotti @EnzoCocotti]

Businesses seek the ability to change & get returns on their investments early on. That's why companies need to look at their infrastructure capabilities, across the entire scope of the transformation under consideration, then chunked into blocks of change, intent & strategy.

[Enzo Cocotti @EnzoCocotti]

Imagine this scenario: your organisation has spent 20 years refining network capability. Now, new disruptors & opportunities are in clear sight. How do you balance technology options? How do you integrate those? How do you match technology to strategy?

[Enzo Cocotti @EnzoCocotti]

From @Gartner_inc's Ross Winser: "I&O (infrastructure & operations) professionals must be willing to move beyond legacy practices & mindsets to embrace trends that will profoundly impact I&O teams & the capabilities they provide their business". Agreed. https://t.co/iryjB0F4gw

[Enzo Cocotti @EnzoCocotti]

I still get asked to explain the difference between #SDN and #SDWAN. Both have ther part to play. The difference is between being able to take your network infrastructure supersonic, on demand, and not...

Advantage 3 of 3 offered by #SDN: prioritisation. Control gives enterprises the insights needed to react. Agility provides the ability to react. Both mean that #enterprises can prioritise their networks in real time.

[Enzo Cocotti @EnzoCocotti]

Advantage 2 of 3 offered by #SDN: agility - the ability to adapt 'now'. Think COVID-19 and the sudden escalation of remote access nodes & authorisations.
