Networking Trend

Network Design and Management Trends Student’s Name Institution Affiliation Introduction Every year presents its unique innovations in the network design and management sector that have enabled the field to make great strides in digital network management transformations. A review of the recent innovations within the last three years is a clear indication that we stand at the edge of some major networking technology shifts that will pave way for the shaping of future networking environments in 2017 and beyond. Some of the major innovation accelerations i.e. the deployment of huge data centers, big data and cloud computing services there is need for network enterprises to continuously evolve and recalibrate the network. Unlike in traditional models of measuring network performance and enhancement, the current evolutions in the network industry are focused in software enhancements rather than hardware speed accelerations. The network management tools are aimed at optimization of performance as well as improving the cost savings. Virtualization Network design and management is one of the sectors that have primarily benefited from virtualization as it supports all level business network management operations. Small, medium and large sized organizations are adopting virtualization in combination to other hybrid systems to ensure that there is reduction in costs of operation, management of network operational and ensuring for business continuity (Albert, 2017). There is a wide range of innovations in virtualization ranging from virtualization monitoring to the internal and external storage of resources to facilitate service delivery and different provisions for applications. There has been an increased preference of cloud based hosting in comparison to physical accessibility of resources locally. New hypervisors implemented on (x36) processors have expanded the usage of virtualization to small enterprise networks unlike in the past whereby virtualization was limited to mainframes that were expensive. The primary point of consideration is not in the cost but rather on migration of services to virtualization to decrease the dependency on Physical resources. The idea of green computing is being promoted by innovations like virtualization through reduced power consumptions as the amount of hardware implemented in virtualization is low. On the same idea, virtualization decreases the costs of maintenance due to low availability of devices for every installation of virtual machi...
