Network Architectures & Strategies for Enterprise Connectivity

Summary:

Network Strategies for the connected business have become complex and all-encompassing and are under continual review in line with business change, new technology adoption and the drive to provide 'universal access' not only to in-house systems, but, increasingly Internet provided services and applications.

So how do today's businesses - potentially global or multi-sited, with multiple commercial channels, partnerships, aggressively virtualising, adopting tele and video-conferencing and cloud computing and with a remote, mobile or dispersed workforce - approach the building of a flexible business-ready network architecture?

Objectives:

A no-holds-barred discussion that examines current and future strategies and tactics, lays bare the myths, the challenges and the costs, and rubber-stamps the solutions that work for enterprises today.

Who should attend:

Network and Infrastructure Managers, Architects and Strategists
