 The digital landscape is characterized by increasing complexity, driven by several key trends:

• Cloud computing: 83% of enterprise workloads will be in the cloud by 2025. The rapid adoption of cloud services, encompassing IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS, has fundamentally changed IT infrastructure.
• IoT Expansion: IoT devices are generating massive amounts of data, demanding robust networks and advanced data management. The number of connected devices is expected to reach 30 billion by 2025.
• 5G Technology: The deployment of 5G networks is revolutionizing industries by enabling low-latency applications, high-speed data transfer, and massive device connectivity.
• Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning: The global AI market is expected to reach $190 billion by 2025. The integration of AI and ML is driving innovation across sectors.
• Hybrid Workforces: By 2023, a staggering 70% of enterprises relied on the internet for branch and remote office connections, placing immense pressure on WAN links.
• Cybersecurity Threats: The evolving threat landscape demands robust network security measures to protect sensitive data and systems from cyberattacks.

The Ever-Evolving Digital Landscape:

As businesses have shifted to remote work, embraced IoT, prioritized cybersecurity, opened more branch offices, and adopted hybrid work models, their networks have become increasingly complex.

This complexity has led to challenges in managing network performance, security, and scalability. Siloed SD-WAN solutions have fallen short of meeting the diverse needs of modern enterprises. To address these challenges, organizations are seeking unified solutions that offer a more comprehensive and integrated approach to network management.

Network Challenges Hindering Business Growth:

• Customer Experience: “I want my teams to have a complete view of the in-store and omni-channel user (visitor) experience.”
• Time to Market: I want a faster time to market with no significant investments.
• Business Expansion: My expansion plans are slowed. New sites and branches take time to go live in terms of network infrastructure establishment.
• Network Security: I need complete Network security: A network that’s vulnerable to external threats leads to business risk.
• Multi-Vendor Management: I don’t want my teams to coordinate with multiple vendors because it becomes a cumbersome task, eliminating the multi-vendor landscape.

To address these issues, a next-generation flexible solution was required, with centralized control that enabled accelerated deployments, enhanced security, and optimized performance, transforming how organizations manage their branch networks. A unified, one-stop branch solution emerged as a response. By integrating wireless, wired, and WAN infrastructure.

Airtel brings ‘SD-Branch’, which is your all-in-one solution to gain complete control over your branch network by combining managed Wi-Fi, SD-WAN, and security into a single cloud-first platform. This integration accelerates digital transformation, boosts productivity, strengthens security, and optimizes costs. By providing:
