Ruijie Networks releases "Digital Force Awakening Plan"

With the global industrial economy accelerating towards the digital economy, and the more profound business model changes brought about by information technology in the post-epidemic era, accelerating digital transformation has become an inevitable choice for enterprises. According to a McKinsey survey, by 2025, the application of digital breakthrough technologies will bring an economic impact value of up to 1.2 trillion to 3.7 trillion US dollars per year, and highly digital transformation will increase corporate revenue and profit growth rates by 2.4 times the average level; on the other hand, the agency's survey of more than 800 traditional companies worldwide also showed that the failure rate of digital transformation of enterprises is as high as 80%.

To help industry enterprises successfully achieve digital transformation and ensure a better transformation experience, on April 21, Ruijie Networks held a media conference on enterprise industry solutions with the theme of "Light and Cloud Convergence, Enjoyable Transformation", and officially released the enterprise "Digital Force Awakening Plan" and a package of "Digital Force Awakening" solutions.

Lei Chunming, Marketing Director of Ruijie Networks' Enterprise Industry Department, said: "Digital force is the advantage of digital infrastructure. Today, digital force is like DNA, closely integrated with key elements such as management, productivity, innovation, and market power that constitute the core competitiveness of enterprises, and has become an important 'force' for enterprise competition and development. Ruijie launched the Enterprise Digital Force Awakening Plan with the theme of 'Light and Cloud Convergence, Enjoyable Transformation', which aims to help enterprises unleash digital potential and create digital value through 'awakening'; and to bring enterprises a fast, secure, and efficient digital transformation experience through 'enjoyable'."

He said that the plan is based on Ruijie's deep insight into the development trends of the enterprise network market and the pain points of actual application scenarios in enterprise digital transformation. Helping enterprises to "build digital advantages", "catalyze business innovation", "achieve cost reduction and efficiency improvement", and "bring a better transformation experience" are the four core strategic goals of the plan.

Insight into industry trends and grasp the pain points of scenarios

Lei Chunming introduced that the essence of enterprise digital transformation is to reshape the business model of enterprises through the "strategic" use of data and IT technology, and to achieve the three core goals of transformation, innovation and growth. At this press conference, Ruijie Network combined the forecast of the authoritative data consulting agency IDC and the insight into the pain points of actual application scenarios of enterprises to sort out the many challenges faced by enterprises in digital transformation.

First, in terms of the development of all-optical LAN and Wi-Fi, Ruijie believes that the current "optical fiber replacing copper fiber" has become an inevitable choice for the construction and upgrading of enterprise smart parks, and wireless networks will play an increasingly important role in the industrial Internet. At the same time, the difficulty of construction, long cycle, and high cost faced by the deployment of production workshop networks due to the increase or change of information points, as well as the strong demand for UPS in key security areas, difficulty in deployment, and high cost are common problems faced by traditional manufacturing companies in digital transformation; and in the deployment of industrial wireless networks, companies are still faced with how to ensure the continuous and uninterrupted operation of production wireless services 24 hours a day, the lack of wired flexibility and wireless reliability of industrial data collection and control, and how to improve production wireless security and operation and maintenance efficiency.

Secondly, in terms of data security and hybrid office, Ruijie believes that data protection governance and collaborative office under the hybrid office model will become one of the important difficulties faced by current enterprises in digital transformation. How to quickly obtain desktops and data through various devices, how to ensure a smooth experience in various complex environments, and how to ensure data security under mobile office have become the most realistic challenges. The interruption of work caused by the change of office location, the security risks caused by the expansion of access scope, and the huge investment required to meet the hybrid office have also become prominent scene pain points.

Finally, regarding the development trend of SD-WAN integration, Ruijie believes that manufacturing enterprises, retail chains, express logistics, real estate and hotels and other industries urgently need low-cost, good experience, high efficiency and security multi-cloud network interconnection solutions. In these industries, the enterprise headquarters and branch interconnection networks face challenges such as the difficulty of traditional WAN to achieve diversification and multi-cloud and multi-network interconnection, the difficulty of Internet lines to guarantee business application experience, slow branch network deployment, long service launch cycle, and difficulty in network operation and maintenance, and slow location and resolution of business problems.

A package of digital force awakening solutions to help enterprises enjoy digital transformation

In order to help enterprises cope with the above-mentioned digital transformation challenges, solve the pain points of application scenarios, achieve efficiency improvement and cost reduction, and gain stronger market competitive advantages, Ruijie Network has launched the Digital Force Awakening Plan for the enterprise industry. The plan aims to help enterprises awaken their digital power and improve their competitiveness through the power of light, cloud, and intelligence through minimalist optical, triple-engine cloud desktop, and SD-WAN solutions based on SD-WAN technology. Ruijie Network's excellent full-scenario innovation capabilities and rich experience in digital transformation across the industry will enable customers to enjoy a pleasant transformation experience.
