The enterprise network of 2020 and beyond is changing:
- Services are becoming more distributed.
- The number of services provided “off network” is growing.
- Users are more often remote.
- Security threats are rapidly escalating.
The above statements are all accurate for enterprise networks, though each potentially to differing levels depending on the business being supported by the network. Depending on how affected the network in question currently is and will be in the near future, there are different common network archetypes that are best able to address these concerns while delivering business value at an appropriate price point.
