IT networks designed for earlier use cases can less and less meet the challenges of today. Magyar Telekom helps its customers find the complex IT and telecommunications solution that best fits for the achievement of their business goals, their capabilities and market environment and satisfies all needs, and can efficiently implement it.

How long can conventional networks support digitalization?

Conventional wide area networks (WAN) that interconnect global offices or institutional infrastructure units operating in a larger geographic unit, e.g. a country, can less and less keep pace with digitalization. It is not surprising because they were designed for a completely different age: less data, less and simpler software.

Now, data traffic is sky-rocketing, management of applications with cloud-based services is becoming more complex. Reliable and predictable performance remains a basic requirement, but the performance of these old solutions is hardly transparent. At the same time, they are slow, with limited possibility for expansion, increasingly burdensome and expensive operation, they become unmanageable in the old way. Earlier networks are mostly not sufficiently prepared for today’s safety requirements either. This means an increasing threat to organizations enabling remote access to their vast IT infrastructure, e.g. in terms of appropriate protection of the business-critical systems.

Blurring boundaries, flexible IT network services

While the physical boundaries between companies are blurring, a disruptive transformation takes place in the world of IT and telecommunications services: new service provider models are created, flexibility is defined in completely new ways. The landscape is made more complex by the fact that IT and telecommunications network services are increasingly competing with each other – even within the same enterprise –, while the technologies converge.

It is increasingly difficult to navigate in these circumstances changing day by day at high speed, and it requires more and more energy. At the same time, an efficient response to the above challenges can be given exclusively with a system approach, by eliminating the silo approach. Without adaptivity, there is no optimum, only dissatisfied customers.

⁣What does this mean in practice?

First, automated, safe and resource-optimized access from anywhere, at any time, with any tool to applications and work areas in the cloud via Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) that combines network safety functions with WAN capabilities. Additionally, integrated management of wide area and local networks with the SD-WAN (Software Defined Wide Area Network) service that offers an up-to-date solution for building and managing virtual private networks, whether it is single-endpoint internet-based network or wide area network that spans large geographic distances. Additionally, advanced and easy-to-adapt on-premise solutions, and innovative business intelligence tools that can be linked with network optimization and multi-level service management also to the SD-WAN solution that offers outstanding safety and business continuity. Finally, a single service provider instead of fragmentation, a single contract instead of lots of documents, a single bill instead of difficult-to-follow costs.
