Understanding the Benefits of Private 5G
The private 5G network market is expected to expand at a CAGR of 47.5% from 2022 to 2030.
The changing dynamics in the enterprise as a result of the COVID pandemic, migration to multicloud, and new application requirements have elevated the network to the status of essential infrastructure. High availability, performance, and security are essential features of a network that needs to adapt to constantly changing requirements. These trends have amplified the demand for enterprise IT to deliver high-availability, secure network services anywhere, anytime, and on any device.
Delivering services that meet or exceed users’ expectations means that networks need to be highly flexible, automated, and efficient. This drives two key requirements for enterprise managed WAN, WiFi, wired LAN services, and security services:
• Common cloud management to simplify and streamline all network management functions
• Artificial intelligence for IT operations (AIOps) to perform event correlation, root-cause analysis, and automatic or semiautomatic problem resolution before problems arise
ACG Research developed a business case model for SD-WAN, WiFi, and wired LAN services. The total cost of ownership (TCO) model includes both capital expense (CapEx) and operation expense (OpEx) for two scenarios:
1. An enterprise’s network with Juniper Networks wired, wireless, and SD-WAN driven by Mist AI
2. An enterprise’s network without Juniper Networks wired, wireless, and SD-WAN driven by Mist AI
