Checking the pipes

The network is the business, these days anyway. Brainstorm takes a look at how CIOs can keep theirs current, relevant and deliver the goods.

01 March 2007

Just how quickly organisations can get the right information to the right people, in the right place, at the right time can be a critical factor in day-to-day operations. Underlying all the software and systems that enable this information to be extracted, packaged and transmitted in useable format, is the network. Yup, the good old network. Frequently the source of many acronyms, frustrations and much hair-tearing over the years, the network has now become a competitive differentiator.

Of course, now that it's a competitive differentiator, it's the cause of more hair-tearing for CIOs who have the responsibility of ensuring that networks are able to cope with today's requirements, tomorrow's requirements and possibly never-to-be-realised requirements, all without necessitating regular patching or ripping-and-replacing.
