Explanation

By using standard protocols at the boundaries, businesses can enable interoperability among the network segments and gain both agility and scale. Note: Industry analysts predict that these trends--service-oriented architectures, server virtualization, video and collaboration, and widespread mobility--will bring a legacy network to a breaking point if proactive steps are not taken to prepare. According to Gartner, businesses that don't segment their network infrastructure will suffer higher costs and increased vendor lock-in. No longer can the network exist as a single, homogenous entity. There are simply too many variables to consider at any one time. Instead, networks must be designed to meet the unique requirements of the data center, corporate campus, and branch office. By segmenting their networks, enterprises will be able to more easily align business initiatives with the underlying network requirements. Instead, enterprises can create functional building blocks that will meet the requirements of the specific application or business service. With this segmentation of functional building blocks, businesses can choose best-in-class solutions that fit their needs, rather than being locked into a one-size-fits-all solution. By using standard protocols at the boundaries, businesses can enable interoperability among the network segments and gain both agility and
