To be successful, modern businesses must be extremely agile and IT plays an ever-increasing role in enabling that nimbleness. ESG sees a number of IT trends closely aligned with business agility that impact everything from data center assets to remote workers. These trends will have an especially profound impact on corporate networks.

As a result of these IT trends, organizations need to deploy networks capable of rapid and massive scale that can accommodate highly dynamic environments and the demands of new traffic patterns, without adding cost or complexity to network operations. Unfortunately, legacy networks cannot keep pace with new technical demands let alone address the current speed of business.
