Are You Asking the Right Questions About Your Network?

As networks evolve to support AI, cloud, and real-time digital services, many organizations face a growing gap between what their infrastructure can deliver and what the business demands. Rising complexity, escalating operating costs, power constraints, and closed architectures are no longer technical issues—they are strategic limitations. The most effective leaders start with the right questions.

Essential Questions Every Network Leader Must Tackle

Network Complexity

  • How complex is your network to operate and maintain today?

  • How much operational effort is consumed by managing that complexity?

  • Can your architecture be simplified without compromising scale or resilience?

Operating Costs

  • What proportion of your OPEX is allocated to maintenance versus innovation?

  • Are operational costs increasing faster than revenue growth?

  • Where can efficiencies be unlocked without impacting service quality?

Power Consumption & Sustainability

  • Do you have clear visibility into power usage across network functions?

  • Is power becoming a constraint to scaling your infrastructure?

  • What would reductions in energy consumption mean for margins and ESG goals?

  • Is performance predictable and measurable across all services?

  • How quickly can issues be identified and resolved?

  • What is the business impact of latency, packet loss, or downtime?

Network Performance

Physical Footprint & Real Estate

  • How much physical space does your infrastructure occupy today?

  • Are there opportunities to consolidate sites while increasing capacity?

  • Is real estate being used efficiently across the network?

  • How many physical sites are required to support current and future demand?

  • Does growth still depend on deploying additional sites?

  • Can scale be achieved through architecture rather than expansion?

Network Scale & Physical Sites

  • Is security embedded into the network architecture by design?

  • How well can threats be isolated and mitigated in real time?

  • Are supply-chain and software risks fully understood and managed?

Security & Reliance

Architecture & Vendor Flexibility

  • How open and adaptable is your current architecture?

  • To what extent are you constrained by vendor lock-in?

  • Can new capabilities be introduced without major disruption?

Modernization & Future Readiness

  • Is your network prepared for the next phase of digital and AI-driven services?

  • How much technical debt limits agility and innovation?

  • What would modernization unlock from a business perspective?

  • Can your network be controlled and adapted through software?

  • How long does it take to deploy new services or make changes?

  • Is your infrastructure designed for automation at scale?

Programmability

Intelligence & AI Readiness

  • Is intelligence built into the network, or layered on top?

  • Can your infrastructure learn, adapt, and optimize autonomously?

  • Is your network ready to support AI-native applications and workloads?
