The three key considerations when planning a significant LAN upgrade, or complete refresh, relate to cost, technical requirements, and the ability of the infrastructure to meet the needs of the business. Info-Tech recently spoke to 20 clients and surveyed 115 IT professionals about their recent or planned LAN refresh projects. Through this research, it became evident that the LAN is now considered critical infrastructure that delivers essential services and is not often subject to the same rigorous financial analysis as many other high-value IT projects. The primary planning considerations include:
- What business requirements are driving the LAN refresh today?
- What technical capabilities are necessary to support the business needs?
- Will the LAN infrastructure be able to meet the technical and business needs in the next 4 to 6 years?
This research note examines how organizations should address these primary questions, and ensure full value is derived from the refreshed LAN infrastructure over its useful life.
