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.

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.
