Forward Networks named as a Sample Vendor

It seems as if there is a new networking technology announced every day. When faced with a deluge of information and vendors seeking your attention, it’s easy to get overwhelmed. We feel the Gartner Hype Cycle reports seek to tame the confusion by objectively reviewing new technologies and applications and offering IT leaders a view of how new additions to the market will evolve over time. Gartner Hype Cycles provide a graphic representation of the maturity and adoption of technologies and applications, and how they are potentially relevant to solving real business problems and exploiting new opportunities. I&O networking leaders can use this research to prioritize investment and optimize adoption of emerging network technologies.

The Gartner Hype Cycle for Enterprise Networking 2024 describes the 29 most hyped innovations in networking. Each hyped technology is defined, the report describes its value, and identifies adoption drivers and inhibitors of growth. More than one-third of the technologies profiled in this research have changed from last year. This year, Network Digital Twins are identified as a transformational technology.

Forward Enterprise is the most comprehensive and sophisticated network digital twin available. The platform empowers engineers to improve network security, query the network like a database, prove compliance, gain visibility across the global network, and drill down to a single device or instance.

The network is constantly changing to keep up with business demands. Organizations are pushing to make changes faster and with greater accuracy at a time when there’s a limited number of skilled technical resources. A network digital twin can mitigate these issues.

Gartner predicts that a network digital twin can improve delivery times for requests by 20% across the network.

Forward Networks would like to offer you a complimentary copy of the report to discover more on:

“Over 80% of network problems are due to improper configuration and issues with change management.”

“More than 15% of security breaches are caused by misconfigured cloud services.”
