The enterprise wired and wireless LAN infrastructure market is now composed of vendors not only delivering wired and wireless Ethernet networking hardware, but also tightly integrating network management software that resides on-premises or in the cloud. This combination of network hardware and powerful software is integral for addressing organizational mission agility, pervasive security and the increased levels of performance required by end users across all categories of connected applications and devices.

These integrated software tools speed time to completing enterprise network deployments, reduce time to identify and resolve network and application issues, and deliver pervasive automation tools that reduce network administrator workloads.

Additionally, core integration of AI and ML are integral to correlating the flood of generated data, thereby presenting key data points necessary to optimize the network in support of digital business requirements. This technology is also becoming a valuable source of business-relevant data that is useful to I&O and overall business leadership.
