Today’s business processes are undergoing rapid change. People and machines connect to each other, how networks work, the elements and processes involved, and the people who manage and execute them.
Cisco is a global networking equipment manufacturer with revenues of over $50 billion every year. One of the world’s leading network and telecom vendors, it holds 44.3% of the WLAN market share. Networking trends and new technologies are largely determined by Cisco.
In order to train professionals and experts in these emerging technologies, Cisco offers certifications on their products and applications, which prove your expertise. One of the certifications available for the Cisco product suite can help you advance in the IT industry and provide you with opportunities for growth and expertise.
In the decade that began in 2021, experts predict the following technologies and trends:
The Next Generation of Wireless Technology, 5G:
There are Wi-Fi 6 enabled smartphones from Apple, Samsung, and other leading manufacturers. Customers and manufacturers are currently receiving Wi-Fi 6 access points around the world.
Currently, 5G is not widely used but that will change very quickly. With 5G, wireless networks will become faster and more flexible. Businesses can mobilize their workforces, automate to the next level, and support new applications through Cisco’s 5G offerings – all of this enabled by increased network capacity and data rates.
ML (Machine Learning) and AI (Artificial Intelligence) Offer Further Possibilities:
There are many real-time applications of artificial intelligence and machine learning, from smart cities to transportation, security, and networking. In light of current technological advancements, AI and ML’s capabilities and benefits are increasing exponentially. As a consequence, malware and cyber-attacks are also increasing.
In addition to helping you solve many business and networking problems in real time, Cisco ensures your business is powered by intelligence.
Cloud Computing:
You and your competitors are rapidly differentiating based on digital experiences. Cisco plans to triple the number of applications it supports within the next two years, with a 50% increase in the number of apps it supports.
Cisco Intersight is Cisco’s cloud operations platform, which provides intelligent visualization, optimization, and orchestration for all applications and infrastructure across hybrid cloud environments. Cisco Intersight enables businesses to master their hybrid cloud environments in real-time.
DevOps:
There is a close connection between DevOps and software and IT. With the advent of digital transformation, networking is no longer largely driven by hardware but rather by software. Therefore, DevOps is also a powerful tool for managing your network. Two major benefits can be derived from this.
- It improves the communication between engineers and network service designers who are making operational changes to the services.
- Engineers take responsibility for automating network operations. In light of the fact that engineers have the most experience and knowledge of the network, this is a sensible move.
Internet of Things (IoT):
In the Internet of Things, things that have never been connected before are connected to each other. Because networking is becoming less dependent on hardware and applications are becoming more easily accessible, the paradigm of connectivity is rapidly changing.
In addition to connecting assets, applications, and data in real-time, Cisco also enables businesses to apply transformative business changes both inside and outside the office. As a result, your deployments and your business are also protected with cyber security.
SD-WAN:
There are a growing number of companies that require secure access to applications and are willing to pay for it. SD-WAN technology will make new and legacy businesses reexamine their networks as a result of the growth of multi-cloud networking.
Software-defined WAN management is the concept behind SD-WAN. The goal of this project is to lower operational costs and optimize resource usage when deployed across multiple sites. It allows network administrators to make better use of bandwidth and enhance performance without sacrificing security and privacy.
Software-Defined Networking (SDN):
SDN provides speed and agility when you deploy business applications and services. Cisco is making it easier to integrate previously siloed domains across cloud and enterprise, as well as across the wide area network (WAN).
The Application Centric Infrastructure (ACI) is Cisco’s data-centre package and now allows customers to set policies to apply uniform access controls to users, devices, and applications.
Summary:
As networking becomes more software-dependent, IT professionals will need new skills, as well as a high level of adaptability. These skills will enable those who possess them to play a bigger role in their business than ever before.
