Your Network for BYOD

Build a flatter, simpler network1
Simplify with automated provisioning
Unify the wired and wireless network
Flatter is simpler:
 Legacy architectures dictate multi-tier
networks that are overly complex with
unnecessarily high latency.
 Legacy multi-tiered networks are an
estimated 30% to 40% more
expensive than two-tier networks.
 Legacy networks do not offer the needed
flexibility to make business-level network
changes quickly.
 A flat network provides a simpler, more
scalable design.

2 Deploy an agile solution
Network agility is mandatory:
 CIOs must build an IT environment that
supports greater business agility, to scale
and allocate application resources based on
changing business contexts.
 What is business-critical today might not be
tomorrow; staying competitive requires
agility and adaptability to changing
environments.
 Virtualization technology enables IT
departments to build more agile compute,
storage and application environments.
 For the IT environment to achieve the
needed levels of agility, the network must
also become more agile.

3 Plan for any point security
Mitigate security risks to enable
BYOD:
 Enabling third-party devices and
applications to access a proprietary
network may result in perceived security
risks, which may prevent IT departments
from implementing a BYOD strategy.
 With any-point security and self-
provisioning, such as Juniper Networks’
Simply Connected solution, IT can
simplify and secure any point on the
network with point-and-click provisioning.

4 Simplify with automated provisioning
Keep the network fluid with automated network
operations:
 BYOD, cloud-based applications and mobility are
dynamic in nature, requiring an equally dynamic
network.
 Manual provisioning of the network and on-going
configurations are too slow and error-prone to
keep up with IT’s dynamic nature.
 ZK Research studies have found that 38% of
downtime is due to human error, the single largest
cause of downtime.
 Network managers need robust tools such as
scripts and self-provisioning applications to
automate network operations.

5 Unify the wired and wireless network
For BYOD success, wireless
networks must look and act more
like the wired network:
 Legacy networks include a high-
performance wired core with a wireless
network, typically deployed as an overlay.
 Independently managed wired and
wireless networks create an inconsistent
user experience.
 Unified policy, performance and resiliency
features are critical to a successful
BYOD implementation.
