Commercial Site Networking Challenges
2
Endpoint Explosion
• Smartphones with Wi-Fi 6/6E
• IoT everywhere, Wi-Fi based, wired and Bluetooth (BLE) enabled
• Flexible office designs with a constant need for re-configurations
• PoE for everything wireless (AP’s, cameras, phones, IoT)
Infrastructure Operation Challenges
• Limited to no IT staff in distributed, remote offices
• Legacy networks including rigid designs, and older 1 Gbps endpoint capacities
• Box-centric with siloed wired, wireless, firewall, edge, security device settings
• Too many troubleshooting and security tools with unacceptable MTTR
• Appliance focused, not Network as a Service (Cloud) focused
Security Challenges
• IoT devices not designed for security, lack endpoint policing and intelligence
• Neighboring Wi-Fi networks can create honey pots for unsuspecting employees
• Cybersecurity threats are deeply embedded everywhere
• Perimeters are expanding with more distributed offices and remote at-home workers
