To excel in today’s economy, enterprise leaders are focused on accomplishing more with less. The accelerated pace of business transformation in the past four years has only added to the complexity of these goals. Today, with sprawling hybrid, multi-vendor, multi-domain, multi-cloud environments making up the backbone of leading enterprise networks, a focus on hyperautomation is crucial. Even after establishing the goals of an enterprise’s hyperautomation transition, the approach network teams and leadership take to accomplish these goals can lead to differing degrees of success. Hyperautomation…
Over the past 11 years, the world of enterprise IT has witnessed rapid changes in terms of technology adoption, innovation, and scalability.

Since founding ONUG 11 years ago, the ONUG journey offers a fascinating lens through which we can understand these dynamics in greater depth. The Consumer’s Perspective: A Continuous Learning Experience For consumers, the ONUG platform is not just about purchasing solutions. It’s about shared experiences,…
Enterprise networks have evolved beyond just enabling the client-server apps of yesteryear. Your apps are no longer in your data centers, and your users are no longer in the office. Many infrastructure managers are wondering what that expensive WAN is really doing for them. It’s a fair question to ask in the era of cloud-centric hybrid workplaces. At the same time, as users have left the building, IoT and OT devices have proliferated. An enterprise WAN today is carrying less business application traffic and more…
Learn why IDS/IPS is not only relevant in the cloud but required for enterprises. As organizations moved to the cloud, many we’ve spoken with about securing workloads in public cloud asked an important question: since I don’t manage infrastructure anymore (well, mostly), do I still care about infrastructure-level security like IDS/IPS? The short answer is yes, you should. Here is why… As enterprises make the leap to the public cloud (AWS, Azure, Google Cloud Platform, and Oracle), some security problems fade (e.g., infrastructure patching, defending against…

But like any cycle, there is an inevitable shift towards optimization after this period of overconsumption. Today, businesses are pivoting towards grand transformation projects that fuse the cloud’s agility with on-prem resources, integrating Network, Security, OT, and IT into seamless platforms. These transformative steps…
