A ZK Research White Paper

An IT organization is only as agile as its least agile component – and in today’s world, the least agile component is often the network edge. The rise of software-defined networks has transformed the data center, and software-defined wide-area networks have modernized the WAN, but the edge largely has stood still.

To help businesses get started with edge optimization, ZK Research explores key networking technologies and provides recommendations on how to get started, including:

• Investing in the network edge to enable a higher level of agility
• Utilize network automation strategies to eliminate mundane tasks
• Use artificial intelligence and machine learning tools to optimize network performance
