Thinking Beyond Wi-Fi to Empower a Mobile Workforce | TEC37

For years, organizations' wireless strategies have been centered around when to upgrade to the latest version of Wi-Fi. But new technologies and use cases are forcing networking directors to think bigger about wireless networking in order to meet the needs of a dynamic and mobile workforce. Join WWT Mobility and IoT Practice Manager Bob Hrbek as he discusses these changes -- from the role of private LTE in the enterprise to the wireless network becoming a launchpad for business innovation. Bob also talks about how advances in access points, controllers and more are lowering the barrier of entry to deploy different options for connectivity and why now is the right time to plan for the future.

More Than Just Plumbing: How the Next Generation of SD-WAN Can Enable the Business | WWT Experts

Major changes in workplace dynamics are pushing enterprise networks to new frontiers, which is forcing leaders to think of SD-WAN as more than just plumbing. In today's hybrid landscape, SD-WAN is quickly turning into a platform IT leaders can use to onboard and offload new solutions and features that enable the business.   Join WWT Networking Solutions Architect Ryan Makelky -- a self-described SD-WAN sherpa -- as he talks about how SD-WAN can serve as an ideal launchpad for larger architectural shifts, such as moving toward secure access service edge (SASE), secure service edge (SSE) and connecting to the public cloud.

Networking Priorities for 2023

A roadmap for delivering organization-wide connectivity.

WWT Research

Dec 13, 2022

Empower users everywhere

With some employees returning to the office, others remaining at home and still others opting for hybrid work, networking leaders must figure out new ways of empowering employees. Secure access service edge (SASE) and software-defined networking (SD-WAN) allow network administrators to apply consistent policies that deliver performance and security to users, regardless of their location.

Secure Access Service Edge (SASE)

An architecture that delivers performance and security.

Software Defined WAN (SD-WAN)

SD-WAN is a critical part of organizations' journey to the cloud. Specifically, it is the foundation of a WAN services edge, the networking side of secure access service edge (SASE).

Capitalize on the latest waves in Wi-Fi

Many on-site employees no longer have permanent workstations, increasingly move around the office throughout the day and rely on bandwidth-intensive applications to connect with remote peers. The dense capacity architectures of Wi-Fi 6 and 6E provide superior experiences for today's on-site employees.

Wi-Fi Networking

Fuel a new way to work with a fresh approach to Wi-Fi.

Campus & LAN Switching

Evolve the campus network.

Achieve global connectivity

The number of software-as-a-service (SaaS) applications needed to support large enterprises has risen dramatically during the past few years. While these applications quickly enable new business capabilities, they also introduce network complexity. A global connectivity fabric cleanly connects services and applications, enhancing performance and security across an organization's global footprint.

Cloud Networking

Paving the way for connectivity across multiple cloud environments.

Data Center Networking

Data center networking provides the connectivity between servers and data for applications critical to the business.

Supercharge mission critical services

As data is being consumed faster than ever, robust optical networks provide the ideal foundation for mission-critical services. But it's no longer just about throughput. Organizations also need routing capabilities to support new digital experiences. Advances in optical networking give teams the best of both worlds.

Optical Networking

Increase bandwidth with a more efficient, flexible, reliable and scalable network.

MPLS and Segment Routing

Benefit from the highly-reliable connections and improved bandwidth capacity of simpler, more robust networks.

Case Studies

Learn how we've helped organizations across industries on their journey toward a global connectivity architecture.

Go Big or Go Home: How to Pack More Features Into Existing Network Architectures | TEC37

Network traffic is growing more complex each and every day as hybrid and remote work continues to be the norm. That's putting traditional network architectures in a state of major upheaval after decades of relative stagnation. Wi-Fi, secure access service edge (SASE), private wireless -- options for connectivity keep growing. This includes transport networks, which are evolving to deliver new services and user experiences. Join WWT technical solution architects Joshua Hogan and Tyler Tappy as they discuss the important details of implementing a converged transport network, which takes the long-reach optical technology typically found in standalone optical networks and consolidates it into a compact, high-performance router. Joshua and Tyler also cover key steps to putting a converged transport network into action.
