ACHIEVING DIGITAL FITNESS THE VALUE OF IP-LEVEL DATA FOR ENTERPRISES

Capturing and processing digital knowledge is similar to fitness performance-monitoring wearable technology. Just as people capture and interpret physical metrics to guide their quest for physical well-being, Enterprises must capture and interpret digital metrics in their quest for digital well-being.

DIGITAL HEALTH IS CENTRAL TO BUSINESS PERFORMANCE To achieve digital fitness, today’s digital enterprise must:

1

CAPTURE digital data universally across the enterprise at the IP/DNS/DHCP level

2

TRANSFORM that raw data into coherent digital information through robust, predictive analytics

3

INTERPRET that information in usecase context to arrive at actionable digital knowledge

A THREE-TIER STRATEGY FOR DIGITAL SELF-KNOWLEDGE Actionable knowledge use-cases The value of IP-level data can only be realized when it is actively applied to specific use-cases. • Internet of Things (IoT) • Hybrid Cloud/Software-Defined Infrastructure • Risk Mitigation and Compliance Information through Analytics Predictive analytics go even further by extrapolating historical behaviors to highlight issues potentially requiring action by IT. IP as the data foundation

6 BILLION CONNECTED THINGS WILL BE REQUESTING SUPPORT*

Reduced Risk Avoid dangers by maintaining the highest level of situational awareness through continuous IP data capture and analysis.

Reduced IT Costs IT organizations that get their IP act together can avoid these all-toofrequent cost hits to accomplish more while maintaining better budget discipline.

THE IP KNOWLEDGE PAYOFF

More pro-active governance Evolve beyond checklist fire-drills by building compliance-guided governance into ongoing IT operations.

Better customer/end-user experience Proactively protecting the digital health of the entire enterprise produces a better customer/user experience.

Enterprise IT organizations that understand their own digital health will be better equipped to meet the escalating demands of the digital enterprise and achieve digital fitness. Those that don’t will spend more, move more slowly, and wind up with consistently poorer outcomes.
