Technological advances such as the rise of mobile devices, cloud computing, and the Internet of Things (IoT) have changed the nature of enterprise networks, pushing them beyond the four walls of a business and to the cloud. While today's demands have opened up new avenues for networking, managing this complex network has become more difficult. Attending to these requisites has led to the rise of modern-age networking startups that are ushering a new era for businesses to seamlessly orchestrate, manage, and optimize enterprise networks.The networking industry is witnessing the increased implementation of next-generation analytics across switching and SD-WAN to provide 360-degree views of the network, user, and application. Along with that, advanced networking solutions are also incorporating technologies like machine learning and AI, enabling IT to move from a reactive to a proactive stance in detecting flaws. A major breakthrough brought by these avant-garde startups is being able to find the balance between security and privacy. To make this possible, the startups are offering a decentralized network as opposed to the traditional centralized model. Together with that, the new-age networking solution providers are also bringing in a ton of advanced analytics toolsets, powered by AI to reduce false positives and help network administrators to concentrate their efforts on alleviating the real security threats from their network.For most of these startups, the aim is to make networking simpler: bring more agility to customers' networks while ensuring top-notch privacy and security. That said, the modern networking solution providers are poised to redefine the way real-time networking decisions are made. All these taken together, the networking industry is set to experience new waves of innovation with the proliferation of innovative startups. With that optimism, Enterprise Networking Magazine's editorial board has evaluated the cutting-edge networking startups that not just fulfill a company's "networking vision" but also enable the enterprise to be future-ready.Let us know your thoughts.
