How adaptive networking drives real-world enterprise benefits

Adaptive networking is a collection of tools and technologies—hybrid networking, SD-WAN, flexible bandwidth and network virtualization—that deliver heightened network performance, flexibility and security.

A new report from Ovum shares the insights of 350 enterprise IT executives and the impacts they've realized from deploying adaptive networking in their businesses.

Managed SD-WAN

Delivers centralized application visibility and control across networking infrastructure for intelligent, optimized service delivery.

Network Virtualization

Shifts physical network resources to the cloud for increased flexibility and speed.

Adaptive Networking

Adaptive networking is a collection of technologies that provide increased network performance, flexibility and security. Click on each one to see how.

Cloud Networking

Networking Intelligence

Network Security

Hybrid Networking

Combines MPLS and internet services to exploit the best characteristics of each.

Flexible Bandwidth

Dynamically scales network bandwidth on demand to better control costs.

The exponential benefits of adaptive networking

Adaptive networking is more than the sum of its parts. As enterprises deploy more than one adaptive networking tool, they work in concert to deliver exponential returns. Explore the graph to see how adaptive networking delivers real results:

1 Without adaptive networking

2 With one adaptive networking tool deployed

3 With two or more adaptive networking tools deployed*

Site provisioning speed

Application performance

Operational cost savings

Network uptime

Network security

* When compared to just one adaptive networking tool deployed.
