Deploy integrated solutions – While some organizations may have the time, energy, and in-house expertise to design and integrate custom IT solutions, many providers offer ready-to-deploy, pre-engineered, workload-optimized solutions that simplify and speed IT service delivery while reducing the time, risk, and expertise needed to deploy complex solutions. Look for solutions that include networking in the stack, versus tacking it on after the fact. For example, consider hyper-converged solutions that integrates both physical and virtual networking.
Implement Zero Trust security – computer science vs engineering must be at the forefront of any architecture discussion. The key is building security from the ground up and extending it across all areas of the network. By default, Zero Trust networks enable:
Authentication of every user, device, traffic flow, and “thing” on the network.
- Centralized creation of role-based policies and implementation across all aspects of the intelligent edge, from the core data center out to every edge and IoT device.
- Dynamic segmentation of users, devices, and tenants (and their traffic) no matter where they enter the network and how they traverse it.
- Push the easy button – Achieve scale through the cloud and pay as you go. There is a lot to do. Strike a balance between all on‑premises IT, a move to the cloud, and a new expanding edge – let’s face it, orchestrating (and paying for) this complex IT estate can be daunting.
