Optimizing Enterprise Connectivity for Today’s Digital World   In today’s digital age, enterprise networks serve as the backbone of modern business operations. These networks – composed of Local Area Networks (LANs) which connect to Wide Area Networks (WANs) and cloud services – are responsible for connecting people, devices and applications across the enterprise and sometimes around the world. With countless components working together to manage continuous network traffic, the complexity of these networks is undeniable. Because these network connections share massive amounts of data from every corner of the enterprise, they’re important to every organization to carry out everyday business processes.   Most of today’s enterprise networks were designed and built before cloud services, bring-your-own-device (BYOD) and other trends disrupted the boundaries between business networks and public networks. To ensure the network operates efficiently and smoothly, even as it adapts to new techn

  Scale Without Limits: AXON Empowers Forward-Thinking ISPs with Google Cloud In today's hyper-connected world — where seemingly every facet of our lives relies on seamless and reliable internet connectivity — the role of internet service providers and their networks has never been more crucial. From streaming movies and online gaming to smart home devices and remote work, today’s digital lifestyles demand networks that are not only fast and reliable but also scalable and responsive to fluctuating demands. To rise to that challenge, many ISPs are increasingly directing their network investments away from physical infrastructure — servers, switches and other hardware that are expensive to build, deploy and maintain — to cloud-based solutions that enable them to scale their networks as needed and innovate with new services and applications to meet the changing demands of their customers. That cloud migration doesn’t end with the infrastructure itself. Effective cloud-based network or

  Future proofing Today’s Modern Network   Network operators have long touted the quality and reliability of their networks as their key differentiators and the reason a customer should choose them over a competitor. And that makes sense, because the network and its ability to connect the end user to the world at large are, ultimately, what they’re selling.   But networks are expensive to build and maintain, and just as important, to upgrade and evolve as the needs and expectations of their users evolve. Physical networks are comprised of vast amounts of hardware – from servers, towers and switches at one end to routers, extenders and antennae at the other – with miles of fiber and other conduits in between. Keeping up with the pace of innovation of the services and applications that run on the network means having to continually invest in new hardware from one end to the other, and that takes time and money.     Network management is also a crucial part of the network equation. It’s e
