3 REASONS WHY NETWORKING SHOULD BE AT THE CORE OF YOUR DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION

jenters
‎09-12-2019 01:28 PM

Networking isn’t getting anything like the attention it should be getting in the
context of digital transformation. I wouldn’t say it’s ignored, exactly – but
based on my conversations with customers, it’s taken for granted.

Companies heading down the transformation path often set up a dedicated
organization, or at least a separate budget, for their DTX (digital
transformation). And so things tend to be handled in somewhat of a siloed
fashion. Networking pros may feel like what they’re hearing is: "Well, of course
we need to update the network to support our new business models. But that's not
part of our digital transformation budget, so you network guys go do whatever
you need to do to make your stuff more awesome so that it can meet up with our
digital transformation agenda.”

It’s completely understandable – management takes their view of it from the
business lens for DTX, which usually focuses on things like applications,
automation and compute consolidation. Most of the attention goes to identifying
the applications that users rely on most and deciding where those workloads
should be hosted and how they should be consumed, as well as updating their
associated business processes. The problem is, there are specific network
dependencies underlying these decisions, and they’re typically overlooked.

Understanding the network connectivity ramifications of your digital
transformation is crucial to success, for at least three reasons:

You’ll want to do a lot more than just covering the basics.

Some important networking elements come up for discussion pretty much
automatically. How many IPs are you going to need? What kind of load balancers
will you use across multiple datacenters? But basic underlying network
requirements like these are really just table stakes. When you embark on a broad
digital transformation, you typically want to do some consolidation and/or
optimization of networking elements. You want to have your applications not just
layered on top of an archaic network architecture but integrated with a
transformative network architecture – one that can align to your DTX objectives
by providing programmability, automation and virtualization of network resources
(i.e., decrease cost while increasing security and portability).

Maybe this is an opportunity to reinforce your DevOps capabilities by enabling
your development teams to automatically self-provision resources. To do that,
you need to have the network in lockstep. Even if it’s not DevOps, you’re likely
moving towards a private cloud model where your applications are accessible from
anywhere at any time – the network is key to ensuring an outstanding experience.
Or maybe you’re planning to put an application in the public cloud; don’t forget
the connectivity aspects of that. For example, it may result in some
applications having their functionality split up among different locations, as I
noted in my post Networking for your Right Mix: Architecting a communications
fabric for hybrid cloud.

Think beyond the network to include connectivity. 

As an example, IP address management is often forgotten because people just
assume that it’s straightforward. But it’s not. A surprisingly large proportion
of enterprise organizations – I would say around 60+ percent, based on my
experience – are still running their IP address management via spreadsheets.
Let’s say you want to move to a containers environment as part of your digital
transformation. The high volume and dynamic nature of containers requires an
extensive amount of portable IPs. It’s hard to do that with manual data entry.
While you can choose to provide ‘buckets’ of IPs to these environments, when
(yes, I said ‘when’) you need to track one down for a security breach or
compliance audit you’ll realize why centralized IP address management is key. Oh
yeah, and don’t forget about any IPv6 initiatives.

Likewise, companies don't pay enough attention to DHCP or DNS. Once they’ve been
set up, DNS management systems tend to just grow organically, without much
control. The basic elements and best practices may be in place. But any
weaknesses in your DNS services could create security and continuity
vulnerabilities. Let’s be clear, if your DNS server goes down, your entire
business will be offline. The same can apply to load balancers, firewalls,
proxies, etc. – thus the need to consider end-to-end connectivity in a DTX.

Networking missteps can impact your timelines.

In any digital transformation, you're certainly going to be transforming and
scaling your applications and workloads to levels you've never approached before
– against very aggressive timelines. If you're not thinking about it from a
network connectivity standpoint, missed critical path items can crop up that
slow your progress or bring it to a standstill. It’s worth remembering, too,
that digital transformations are commonly street-visible. Missed milestones can
disappoint shareholder expectations and even impact stock price.

Defining the path towards an appropriate network architecture is a crucial part
of your transformation to a digitally oriented organization that delivers the
right resources, at speed, to customers and internal clients. HPE Pointnext
Services can help you define it and build it. For example, we can run an
in-depth network assessment that you can incorporate into your DTX planning up
front. We’ve done networking for DTX programs many times before; we can bring a
wealth of experience from working with companies around the world, in a variety
of industries.

But don’t just take my word for it. A recent IDC MarketScape report positions
HPE as a Leader in Worldwide Network Consulting Services – see below. You can
read an excerpt from the report featuring HPE here: IDC MarketScape: Worldwide
Network Consulting Services 2019 Vendor Assessment.



 

SOURCE: "IDC MarketScape: Worldwide Network Consulting Services 2019 Vendor
Assessment", by Leslie Rosenberg, July 2019, IDC # US44532219_HPE IDC
MarketScape vendor analysis model is designed to provide an overview of the
competitive fitness of ICT suppliers in a given market.  The research
methodology utilizes a rigorous scoring methodology based on both qualitative
and quantitative criteria that results in a single graphical illustration of
each vendor’s position within a given market. The Capabilities score measures
vendor product, go-to-market and business execution in the short-term. The
Strategy score measures alignment of vendor strategies with customer
requirements in a 3-5-year timeframe. Vendor market share is represented by the
size of the circles. Vendor year-over-year growth rate relative to the given
market is indicated by a plus, neutral or minus next to the vendor name.
