Network Modernization with Dell Technologies & RUCKUS
It’s no surprise that Federal government networks are under more pressure than ever. The number of devices and systems, and the data they generate are growing exponentially. The rise of edge computing and the Internet of Things (IoT) is extending networks further and requiring more data collection and transmission. As AI and machine learning (ML) to 5G gain adoption, data transmission requirements and network complexity increase exponentially.
“A lot of Federal networks, unfortunately, have been neglected.” Said Duke Butler, vice president for business development at RUCKUS, a network solutions provider. “They haven’t had aggressive upgrades, or in some cases, necessary maintenance. They have legacy components that restrict performance and open up security holes.”
Our partners at RUCKUS and Dell Technologies have teamed up to transform Federal Networks to accelerate Network Modernization. The benefits of transforming and modernizing Federal networks are significant.
Benefits of Modernizing Federal Networks:
Network modernization offers several key benefits for the federal government:
- Accelerated Mission Speed: Modern networks, free from the constraints of legacy systems, can significantly enhance the speed, reliability, and security of federal agencies’ operations.
- Integration of Edge Computing and IoT: By modernizing networks, agencies can effectively leverage the potential of edge computing and the Internet of Things (IoT). This enables seamless data collection and analytics, which can improve operational efficiency and decision-making.
- Data-Driven Decision Making: Enhanced network capabilities allow agencies to process and analyze large datasets. This can drive informed decisions and strategic initiatives, leading to improved outcomes and efficiency.
- Future-Proofing with Wi-Fi 7: The advent of Wi-Fi 7 offers unparalleled speeds, reduced latency, and robust capacity. This is essential for supporting next-generation applications and technologies, ensuring that federal networks are prepared for the future.
- Improved Security: Modern networks are better equipped to handle today’s sophisticated cyber threats, providing improved security for sensitive government data.
- Cost Efficiency: While the initial investment may be substantial, modernized networks can lead to significant cost savings in the long run by reducing maintenance costs associated with outdated systems and improving operational efficiency.
- Scalability: Modern networks are designed to be scalable, allowing for easy expansion or modification as the needs of the agency change.
Network modernization can transform federal networks into dynamic, efficient, and secure systems capable of meeting today’s challenges and anticipating tomorrow’s opportunities. It’s a crucial step in ensuring the federal government can effectively serve its mission-critical needs in the digital age.
Multivendor Approach Offers Myriad Benefits
“Many organizations will settle for a single vendor that can check the most boxes. Historically, this solution provides the most mediocre outcome,” said Butler, of RUCKUS. “Multivendor solutions that provide best-of-breed functions, performance, and ability to respond to changing parameters enable the best outcomes.”
Kapoor of Dell Technologies, added that a single vendor approach can limit innovation. “Dependency on a single vendor makes the government heavily reliant on specific technologies, products, and solutions provided by that vendor.,” he said. “That limits the flexibility to switch to an alternative solution that is more advanced.”
These are exactly the types of conversations we at Mvation enjoy. As a Value Added Reseller of IT products across over 1,000 vendors; we believe fully in offering IT Solutions. When we use a multivendor approach, we can choose best in class products across a variety of manufacturers to improve network modernization.
