  • Wi-Fi Evolution: WLAN in the Age of AI

    ·

    Jim Frey

    While much of the technology underpinning wired enterprise networks is mature, the same cannot be said about wireless networks, which continue to change and evolve. Nowhere else is this more evident than within Wi-Fi standards, which endured three major updates in the past 10 years alone, moving from Wi-Fi 5 to Wi-Fi 6 and 6E, and now on to Wi-Fi 7. Each iteration brings new capabilities but also new challenges that can prevent network teams from obtaining the full value of the upgrade. Enterprise Strategy Group recently surveyed networking professionals to gain insights into these trends.

    Jim Frey

    While much of the technology underpinning wired enterprise networks has stabilized and matured, the same cannot be said about wireless networks, which continue to change and evolve. Nowhere else is this more evident than within Wi-Fi standards, which endured three major updates in the past 10 years alone, moving from Wi-Fi 5 to Wi-Fi 6 and 6E, and now on to Wi-Fi 7. Each iteration brings not only new capabilities and features, but also new challenges that can prevent network teams from obtaining the full value of the upgrade. Important new initiatives such as AI and IoT are adding urgency to upgrades, driving efforts to ensure new applications can achieve full potential where wireless LAN technologies are involved.

    To gain further insight into these trends, Enterprise Strategy Group surveyed 370 networking professionals at organizations with 500 or more employees in North America (U.S. and Canada) involved with or responsible for building and managing wireless network technology and processes at their organization.

  • Extreme Connect: Fabric Switching and AI

    ·

    Jim Frey

    At Extreme Connect 2025 in Paris, the top-level theme was about the company’s new, AI-native Extreme Platform ONE solution. And while that is a powerful story in and of itself, another important subtheme emerged around the success its customers are having with Extreme Fabric, a Layer 2 simplified fabric based on Shortest Path Bridging (SPB) that enables network and security automation across campus, branch, and data center.

  • Reaching a Tipping Point With API Security

    ·

    John Grady

    Application security has become more difficult in large part due to the wide range of tactics attackers can use to exploit their targets. APIs in particular have been a growing concern as applications become more interconnected and reliant on microservices. Recent research by Enterprise Strategy Group, now part of Omdia, found that API security vulnerabilities have not been receiving the attention and resources needed to appropriately mitigate growing threats, but that might be changing.

  • Architecting the Network for an AI-powered World

    ·

    Jim Frey

    Enterprise IT stands on the threshold of one of the greatest evolutionary changes in decades with the arrival and expansion of AI and its fast-growing variant, generative AI (GenAI). But to reach the AI promised land, many organizations must invest in significant new compute infrastructure to ensure their networks are ready to play their essential role in supporting AI initiatives. AI-driven network upgrades must deliver increased speed, high throughput, and low latency. TechTarget’s Enterprise Strategy Group recently surveyed network professionals to gain insight into these trends.

    Jim Frey

    Enterprise IT stands on the threshold of one of the greatest evolutionary changes in decades with the arrival and expansion of AI and its fast-growing variant, generative AI. These technologies hold the potential to revolutionize applications and services, taking the businesses they support to new levels of efficiency and profitability.

    But to reach the AI promised land, many organizations must invest in significant new compute infrastructure and ensure their networks are ready to play their essential role in supporting AI initiatives. AI-driven network upgrades must deliver increased speed, high throughput, and low latency, both within GenAI computing clusters and across the entire enterprise so that AI inferencing can be distributed as far out to the edges as necessary.

    To gain further insight into these trends, Enterprise Strategy Group surveyed 370 network professionals at organizations in North America (US and Canada), Western Europe, and the Asia Pacific involved with building and managing network technology and processes.
