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 technologies and evolving business requirements, enterprises need a strong network management solution.
To achieve this goal, organizations look to Enterprise Network Management (ENM) to maintain a network’s health. ENM includes the process, tools, and techniques used to manage and monitor an organization's IT network infrastructure – including both hardware and software, – while functions such as the administration, operation, and optimization of network resources, ensure data and communications flow efficiently and securely across the entire network.
Organizations with an effective ENM solution can also proactively identify and remediate issues that may hinder productivity and communications, allowing them to get ahead of a potential network interruption or outage.
Elevating Network Management with AXON Orchestrator
Effective enterprise network management ensures the network is reliable, secure, and able to support the organization's day-to-day business operations. In order to be effective, an ENM solution must incorporate network monitoring, configuration management, network monitoring and securing, fault management and network automation.
To achieve this level of performance and reliability, Internet Service Providers (ISPs) and a growing number of enterprises around the world are turning to AXON Orchestrator (AO), AXON Networks’ unique software platform that brings all the elements of the network together for comprehensive real-time network visibility and seamless network management. With AO, enterprises have access to a wealth of service options and customizations, and the ability to elevate performance over basic connectivity via end-to-end visibility of the entire network.
AO and its network visibility and management capabilities enhance an enterprise's ENM solution by centralizing control, automating tasks, integrating security, and optimizing performance. In addition, it offers flexibility, scalability, security integration, AI and automation capabilities, and compliance monitoring – making it an essential tool for an ENM solution deployed to manage complex and evolving network infrastructures and allow businesses to remain competitive.
AXON Networks’ robust AI-driven, analytics-based orchestration platform unifies network management tasks, providing a single pane of glass for managing devices, security, performance, and configurations - simplifying the administration of complex enterprise networks. In addition to these core functions, AO can also integrate seamlessly with an enterprise’s existing Operation Support Systems and Business Support Systems to offer:
○ Integration with existing systems - AO can integrate with existing Operation Support Systems and Business Support Systems through common APIs.
○ The ability to manage issues on any device, network, or service - AO allows enterprises to manage, detect, and react to issues on any network, device, service, or user.
○ Real-time visibility - end-to-end network visibility allows for real-time issue identification to identify potential issues ahead of time.
○ A better user experience - by analyzing network performance in real time, AO can ensure users across the enterprise are able to access and act on critical data and business operating systems.
○ Combined fixed and mobile networks - AO combines fixed and mobile networks into a single virtual environment.
○ Self-healing support network - the analytics module in AO supports a self-healing network that can lead to a reduction in IT support calls.
As the digital landscape evolves and businesses continue to adopt Internet of Things (IoT) applications, remote work, and cloud solutions, ENM is more critical than ever to ensure networks are optimized for performance, security and scalability and drive growth. Investing in robust enterprise network management solutions not only future proofs an organization, but also enhances productivity, customer satisfaction, and overall business success.
