IoT network connectivity has gotten complex, as devices and data proliferate — and as malicious threats increase. Network management practices such as network automation and machine learning can help.
As devices and data proliferate, networks need to be resilient and flexible enough to handle the information explosion. The performance and security of many tasks — from remote work to video streaming to data analytics — rely on a rock-solid network.
As a result, IoT network connectivity and network management has moved to the fore in IT management. It’s critical to managing and protecting the data that is now the currency of the enterprise. But networks need performance and security monitoring to ensure that they can stand up to new connectivity needs and be protected from malicious attacks.
In the following networking guide, we explore new connectivity options and network management techniques that improve network speed and responsiveness.
Check out our network trends guide below for more.
In this section, we explore how tools such as networking automation, brought about through network configuration, can enable new capabilities. We also examine the architecture required to achieve this kind of efficient networking: edge computing.
Multiple factors are driving the move toward edge computing.
Remote work, digital health and other shifts during the COVID-19 era foretell the increasing importance of 5G buildouts for the future.
IoT trends in 2021 show promise. Core needs such as health-and-safety efforts and equipment monitoring will be benefit, though customer experience will develop.
The shift to 5G means more speed but also potentially more costs and new hardware considerations. Here's how to handle the increased data traffic to come.
As mobility becomes the center of IT operations, we’ll eventually see the end of networks and data centers as the functions they enable become the province of carrier networks and the cloud.We can expect 'everything as a service.'
IoT devices invite new points of attack. This section explores IoT security issues and some of the tactics to address them
Connected cars ingest vast amounts of data about drivers’ location, routes, driving habits and even moods. In the wrong hands, this personal information could be misused for discriminatory purposes.
Automotive cyber-security hardware remains a relatively small market and a missing piece in vehicle protection.
Granular IoT access policies tailored to the role and function of individual devices will grow more important over time.
