Is your enterprise network capable of handling the demand of today's mobile enterprise? The network you put in place yesterday may be struggling to support applications like unified communications and video while maintaining high standards for security compliance. Learn how Dell is designing the campus network of the future and how you can take advantage of this next generation architecture with improved management and performance. We will discuss how you can make the transition to the network of the future—on your terms and at the pace you choose—with minimal disruption. 

1. Build a network for the future –
on your terms, today

2. Switch it up and challenge the status quo
… scalable to provide reliable performance
… open industry standards to prevent lock-in
… investment protection for tomorrow’s challenges
… built to work for you… and not the other way around.
