However, the pandemic accelerated them into the mainstream. So, as workforces are increasingly widespread, staying connected is more important than ever.&nbsp;And the key to achieving all of this is a network that works with your business, not against it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The Problem with Legacy Networking: Why it\u2019s time to upgrade<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Legacy networking can\u2019t keep up with the needs of a modern business. Apart from the initial set-up costs, it can be costly to run, a struggle to meet changing requirements, and off the shelf solutions rarely provide exactly what your business needs.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>ngena, a global network-as-a-Service company, empowers businesses to automatically build their own flexible, secure, fully integrated networks \u2013 anywhere in the world \u2013 and cuts the time to get started from weeks to minutes.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We spoke to ngena\u2019s managing director and CEO, Bart de Graaff, about what inspires him, how ngena manages to provide a unique service \u2013 and where the future of connectivity lies for all of us.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image wp-block-image--large \"><img data-src=\"https:\/\/sponsorcontent.cnn.com\/int\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/CEO-100x56.jpg\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/sponsorcontent.cnn.com\/int\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/CEO.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/sponsorcontent.cnn.com\/int\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/CEO-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sponsorcontent.cnn.com\/int\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/CEO-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/sponsorcontent.cnn.com\/int\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/CEO-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sponsorcontent.cnn.com\/int\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/CEO-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/sponsorcontent.cnn.com\/int\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/CEO-1247x701.jpg 1247w, https:\/\/sponsorcontent.cnn.com\/int\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/CEO-826x465.jpg 826w, https:\/\/sponsorcontent.cnn.com\/int\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/CEO-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/sponsorcontent.cnn.com\/int\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/CEO-100x56.jpg 100w, https:\/\/sponsorcontent.cnn.com\/int\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/CEO-520x293.jpg 520w, https:\/\/sponsorcontent.cnn.com\/int\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/CEO-260x146.jpg 260w\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" alt=\"CEO\" class=\"wp-block-image__image lazy\"><figcaption class=\"wp-block-image__caption\">Bart de Graaff<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n<p><strong>You\u2019re motivated by family, nature, and the transformative potential of tech. What is it about these that drives you?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I should show you a picture of my family and you\u2019d understand. My daughters \u2013 who I call the Fantastic Four \u2013 are my focus. I am blessed with a dynamic family, where change is our only constant.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s what appeals me about nature. Outside, you see it evolving on a seasonal basis \u2013 it\u2019s not stable. The same applies to technology. Its transformative power attracts and inspires me.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>There\u2019s a big \u2018as-a-Service\u2019 drive happening across IT. How does ngena fit in to it?&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When ngena was born, we wanted to make this the point of our company. We want all we do to be client oriented, to make their experience better, and to deliver everything \u2018as-a-Service\u2019. A significant challenge considering the networking industry is often utilizing components that are in themselves not very service driven.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, we combined and transformed the components into an end-to-end capability, which you can shape how you want and change when you want. \u2018as-a-Service\u2019 is the way to consume networks, and the technology is rapidly catching up with that thinking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>ngena is a relatively small company, so how does it feel to be working with Cisco, the global networking leader?&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The synergy we\u2019ve found with Cisco is that we can stand on the shoulders of giants. They\u2019re always building and innovating and we are partners with their core business units for networking. Because we\u2019re small and nimble, we can add the flexibility and simplicity clients need to the wonderful technology they create.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Why has building networks been so tricky in the past?&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Connectivity in itself is not an easy thing to do. It\u2019s complex and there are no real global players. We decided that, rather than become a global player, we\u2019d work with local telco champions in each country and combine their capabilities in a virtual global network. Using our platform we provide a global homogenous capability, that creates and operates networks based on your intents, without having to worry about technicalities and local specifities.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image wp-block-image--large \"><img data-src=\"https:\/\/sponsorcontent.cnn.com\/int\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Network-100x56.jpg\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/sponsorcontent.cnn.com\/int\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Network.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/sponsorcontent.cnn.com\/int\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Network-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sponsorcontent.cnn.com\/int\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Network-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/sponsorcontent.cnn.com\/int\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Network-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sponsorcontent.cnn.com\/int\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Network-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/sponsorcontent.cnn.com\/int\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Network-1247x701.jpg 1247w, https:\/\/sponsorcontent.cnn.com\/int\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Network-826x465.jpg 826w, https:\/\/sponsorcontent.cnn.com\/int\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Network-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/sponsorcontent.cnn.com\/int\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Network-100x56.jpg 100w, https:\/\/sponsorcontent.cnn.com\/int\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Network-520x293.jpg 520w, https:\/\/sponsorcontent.cnn.com\/int\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Network-260x146.jpg 260w\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" alt=\"Connectivity\" class=\"wp-block-image__image lazy\"><\/figure>\n\n\n<p><strong>What are the biggest blockers to setting up a network?&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The biggest problem is probably the complexity of migration. It\u2019s a big change and the small fact that your business is 100% dependent on a working network doesn\u2019t make it an easy area to take risk. You need something predictable and controllable that allows you to change traditional technology into new technology without risk. Our cloud platform provides this and reduces the risk of disruptions to its minimum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>When did you realize ngena was going to be a game changer?&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The moment I met Marcus Hacke, ngena\u2019s CTO. He has a very, very deep understanding of the real problems that businesses face. He\u2019s lived through it. We knew ngena was going to revolutionize the network as-a-service. It\u2019s simply solving problems many people haven\u2019t even thought about.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What problems with connectivity did you want to fix?&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First, the lead time in setting up a network as well as simplifying the complexity in configuration. Secondly, getting end-to-end control over the networking. Third, we look to fix the security gaps that a network inherently brings into any corporation.&nbsp;We wanted to build that security into a network that gives you an end-to-end capability, rather than point solutions. <\/p>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image wp-block-image--large \"><img data-src=\"https:\/\/sponsorcontent.cnn.com\/int\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Customer-100x56.jpg\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/sponsorcontent.cnn.com\/int\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Customer.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/sponsorcontent.cnn.com\/int\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Customer-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sponsorcontent.cnn.com\/int\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Customer-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/sponsorcontent.cnn.com\/int\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Customer-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sponsorcontent.cnn.com\/int\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Customer-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/sponsorcontent.cnn.com\/int\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Customer-1247x701.jpg 1247w, https:\/\/sponsorcontent.cnn.com\/int\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Customer-826x465.jpg 826w, https:\/\/sponsorcontent.cnn.com\/int\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Customer-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/sponsorcontent.cnn.com\/int\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Customer-100x56.jpg 100w, https:\/\/sponsorcontent.cnn.com\/int\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Customer-520x293.jpg 520w, https:\/\/sponsorcontent.cnn.com\/int\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Customer-260x146.jpg 260w\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" alt=\"Office\" class=\"wp-block-image__image lazy\"><\/figure>\n\n\n<p><strong>SD-WAN is the technology at the heart of your solutions, but what are the top reasons businesses need to upgrade their IT Networks with it?&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We have seen the adoption of cloud, but its only the beginning. Businesses are moving away from traditional process oriented applications and are adopting a cloud-based approach that focuses on their key asset: data. The availability of the right data at the right time is what makes business successful and the consumption of data needs to be made more flexible and easily adaptable.&nbsp;&nbsp;This explains why transport of data to and from the Edge is so crucial. In 2018-19, the global spend on SD-WAN already started increasing with 90% as business are investing in cloud and data-focussed business. Connectivity has become the defining feature of a modern business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We take this a step further and package it up with other essential features, such as security, automation, and intelligence, into a Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) framework. Essentially, it keeps your data safe, time-intensive manual tasks are automated, and the system learns from your usage to become more efficient.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>So, is there an average ngena customer, or can this help any business, anywhere?&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Everybody needs to upgrade and align themselves to the new business paradigms. But I see more clients who are very distributed, cloud-centric, or know they need to standardize technology to gain maximium speed and benefits. They\u2019ve got a technology mindset already. Those clients find their way quicker to ngena. The rest are on their way.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image wp-block-image--large \"><img data-src=\"https:\/\/sponsorcontent.cnn.com\/int\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Hero-100x56.jpg\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/sponsorcontent.cnn.com\/int\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Hero.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/sponsorcontent.cnn.com\/int\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Hero-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sponsorcontent.cnn.com\/int\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Hero-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/sponsorcontent.cnn.com\/int\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Hero-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sponsorcontent.cnn.com\/int\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Hero-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/sponsorcontent.cnn.com\/int\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Hero-1247x701.jpg 1247w, https:\/\/sponsorcontent.cnn.com\/int\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Hero-826x465.jpg 826w, https:\/\/sponsorcontent.cnn.com\/int\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Hero-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/sponsorcontent.cnn.com\/int\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Hero-100x56.jpg 100w, https:\/\/sponsorcontent.cnn.com\/int\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Hero-520x293.jpg 520w, https:\/\/sponsorcontent.cnn.com\/int\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Hero-260x146.jpg 260w\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" alt=\"Office\" class=\"wp-block-image__image lazy\"><\/figure>\n\n\n<p><strong>The QuickSizer tool helps people configure networks, but is it really as easy as creating a bespoke build and clicking order?&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A client asked, \u2018I\u2019ve got multiple sites where people work, a couple of datacenters and a majority of people working from home using the Cloud and several home-grown applications.
