Drivers for change

The entire networking industry is being disrupted, driven by several market forces.

New and emerging applications and technologies are demanding more of networks—and gone are the days when increasing bandwidth would be enough. At the same time, service providers are looking to add new revenue streams and manage costs all while ensuring sustainability objectives are met.

Explore the following information to understand today’s key drivers for change.
