LATEST INTELLIGENCE with a secure and adaptable network primed to help people deliver value from anywhere . Your capacity for remote work isn ’ t defined by “ it ’ s just like we ’ re in the office !” continuity . It ’ s about supporting a faster , more flexible and disruption-proof route to acceleration .
2 . Security that enhances innovation
A future-proof network helps security become less of a headache and more of an enabler . When you swap a haze of different gateways and systems for a single intuitive dashboard with built- in security updates that prevent threats even while you sleep , you can stop firefighting , get off the patching treadmill , and start saying “ yes ” to the projects and innovations that will drive the future of your business .
3 . A contactless office that ’ s smarter to work in
Your next network should support an IoT fabric of hightech , low-risk office experiences that people want to return to . From facial recognition entrances to employee wearables to smart workstation assistants , your day can be touchless and smarter at the same time .
4 . Monitoring that improves well-being
A change-ready network can help offices quickly adapt to new safety measures . Maybe that means location analytics to track real-time occupancy rates or heat-mapped video feeds to check social distancing in communal areas . Either way , your network can keep your premises safe and your people healthy .
5 . Application control that liberates your capacity
As connectivity needs intensify ( across cloud storage and apps , remote collaboration tools , rich new media formats , and more ), you need a network that dynamically prioritizes every packet according to the value it will create . Advanced QoS configurations and intelligent traffic and bandwidth shaping will be instrumental in balancing seamless experiences with elevated requirements . p
