Networking Technology has advanced significantly in the past few years as demands for Ethernet as well as Wi-FI have dramatically increased. In addition to supporting a variety of devices, Local Area Networks need to handle traffic generated by a variety of other sources, including streams of live video Network Attached storage (NAS) as well as VoIP (VoIP) cloud, virtualization as well as IoT gadgets and applications have created the need for more bandwidth.

In this article, we’ll examine the Networking technology trends that earned their place in the top 10 by 2022. The demand for high-speed internet cloud, edge computing and cloud models as well as the necessity for the transfer of information between servers has resulted in a shift to the demand for high-speed and low-latency network technology.

1. 5G and Wi-Fi 6 technology

 5G is also known as the fifth generation of technology for cellular. It is distinguished by higher speed, lower latency and increased flexibility of wireless services. It allows organizations to increase the efficiency of their workforces, expand automation, and support new applications that require increased capacity for networks and increased speed data. 5G provides seamless roaming between cell phones and Wi-Fi access. 5G will solve the issue of multiple wireless devices being connected at the same time – and IoT causes more problems because it slows wireless network performance. Wi-Fi 6 is available, but Wi-Fi 6-capable devices like mobile phones and computers must adopt new standards.

2. Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML)

Business and network issues that are complex can be solved in real time with AI as well as ML. The application of user-related cases ranges from small cities to manufacturing security, security, and networking. ML can make predictions from network data and AI can make intelligent decisions in response to those predictions. Advanced analytics in automation systems will allow self-operating networks.

3. Augmented and Virtual Reality

Augmented Reality (AR) as well as VR (VR) technologies enhance the applications and user experiences. AR is typically utilized on tablets and smartphones to display the design of interiors, which allows shop owners to show virtual versions of furniture.

4. Cloud computing

Cloud enables a faster transition from remote work. It also helps better organize remote workspaces and has helped to ensure business continuity in the event of a crisis. Maintaining consistent security and network policies across multiple cloud platforms using the management of multiple clouds.

5. DevOps

DevOps is a part of the development of software and IT. DevOps can improve the communication between engineers and designers of network services to make operational adjustments to the service.

6. Digital transformation

It allows the adoption of digital technology to improve business processes or services, by replacing traditional or manual processes. The process of digitization transforms into a digital form that is stored, processed, and transferred through electronic devices as well as networks.

7. Intent-based network (IBN)

This method bridges the gap between IT and business IT by continuously aligning business intent with all network aspects, including end-to-end service levels, application security policies, compliance, and operational procedures. Networking teams focus on virtually separating IoT devices from other networks through the creation of secured zones known as Microsegments. This enables IoT devices to operate within corporate networks while mitigating risks to other networks.

8. Internet of Things (IoT)

IoT is about connecting the disconnected. A majority of objects aren’t connected but with IoT devices, they are getting the capability to connect and communicate with other devices and individuals, changing how we work.

9. Data Security

 the integrity and reliability of the network is vital to the security. Secure network access is essential to ensure that the access to networks is effective and prevents the entry of various threats or spreading throughout the network

10. SD-WAN

SD-WAN is a method that uses software that manages Wide Area Networks (WANs). This technology helps reduce operational expenses and increases the utilization of resources for multisite deployments. Administrators of networks using this technology can use bandwidth more efficiently and aid in improving the performance of critical business applications, without compromising data security or privacy.

SD concept of SD-WAN technologies divides both the plane of control and the plane for data. They also consolidate the control plane, in which multiple devices can be controlled. The control plane is an open service that is accessible to all the administrators within an organization or multi-tenancy environment.

SD-WAN supports on-premises data centres, Software-as-a-service (SaaS) and public cloud infrastructure-as-a-service (PaaS) applications to optimize their performance. SD-WAN provides security to all users and devices regardless of their physical location.

Conclusion

In conclusion, the rapid evolution of networking technologies mirrors the increasing demands and complexities of modern infrastructures. With the surge in Ethernet and Wi-Fi usage, as well as the proliferation of devices and data-intensive applications like IoT and cloud computing, the need for high-speed, low-latency networks becomes paramount. Emerging trends such as 5G and Wi-Fi 6, Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML), augmented and virtual reality, cloud computing, DevOps, digital transformation, Intent-based networking (IBN), Internet of Things (IoT), data security, and SD-WAN are reshaping the networking landscape. These advancements not only boost efficiency, productivity, and user experiences but also address critical concerns like network security and scalability.
