Emerging Enterprise Network Applications
Enterprise applications have been upgraded to a distributed architecture, hence becoming a vital element in every enterprise. Irrespective of the protocols, the development of the network infrastructure has been revolutionary, across all the business processes. Besides, the industries majoring in software development along the enterprise sector have strived hard to ensure there is a network solution to every network component related to the enterprise system (Rosenthal, 2014). Massive development in the enterprise has raised the level of interconnectivity in various applications. In addition, the recent development in the enterprise network applications has made it easier for organizations to come up with an effective interconnection, which is vital in the integration of the different applications of enterprise management. Hence, giving optimal returns to the organization deployed fully. Over the past few decades, the networks have been able to evolve within the line of organizational needs. This can be determine an in-depth assessment of the communications of the critical system that support implementations of changes in the organization.
Cloud networking.
Given the evolution of network connectivity from 2G to 5G now and the invention of cloud storage, enterprise network application has taken a new turn (Benson, Akella, Shaikh & Sahu, 2011). Cloud networking has enabled the hosting of most of the networking resources, which includes firewalls, among others, to the cloud.
SD-WAN
In full, the initials stand for a software-defined wide area network. As the name suggests, it is a wide area network with a virtual architecture, which gives enterprises leverage for any transport service combination, such as broadband, MPLS internet services, among others to ensure user application is connected securely (Aliyu, Bull & Abdallah, 2017).
Finally, automation and orchestration
Despite the two names being used together, they have a different meaning. Orchestration is responsible for the arrangement of tasks to ensure the workflow is optimized while automation refers to a single job optimization (Hwang, Bai, Tacci, Vukovic, & Anerousis, 2016). Application orchestration would mean both deployments of the application as well as ensuring the application is connected to the other application and the users for optimized communication. The two are today responsible for the optimization of the enterprise network application (Hwang et al., 2016).
