The Next Big Network

As many federal agencies move away from on-premise networks, they are often plunged straight into the exciting, but intimidating, world of future network architectures. This information technology transformation allows government to achieve mission success with more agility as well as analyze the increasing amounts of data. It is important that any agency's modernization roadmap considers how their network can handle the Internet of Things and advanced technologies like virtual reality. However, it’s also important that new networks deliver quality user experience and maintain a high level of security. Especially considering the transition to GSA’s Enterprise Infrastructure Solutions and the most updated version of the Trusted Internet Connection policy. During this Nextgov webcast, government thought leaders, researchers, and industry experts came together to discuss topics such as 5G, edge computing and software defined networks.
