SP TECH SUMMIT FAQs RESOURCES ## Your Services Are Evolving. Is Your Network? ##### Customer expectations are rising for new, innovative services and better experiences. Consumers are asking you to provide them with dependable, high-speed internet that connects them to the people, devices, and services they care about. Businesses are relying on you to help them support their digital workplace by providing services to their remote, roaming, and hybrid workforce. Both are rapidly consuming bandwidth and expecting more performance and reliability with better customer support. Are you positioned to meet these rising expectations with an infrastructure that can also deliver new services and revenue streams? ## Common Challenges #### Bandwidth Demands Difficulty meeting bandwidth demand as customers connect more devices and leverage the internet more prominently in their businesses and homes.  #### Connectivity Issues Frequently troubleshooting connectivity issues with root causes stemming from insufficient network bandwidth, hardware and software issues, and security incidents.  #### Outdated Infrastructure Outdated infrastructure design that has you struggling to maintain and operate a redundant and reliable infrastructure for your customers. #### Security Disruptions Increasing issues in protecting your infrastructure from attacks including DDOS and Ransomware and effectively remediating these disruptions when they occur.     #### Manual Network Administration Difficulty finding and staffing qualified engineers to support a growing network due to manual configuration and remediation. And, inconsistent configuration creates errors and vulnerabilities in the network. ## Solutions & Partner Recommendations ### Service Provider Networking [** #### A10 Networks Load Balancing, IPv4 Preservation and IPv6 Migration ](https://www.ineteng.com/blog/benefits-of-application-delivery-for-multicloud-architectures-with-a10-networks?hsLang=en) [** #### Cisco Software Defined Networking (SDN) ](https://www.ineteng.com/networking/software-defined-networking?hsLang=en) ** #### Bluecat & Infoblox DNS, DHCP and IPAM [** #### Radware DDoS Protection and Mitigation ](https://www.ineteng.com/blog/4-steps-to-protect-your-network-from-ddos-attacks-as-a-service-provider?hsLang=en) ### Network Security [** #### Cisco Next Gen Firewalls (NGFW), DNS Protection ](https://www.ineteng.com/2022-cisco-secure-firewall-free-demo?hsLang=en) [** #### Duo Multi-factor Authentication (MFA) ](https://www.ineteng.com/2021-secure-access-bu-duo-free-trial?hsLang=en) ** #### Varonis Data Security ** #### Tenable Vulnerability Scanning ** #### Palo Alto Firewalls, DNS Protection ### Data Center & Cloud Hosting [** #### Pure, Nutanix, Cisco, Dell Storage, Converged & Hyperconverged Infrastructure ](https://www.ineteng.com/data-center-management/converged?hsLang=en) ** #### Cisco, Nutanix, Dell Servers ** #### Cohesity, Zerto, Veeam Back up & Recovery, Disaster Recovery and Bus.
