Upgrading the network infrastructure is key to using cloud services. If this is omitted, communication between the corporate users, systems and the cloud will not be smooth, and in some cases, we may completely move away from the optimal use of the opportunities inherent in the cloud. It can pose even greater dangers if we do not pay enough attention to frontier security provided by the appropriate tools.

A well-functioning corporate network is like a public utility, electricity or water supply service: we use it on a daily basis almost without noticing, but if something goes wrong, its absence or limited availability can be suddenly all too noticeable and painful. Therefore, it is not indifferent what devices are in service in the network: because not only the continuity of the work processes can depend on them, but also the security of the closely guarded company systems.

Even if a network device is still operational, it will inevitably become obsolete after a while with the development protocols and industry recommendations. And with its obsolescence it can easily make the entire network vulnerable, and corporate systems that can be accessed through it an easy prey for cybercriminals. This is why it is not considered a good thing that the age of the active network devices used by Hungarian companies exceeds eight years (with the exception of the big business segment), as this in itself increases the risk of successful cyber attacks.

Corporate networks should rely on tools that can be used to create stable, secure ecosystems. Tools, which in themselves are capable of acting as a new generation of firewall, filtering out harmful URLs and blocking damaging agents from the net. It is not a secondary aspect either that many additional security services can be implemented on these devices, which help protect classified company data - while also being significantly ahead of their predecessors in terms of energy efficiency.

However, for maximum user experience and comfort of use they are also expected to support Wi-Fi 6 technology, and LAN network can be created with their help. Active network devices are not merely part of the corporate systems but are active components thereof,

The spread of cloud services also requires upgrade of the network infrastructure. If this is omitted, communication between the corporate users, systems and the cloud will not be smooth, and in some cases, we may even completely move away from the optimal use of the opportunities inherent in the cloud. It can pose even greater dangers if we do not pay enough attention to frontier security provided by the appropriate tools.

What is more, the devices offered with Cisco's at least 7-year lifetime warranty are now available from Telekom System Integration under a complex monthly fee plan. This comprises design, devices, licenses, manufacturer support, complete installation and proactive operation. You do not even need to wait for them, as in the case of many hard-to-get IT equipment because of the protracted shortage of chips: until stocks last, they are immediately available from Telekom System Integration, to ensure a stable and long-term solution for updating company networks.
