Many network teams in higher education are having to work with outdated infrastructure due to budget constraints. However, the cost of staying stagnant could be much higher, both financially and in terms of reputation.
Outdated networks have a 66% higher risk of being hit with a cyberattack. Patching can only do so much. There comes a point in any infrastructure lifecycle where vulnerabilities are unavoidable.
Modern network infrastructure consumes 77% less power than legacy networks. You might be incurring unnecessary financial and environmental costs from infrastructure your university no longer needs.
Digital teams can spend up to 50% more time resolving incidents with an outdated network. Legacy infrastructure blocks teams from taking full advantage of automation to identify and resolve network anomalies faster.
88% of students are using generative AI tools during their studies. BYOD and online resources already test the network. Adding AI usage to the mix takes the North-South traffic challenge to another level.
