Facing big data

Data overload has made effectively analyzing relevant data increasingly difficult.
IP networks are projected to deliver 321% more data from 2017 to 2022.
An estimated 150,700 GB of data per second will be consumed by 2022.
28 billion connected devices are expected to be in active use by 2022.

Overcoming data overload

Nimbly handling and taking advantage of large quantities of data requires investments in:
The edge
where data is collected, classified and analyzed before it’s transferred to a central database.
Artificial intelligence
to automate manual processes, detect network anomalies and provide strategic insights.
Machine learning
that allows systems to learn from data and continuously improve from experience.
Internet of Things (IoT)
devices to collect data without human interaction.
Software-defined networking (SDN)
technology that redirects traffic without relying on hardware to make decisions.
