你现有的人际关系可能不是你需要的. Digital age technologies will take you into the digital era with the right network for your business.

It’s transformation time out t在这里 in the digital world and if your business is going to thrive, 那么维持现状就不是一个选择. If you’re not moving forward you need to come up with a plan quickly, because t在这里’s a stampede of users demanding connectivity and services, 物联网(物联网)的海啸正向你袭来.

To stay ahead of the competition you will need a digital transformation strategy that improves your 流程, 区分你的产品和服务, 更好地满足客户和员工的需求, 同时增加收入，降低成本. 这是一个相当高的要求.

To get t在这里 from 在这里 you will need to introduce cloud and digital innovations into your operations, 流程, 以及计算系统. 和, you will need to augment your network intelligence to ensure you have your finger on the pulse of the network and that you are ready to combat any network attacks or degradation before they happen.

Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise has developed a 数字时代网络 strategy that provides a framework to help enterprises enter the digital transformation era. 它基于以下4个关键支柱:

•连接

•物联网

•增强智能

•云经济

基于这4个支柱, organizations can transform their networks from complex and costly infrastructures, into a tool to generate new revenue streams with low operational costs.

连接是关键

如今，部署一个新应用程序只需几分钟. 和 while configuring a network still takes time, it is getting better. ALE服务定义网络, 例如, 从用户自动提供安全连接, 或对象, 到授权的应用程序. 和, the 智能织物 (iFab) technology automates the deployment of the network and simplifies moves, 增加了, 和变化, reducing the time and effort it takes to maintain and operate a network. That means IT managers can shift their focus from building and running infrastructure toward more profitable business activities.

A single 网络管理 System (NMS) can also help reduce the IT manager’s workload as they no longer have to handle two management systems with two sets of policies and configuration rules for the wired and wireless networks.

获得物联网

物联网 devices and sensors are changing our lives, the world we live in, and the way we do business. 和, if it hasn’t hit your organization yet, then brace yourself because it’s on its way. While billions of connected devices have already been deployed, experts predict that the surge in 物联网 will not slow down any time soon.

除了设备的数量, one of the most significant risk factors that connected devices pose is their access to other network segments. Once an object is compromised the whole enterprise network becomes vulnerable. Multiply that risk by potentially millions of objects, and well, you get the picture.

Configuring and managing so many individual devices is unrealistic, 物联网控制, 然而, provides an automated solution to securely onboard 物联网 devices and protect the network at the same time. Essentially, each object is discovered and classified, segmented, and then monitored. Monitoring the objects is vital so that immediate action can be taken if t在这里 is unusual activity on the network.

通过增强智能变得更聪明

人工智能, 数据分析, 还有机器学习, 能否提供网络上事件之间的相关性, 以及用户和设备行为. Piecing together these elements offers IT manager a better understanding of facts, 帮助解决潜在问题, 并实现数字化业务流程. These proactive analytics provide information about the QoE of its users and can quickly identify if t在这里 is a problem. 例如, 如果设备连接到WLAN需要很长时间, the network can identify the issue and take steps to solve the problem. The network will then send a notification to the administrator to indicate if the problem can be automatically fixed.

当检测到连接对象的异常活动时, 该对象将自动断开连接或隔离. This automated function ensures the quickest possible response.

云经济模式创造了新的收入机会

In today’s budget constrained environment cloud business models are presenting new opportunities to revisit the traditional CAPEX financial investment associated with network infrastructure purchases.

Network on Demand (NoD) offers an alternative to technology procurement with an "Infrastructure as a Service" subscription model based on a monthly fixed operational expense (OPEX) fee. Cloud-technology also offers value-added services that can generate new revenue streams to help fund other IT initiatives. 例如, in a stadium environment Location-based 服务 can provide information about the location of users 或对象s, 这意味着大厅零售商可以发送促销代码, 或者食品供应商可以发送折扣通知, creating new revenue opportunities to help fund the ongoing digital transformation.
