As enterprises continue to scale and grow, private networks offer a way to completely control connectivity. By building a private network, IT organizations can establish their own methods for connecting to internet resources, barring out any access from non-company sources. Without the proper infrastructure, however, private network implementations are easier said than done.
Join Bhupesh Agrawal, Director of Private Networks & Edge Computing at Intel, as he describes how Intel serves as the backbone of today’s private network implementations in this Tech Field Day showcase by Gestalt IT.
