About

In an era of flux, complexity and emerging technologies, traditional networking is struggling to meet the demands of the modern enterprise. Whether it’s handling the growing needs of a global organisation, dealing with a widening ecosystem of clients and suppliers, managing in the wake of a merger or acquisition, enabling and simplifying multi-cloud adoption, or prepping for the full embrace of artificial intelligence, the established approach to network infrastructure often proves lacking. 

At this forthcoming CIONET executive roundtable – brought to you in association with Alkira – we want to explore the challenges organisations like yours face, and the possibilities presented by taking an as-a-service approach to network infrastructure. 

Among the potential benefits Network Infrastructure as a Service (NIasS) offers are cost savings, improved efficiency, enhanced operational control, greater network agility, and comprehensive visibility. A study, commissioned by Alkira, indicates that customers who adopt NIaaS see a 44% reduction in the deployment of network and security devices and an 84% decrease in the staff time required to add a new cloud environment. 

Topics for discussion will include: 

• Optimising network performance
• Reassessing resource management
• Streamlining security operations
• Simplifying cloud / multi-cloud environments
• Facilitating extranets and managing mergers
• Revisiting data centre deployment
• Assessing capital-intensive versus consumption-based models of networking
• Prepping for AI adoption

This event is ideal for senior IT decision makers looking to effectively manage their IT estate in order to drive greater efficiencies and deliver increased business value. Join us for an evening of insightful conversation and great company among industry peers and experts.
