Today’s businesses are under pressure to establish and maintain market differentiation by improving processes faster than competitors and delivering higher efficiency, while increasing stakeholder value. Digital acceleration is necessary to achieve these objectives. It enables organizations to roll out new products and services at the speed business requires, while delivering the optimal experience for all types of users. For digital acceleration to succeed, however, networks must do more than they did in the past—often much more than they were originally designed to do. Pushing networks beyond their limits generally results in increased risk of network downtime and security breaches.
