evolving enterprise networks for future initiatives - the importance of a lifecycle approach
DESCRIPTION
Watch the video where IDC and Dimension Data explain these slides here: https://plus.google.com/u/0/events/cst8n88thku8for3odj6vihj8bs The ICT industry is in the midst of a shift to a new technology platform for growth and innovation, a shift that occurs once every 20-25 years. IDC terms this the '3rd Platform' - built on mobile devices and apps, cloud services, mobile broadband networks, big data analytics, and social technologies. By 2020, when the ICT industry reaches USD 5 trillion - USD 1.7 trillion larger than it is today - at least 80% of the industry's growth, and organisations' highest-value leverage of IT, will be driven by these 3rd Platform technologies. In addition, there'll be an explosion of new solutions built on the new platform and rapidly expanding consumption of 3rd Platform technologies in emerging markets. Today, 3rd Platform technologies and the services around them generate only about 20% of all IT spending, but they are growing, collectively, at about 18% per year - six times the rate of the rest of the IT industry. As we look toward 2020, it's easy to see that these technologies will inevitably become the 80% of all IT spending.TRANSCRIPT

A Holistic View of IT, Networks and Applications Increased network complexity due to the impact
of the 3rd Platform• Mobile, Collaboration and Cloud impacts
Understanding workloads, capacity, velocity and security concerns are essential
Development of plan for network consistency and health• Leverage assessments to build an inventory of
assets, ranking and status of devices and a roadmap for maintenance

Reviews the status of networks globally
Aggregates data from the 233 Technology Lifecycle Management (TLM) Assessmentsconducted across the world in 2012 and compares them to the data from the past 5 years.
Reviews networks’ readiness to support business by reviewing network device:
• End-of-Life status
• Security vulnerabilities
• IOS Version Management
Investigates architectural networking trends

The percentage of client networks that have entered the
obsolescence cycle increased in 2012
Average % of devices beyond EoS by Region
• This year’s results show that the overall percentage of devices that have progressed to EoS and beyond has increased steadily over the past 4 years.

More even distribution of devices by lifecycle stage
Milestone distribution of devices by end of life cycle stage
• The percentage of devices that were only EoS has dropped from 70% in 2011 to 58% in 2012
• The percentage of devices that were ‘late’ in their product lifecycle increased, with EoE increasing from 8% last year to 23% this year and LDoS increasing from 9% last year to 18% this year.
