The Evolution of the Data center and the Need for a Converged Infrastructure

whitePaper | October 24, 2022

Technology-driven organizations have the lead in embracing new technology trends for their digital transformation initiatives. The COVID-19 pandemic introduced unprecedented challenges in terms of disrupted operations, changed delivery models, and the urgent need to support remote work for enterprises in all industries. Technology companies were best able to adjust to the new circumstances, since most were already well into their digital transformation journey. The pandemic further emphasized the need to accelerate digital maturity and align IT investments with changing business needs. Organizations are thus prioritizing solutions that enable IT resource optimization; operational efficiency and customer experience improvement; as well as support an increasingly distributed workforce.

In a growing connected economy, new demands require modern organizations to rethink how they effectively manage their data center environment. Beyond new requirements around the cloud, architectures around edge computing are also placing new strains on business and technology leaders. In a world of constant connectivity performance, efficiency, uptime, and infrastructure visibility take center stage as leaders make decisions around their digital infrastructure.

In the post-pandemic world, we spread data everywhere. As remote and hybrid workforce models become the norm, multi-cloud deployments evolve into the de facto computing standard for distributed workloads. This expands the attack surface well beyond the walls of a traditional data center and overextends already understaffed security teams. As a result, organizations struggle to combat the growing number of insider and outsider threats targeting their invaluable digital assets.

This document focuses primarily on 3GPP Rel-18 - the inaugural release of 5G-Advanced. Initial work on Rel-18 in 3GPP started in 2022 (just before the finalisation of Rel-17), targeting commercialisation from 2024 onwards. As it evolves, 5G-Advanced will play an important role bridging from 5G to 6G with new features previously not standardised in 3GPP

Governments around the world are creating Internet of Things (IoT) security legislation and regulations designed to keep users safe in an increasingly connected world. Connectivity is good and, in fact, great but bad things can happen to people with unprotected or poorly protected IoT devices. Failing to meet government regulations or guidelines may lead to the inability to sell products in a region and thus to lost revenue. However, the regulations are constantly in a state of flux. This white paper provides updated background on what governments are suggesting or requiring as well as specific details on how to implement security defenses and obtain security certifications that can satisfy current and even future government requirements

Networking and security teams have historically relied on protections at the network perimeter to secure the entire enterprise. The internal network was deemed trusted and secure. While everything outside was considered “dirty,” everything on the internal network was considered “clean,” and application traffic would flow unrestricted. However, recent and developing shifts in enterprise working models are having a far-reaching effect on the traditionally managed network perimeter for security. The following trends are making organizations reassess their approach to security:
