Welcome
Campus networks are undergoing another massive transition in the post-COVID era. As administrators adapt to the shifting boundaries between the office and home around the world, the campus is evolving to distributed workspaces with several cognitive attributes:
- Identity must accompany the user and their profiles across their location(s).
- Every user may have multiple devices with associated addresses that need to be managed as a unified edge.
- One also needs a data-driven model to ingest diverse and multi-vendor data sets across clients to users and devices from and to the cloud.
- With the collapse of the perimeter and virulent threats, security and user experience must be redefined from point products to a more holistic zero trust network with segmentation situational awareness and proactive AI-driven threat detection and response.
- The network must be designed for integrated segmentation, encryption and intrusion prevention to ensure who talks to whom, prevent access and enforce the appropriate business rules. Read more

Next-Gen Campus Connectivity Must Start by Defining the End-User Experience
- Tim Zimmerman
- Foundational: Refreshed 15 December 2020, Published 23 August 2019
Knowing the bandwidth, latency and mobility requirements for all end users and devices is a vital requirement when implementing a next-generation campus network. I&O leaders must use these best practices or risk dissatisfied end users and additional costs to fix.
Key Challenges
- Based on a Gartner survey of wired and wireless LAN customers, 80% of enterprises have non-IT assets such as video surveillance, access security or line-of-business (LOB) assets attached to the network infrastructure that IT has the responsibility to secure and maintain.
- More than 75% of enterprises had their network configuration and applications validated by the vendor, but more than 50% required some kind of Day 1 modifications.
- More than 90% of infrastructure and operations (I&O) leaders surveyed want a high-availability campus network, with 77% wanting more than 99.99 uptime from vendors.
- Resellers and implementers are trained to install specific vendor solutions rather than try to understand the end-user experience that is needed to optimize business application productivity.
