5 Technology Integrations you cannot ignore<\/i><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Whenever a business thinks of expansion into new markets, innovation or keeping up with the technological changes, it has to adapt to new technology. Can your network and its operations remain isolated during such an integration? Of course, not. Your network will experience the highest volume of activity during such an integration and the complexity is increased by the fact that your organization\u2019s key functions depend on your network availability and stability.<\/p>\n
As an IT Manager, you are well aware of the complex tasks of managing the network challenges, resources and time. In this blog, we will discuss how many organizations today have adopted the modern-day NOC and how critical it is to solve the network challenges proactively while adopting new technologies so that you are guaranteed a100% service uptime with cost efficiency.<\/p>\n
Managed NOC<\/strong>: Managed NOC is offered as a service by Managed Service Providers (MSPs). A Managed NOC service is designed to provide a seamless experience of managing your network operations during integration of new technology. All server and service monitoring is carried out through an MSP\u2019s Network Operations Center<\/b> (NOC) and their remote monitoring and management<\/a> tools ensure that your services are not interrupted during the transition to the new technology.<\/p>\n Get your Free Network Assessment<\/i><\/p>\n<\/div>\n Let\u2019s look at how Managed NOC can help you keep up with the challenges that a network faces during integration of new technology in your organization.<\/p>\n Moving towards the Future with Managed NOC<\/strong><\/p>\n Just because there is a new technology in the market, it is no reason for you to adopt it. It is vital that your organization\u2019s new technology integration strategy must be closely lined up with its strategic objectives and goals. The integration strategy should also be further refined to meet the unique needs of each individual business unit.<\/p>\n You must evaluate the value that each new technology offers to determine if and when it is a good fit, and whether it must be adopted or not.<\/p>\n Let us now look at how Managed NOC can help you in adopting the above mentioned technologies seamlessly without you having to worry about the challenges that they might impose at the time of integration on your existing network operations.<\/p>\n Virtualization<\/strong> Another move towards newer technology is virtualization. After servers, it continues to expand to desktops, switches, servers, routers and firewalls. Virtualization guarantees to provide a much higher level of control over these devices.<\/p>\n How Managed NOC can help?<\/strong> Managed NOC will help your organization to carry out the management tasks in the virtualized environment and also integrate with the existing workflow and management processes. These services will provide you with an integrated view of both environments available for monitoring and managing. Managed NOC will also help to identify resources that are faulty and have performance issues, to deploy applications across various virtualization platforms, to standardize description of virtual machines and also standardize various aspects of the network operations management.<\/p>\n Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) and Bring Your Own Application (BYOA)<\/strong> Another growing trend now is BYOD and BYOA<\/a>, where users bring their own devices such as smartphones, tablets and also applications to use them for both personal as well as work-related tasks. As an IT Manager, you must be aware of the challenges they pose for IT security when you try to monitor and maintain control over such user-owned devices in an organization’s network. You already know that this is a humongous and an almost impossible task to achieve.<\/p>\n How Managed NOC can help?<\/strong> A Managed NOC services<\/b><\/a> provider can provide you with network solutions that can help you fight this losing battle. These services can help you restrict the access to data and secure the data on servers and then provide users access to that data in the form of mobile web apps. This way, your users can gain authorized access to the data on any server but will not be able to store any data on their mobile devices.<\/p>\n Cloud<\/strong> Many organizations are now moving towards cloud technology and are eliminating the need to keep their data and applications in-house; thereby avoiding the practice of managing everything themselves.<\/p>\n How Managed NOC can help?<\/strong> Your NOC MSP can help you to build new applications using an open architecture that lets you run your applications on any platform or with any database. The MSP can help you to move your organization\u2019s complete IT to a cloud-based solution without new applications. This will also help you to secure your network in the event of any disaster. The managed network services will help you to create and manage portable applications that won’t hold your company back in the future, whatever the future may hold.<\/p>\n Communication with Multiple User Systems<\/strong> Today, the use of desktops, laptops, notebooks, tablets and smartphones in the business world has become an integral part of employees\u2019 lives. Also, users may access organizational data and applications from any location and across multiple user systems. Therefore, open applications and systems built on open standards are the way of the future. It becomes a challenge for IT Managers to manage the network security<\/a> across these multiple user systems and provide a platform that helps to communicate across different systems. For this purpose, the systems must be able to send and receive data that will be compatible on all user platforms.<\/p>\n How Managed NOC can help?<\/strong> This is where Managed NOC can prove to be a problem solver. Your MSP can provide an open architecture and framework to develop and integrate applications that can communicate easily with other systems. An adaptive approach is used to develop responsive designs to develop systems\/applications that communicate and work well with other systems\/applications. Therefore, your MSP can help facilitate and ease communication across multiple user systems by helping you avoid using proprietary architecture.<\/p>\n Green Initiatives<\/strong> Organizations today are adopting new technologies with an aim to expand their green initiatives, decrease their carbon footprint and to improve their energy consumption, monitoring, and efficiency. It has been found that an average size network data center uses about $4 million worth of energy in a year.<\/p>\n How Managed NOC can help?<\/strong> It is obvious that while adopting technologies for greater energy efficiency, organizations can turn to Managed NOC as the Managed Service Providers possess the necessary expertise and tools to monitor energy consumption at the device level and at the application level. NOC services can help you to benchmark energy use, monitor ongoing trends, identify any savings opportunities, and adopt the most energy efficient practices.<\/p>\n Organizations need to constantly upgrade to new technologies in order to meet their customers\u2019 expectations. Keeping up with the latest trends in technologies means adopting complex integration processes that can consume valuable time and resources and impact your network operations too.<\/p>\n An MSP can help you to smoothly run your network operations with greater cost efficiency. At the same time, you can also avoid the pitfalls of network issues that come with the integration process.<\/p>\n![\"NetworkAssessment\"](\"http:\/\/cdn2.hubspot.net\/hubfs\/436490\/NetworkAssessment.jpg\")
