Future-proofing networks to support rising data centre demand and network connectivity
Network service providers have never played a more fundamental role as organisations across the Middle East adapt to the ‘ new normal ’ and accelerate their digitalisation journeys . That is the view of Feras Hani , Infrastructure System Engineer , CommScope , who tells Intelligent CIO Middle East how organisations can future-proof their networks in support of rising data centre demand and network connectivity .
wWhat are the key challenges Middle Eastern enterprises are grappling with considering accelerated Digital Transformation projects ?
In 2021 and beyond , organisations are adapting to different economic environments . We ’ ve already seen accelerated adoption of Digital Transformation with some instances of ten years of change being implemented in only a few months .
We will continue to see a seismic change in the way we work and live . We ’ re still in the process of adaption and future-proofing . Network service providers have never played a more fundamental role as we adapt to meet these changing requirements .
Admittedly , some companies have faced challenges when it comes to acceleration of Digital Transformation , particularly regarding connectivity and storage .
For example , with connectivity there has been a requirement for faster and more reliable connectivity . And that connectivity is needed wherever the user is .
With data storage , there were two main challenges : one was the security of data storage and the other was the higher capacity of the data storage .
