Market Definition
According to Cisco, enterprise network is denoted by IT infrastructure that is utilized by midsize and large organizations to provide connectivity among users, devices, and applications. It aims to support the organizations' objectives by consistently providing connected digital services reliably and securely to end users.
An enterprise network forms the backbone of an organization. It enables users and systems to easily connect wired and wireless devices via different networks such as branch network, remote network, campus network, and data center network. However, this requires advanced and efficient networking devices such as switches and routers to transfer business-critical data between servers, applications, desktops, and more.
