Introducing the Intelligent Network

Building an intelligent network

Today’s business needs are no longer static. Customer requirements are constantly changing, and they are no longer satisfied with “business as usual” mode of operations. Increasingly, we are seeing the opportunity for businesses to leverage on an intelligent network to enhance their business resiliency and agility.

3 Key business challenges faced by traditional network models

Inflexible data bandwidths	Data does not flow in a constant stream. There are instances where a surge can put a strain on your network, but current network providers are unwilling to release their bandwidth cap without additional contract commitments.
Increased cyber security risk	With new apps, services and devices being connected to your network, there are more entry points that hackers can use to compromise your defenses. Yet service providers are unable to detect or mitigate attacks for East-West traffic within the customers’ network.
Digital transformation	We are always talking about going digital and being more productive but legacy systems do not allow for IT managers to access a centralized control of your network from wherever they may be.

That is why our intelligent network will a be fully Software-Defined Network with Network Functions Virtualisation (SDN-NFV) to empower businesses with a smarter, digital network experience. Gain visibility, control, scalability and security over your entire network from the convenience of a single customer portal that you can access anywhere, anytime.
