Notes: **Next Generation Networks: Can you Read the Leaves and Plan the Way Forward?**

From the widespread popularity of VR gaming and acceptance of AI-powered IoT applications to the rising interest in cryptocurrency, digital world is witnessing a [arduino][1] boom. These technological advancements are substantially dependent on the network; it is the network performance that determines the efficiency of these apps and services.
 
**How can the Service Providers Stay Relevant?**

Though the continuous innovation in technology implies endless opportunities for us to reap benefits, it is possible only if our network is well-prepared to deliver what the consumers and the businesses expect of it. Being the critical infrastructure for any enterprise, a network must have:
•	State-of-the-art network security system to deal with emerging cybersecurity threat in the age of AI. 
•	Evolved ecosystem to help the organizations and businesses to stay resilient and relevant. 
•	Enhanced features to support next generation network(NGN) to fulfil the end user demands. 

**NGN: What’s in Store?**

Our conventional networks are hardware-driven, and use disintegrated, sometimes inefficient, technology for operational purposes. Thus, performance inequality issues are not unheard of and exert pressure on the performance management division of service providers. However, unless the IT professionals have a holistic view of the network demands, they remain ill-equipped to respond to them. As the network paradigm shifts, following features will help NGNs stay more efficient, relevant, and responsive. 
•	Software-defined networks
•	Management plane providing a holistic view of the net and demands on the system.
•	An end-to-end view of the network to identify the issues readily and manage them without deteriorating the network performance.
•	Scaled networks to fulfil the quality network performance demands, especially, with the advent of VR/AR-driven technologies, from gaming to manufacturing and beyond. 
•	IoT will drive the need for automated network management.

**NGN Adaptation**

The key to managing a network of the future is to go for software-defined network (SDN) solutions. The service providers can opt for managed IT services (insourced and/or outsourced) to stay relevant. With the delivery and management of SDN solutions out of the way, the service providing organization can direct their energies towards maintaining a competitive edge in this dynamic industry.
