Hybrid work drives changes to on-premises networks
Find out how enterprises are looking to revamp their on-premises networks to accommodate remote and hybrid work habits.
Impact of Hybrid Work on Network Requirements
Hybrid work is driving significant changes to on-premises networks, including increased bandwidth demands and the need for upgraded Wi-Fi connectivity. IT professionals have reported that nearly 80% have seen a rise in bandwidth demand due to the increased use of real-time communications applications, such as voice and video, by hybrid workers.
Challenges of Network Access Controls
Managing network access for hybrid workers can be complex due to the need for different access controls for on-premises and remote work. About 76% of IT professionals indicate a need to unify these access policies, yet only 27% are satisfied with the progress made in this area. This complexity can lead to security risks and user friction.
Mobile Connectivity Needs in the Office
Hybrid workers require enhanced mobile connectivity as they spend less time at desks and more time in meetings or collaborative spaces. Nearly 90% of IT professionals have noted that the presence of hybrid workers has prompted the need to expand or upgrade Wi-Fi networks to support their mobility and the use of location-based services.
