1. HIGH-IQ NETWORKS
On any given day, we wear a number of hats—parent, businessperson, distance learner, etc.
TODAY
TOMORROW
Networks today assume a one-size-fits-all approach. Individuals
and companies are forced to guess the amount of bandwidth
and policies they need and are subsequently locked into
long-term contracts. The end result? Limited service packages
that are fixed to accommodate the ‘worst case.’ Complexity
for individuals and frustration for service providers as they aren’t
able to deliver new services quickly or cost-effectively.
The network of tomorrow will recognize the multiple hats
individuals wear on a daily basis and will be agile enough
to respond. Businessperson, distance learner, parent.
A high-IQ network is tailored, agile and can recognize
these personas and deliver custom enhancements
without the individual having to do a thing.

UNDERLYING NETWORK:
Today’s network is far too complex and rigid to
adapt on the fly to an end-user’s needs. Technology
solutions today yield a static and uninformative
offering. The required manual network-hardware
tweaks to provide real-time adaptive services can
take months to complete. By then, it’s too late.
UNDERLYING NETWORK:
The network of tomorrow is a blend of physical and virtual
(i.e. Silicon + Junos + SDN). Intelligent analytics can identify
enhancements to improve quality and security of applications
and offer these to the user. The network is automated and
programmable to allow for complete flexibility and rapid
service customization in minutes vs. months.
