Scalable network

The power of a scalable network

In today’s interconnected marketplace, the ability to scale your business is completely dependent on the ability to scale your network. A scalable network empowers your business to exploit new opportunities, embrace emerging technologies and meet rapidly changing customer expectations. Scalability is also key to enabling seamless communication, ensuring cost-effective utilization and maintaining security controls as your network evolves.

Achieving a scalable network requires a network services partner that can deliver the speed and capacity you need along with expertise at integrating new technologies with existing infrastructure. That’s exactly what you get with Spectrum Enterprise. Our teams of business network modernization experts guide organizations of every size through the complexity of building a scalable network – from design to deployment and maintenance to management. Offering a comprehensive suite of network services, we customize networks for your requirements today and your aspirations tomorrow.
 

The keys to building a scalable network

When designing and building a scalable network, your IT teams should focus on incorporating these technologies, capabilities and best practices.

• High capacity. Your network is only as scalable as the amount of capacity your network services provider can offer. While proactive capacity planning can help to anticipate resource needs, it’s essential to partner with a provider that can deliver the necessary capacity, speed, equipment and geographic coverage.
• SD-WAN. Software-defined wide area networking (SD-WAN) enables you to implement new WANs much faster, since administrators can take advantage of touchless deployment to issue user devices, install software and implement policies.
• Optimization. To ensure maximum scalability, your IT teams must regularly review and optimize network configurations to ensure that resources are being used efficiently.
• Updates and patches. Regularly applying patches and updating software and equipment ensures that your network is secure and ready to scale as needed.
• Monitoring and maintenance. By closely monitoring your network’s performance, your teams can identify bottlenecks, eliminate congestion and prevent downtime.
• Interoperability. A scalable network needs equipment and systems that can scale individually and that can work together and communicate easily as well.
• Cloud-based solutions. Cloud networking solutions eliminate the need for on-premises network hardware and enable your IT teams to scale infrastructure on demand.
• Virtualization. Network function virtualization uses software-based virtualized network functions to replace hardware appliances, providing more flexibility and scalability.
