The Anytime, Anyplace Worker Drives

Changes in Enterprise Networking

BYO devices are leading the way

Zero-touch expectations (intuitive,

easy-to-use, access to apps)

More workers are mobile and distributed

Collaboration sessions are multi-modal

and global in nature

However, many workers are concurrently

using old tools — email, voice and

conferencing

The “anytime/anyplace” worker requires

ubiquitous mobility

Mobility Explodes- How Does

Enterprise IT Respond?

8

BYOD proliferates, but corporate-owned mobile devices will grow as well

• Tablets get legitimacy for enterprise apps

IT gets real about enterprise mobility –defined as application access anywhere, on any device

• BYOD itself does not equal Enterprise Mobility

• Mobility and Cloud applications converge

• Ubiquitous mobility for modern business processes

The WLAN’s role in enterprise IT infrastructure continues to grow

Mobility Increases- WLAN Grows as

Access Method90% of survey respondents noted an increase in WLAN traffic year-over-year

Q. What factors are leading to your organization’s change in wireless traffic?

N = 389Source: IDC, 2014

Increasing Reliance on Cloud Services

Internet

Cloud Services

Management

Provisioning

Security

HQ Branch Offices, Remote

Sites, Mobile Workers

Private

Cloud/

Datacenter

Regional

Offices

Cloud Apps/SaaS

CRM

ERP

From Retail to Education to Healthcare, Enterprise IT is being challenged to

provide mobile access to cloud-based business and consumer applications

11

Legacy Networks are Falling Behind Older networks are architected

with WLAN as a complement to wired network• Designed for desktop-centric

environments

• Insufficient AP coverage/capacity

Modern network should be wireless-centric• Attract and retain talent from a more-

connected “generation”

• Opportunity to reduce many ongoing operating costs

• 802.11ac speeds allow more mission-critical tasks to migrate to WLAN

Essential Guidance

14

The “3rd Platform” of enterprise IT is

transforming the wireless network’s

importance to business

Opportunities for business transformation

WiFi is becoming predominant network

access method for many enterprises

Mobility and cloud applications, as well

as desire for ubiquitous access, place

unprecedented demands on enterprise

wireless networks

Legacy, wired-focus networks are not

optimal

802.11ac responds to these trends

Architecting for all-wireless workplace

has proven business value benefits
