By 2030, people will own 15 connected devices and businesses need to be ready to interact with their customers in the future, now.
Welcome to PBC DataCom we are an end-to-end provider of Network Infrastructure Solutions. With the rise of Data transmission, IoT and the implementation of edge computing, we wanted to provide a bit more info on trends in the marketplace and are starting a weekly series covering different topics in the DataCom space starting this week on a basic overview of Network Infrastructure 101.
EDGE COMPUTING AND IoT
The expanding footprint of these connected devices, has created and increased demand for a robust network infrastructure for most companies and buildings. Because of the need of higher bandwidth and power while limiting the rise in temperature, power-over-ethernet (poe) network systems are critical to ensuring business relevance. With more devices than ever requiring continuous, high speed transmission of big data, the importance of a well thought out system is only expected to rise.
By 2030 there will be 50 billion IoT Devices
Network infrastructure is the hardware and software resources of an entire network that enable network connectivity, communication, operations and management of an enterprise network. It provides the communication path and services between users, processes, applications, services and external networks/the internet. Essentially unifying the IT network for Data, Voice and Video Transmission. There is more data than ever before being transmitted from another and its the Network Infrastructure that makes that possible, it literally is the lifeline of the modern business.
A building or business’s network system infrastructure is the most important piece of their IT strategy
This means your network infrastructure should be one of the better funded initiatives of the IT budget. You wouldn’t build a building with poor materials and the same can be said about your companies network. Ensuring you work with a service provider that uses quality materials and knows the design best practices is key to a strong, secure and scalable solution. With more devices and sensors expected to be deployed in the next 5 years, your system needs to be able to grow as your business and data needs do.
In addition to IoT and Edge devices, you still need keep in mind in mind wireless deployment, full system management systems and cloud requirements, which we will cover in more depth in the coming weeks.
PBC Datacom is ready to handle your large network systems projects from sales to installation. Check back next week for a bit deeper dive into IoT and Edge!
