What technology challenges (specific to networking) organizations face in the journey towards digital transformation?

2017 is the year when digitization goes mainstream. While enterprises look at digitization as the glue that binds business with functional IT; consumers see it as a way to simplify how they interact with people, machines; or between machines.

Digital Transformation fundamentally brings back networking technologies to the forefront. How networking technology challenges unfold depends on what business the organization is – B2B, B2C or B2B2C. From a B2B standpoint, all digital transformation initiatives are engineered towards workload agility. It is the ability of your IT tools, process and functions to quickly adapt, enable and execute changed business priorities. In this scheme of things, legacy networks with proprietary offerings and inflexibility come across as the biggest hurdle. Digitally transformed businesses need agile IT. Agile IT runs on application-aware, software-defined infrastructure and that’s what we take pride in delivering as Dell EMC. B2C and B2B2C businesses, on the other hand, focus on using digital levers to service consumers better, faster and with efficacy.

To top it all, technology trends such as Internet of Everything – what many have called the next industrial revolution – are fundamentally altering the way we live, work and relate to one another, and will transform the way every business across industries.

Dell EMC is well positioned to address the transformative effect of digitization overall. Our new age infrastructures as built using open networking fabric components that are engineered for agile software-defined controls, workload aware, and speed to business execution.
