What the Arista Acquisition of VeloCloud Means for the Future of Managed SD-WAN
In today’s manufacturing and enterprise environments, the old security adage of “trust but verify” is no longer enough. With the rapid adoption of cloud services, remote working, and the ever-increasing sophistication of cyber threats, IT managers are under pressure to rethink how their organisations approach network security. The answer for many is Zero Trust — a modern framework that’s transforming how businesses protect their data, users, and operations.
Why Internet Redundancy Is Non-Negotiable for Manufacturing
With high production targets, ensuring maximum uptime in a factory is critical. The ultimate goal is uninterrupted operations and a relentless 24/7 factory environment. Meeting stringent production schedules, maintaining quality control, and supporting complex logistical functions requires a robust, “always on” connectivity strategy. Therefore, Internet redundancy can be seen as a crucial element for business continuity.
Manufacturing Under Siege: 5 Critical Network Priorities That Could Save Your Business in 2025
The manufacturing industry is facing an unprecedented cybersecurity crisis, and the statistics are genuinely alarming. A comprehensive survey reveals that 84% of manufacturing leaders fear malware and ransomware attacks above all other threats, whilst 68% of IT teams are dangerously understaffed to handle growing network complexities. With manufacturing accounting for 25.7% of all cyberattacks globally, IT managers can no longer afford to treat network security as an afterthought.

Top 5 Technology Trends Shaping Manufacturing in 2025
The past five years have been a whirlwind for manufacturers. From pandemic-induced supply chain disruptions to geopolitical tensions, economic shifts, and rapid digitalization, the industry has faced challenge after challenge. Yet, these disruptions have also paved the way for a more resilient, agile, and technology-driven future.
For IT leaders in manufacturing, 2025 is shaping up to be a year where digital investments will no longer be optional—they will be essential for staying competitive. As technology continues to redefine industrial operations, the focus is shifting from experimental implementations to full-scale digital transformation.
Enhancing Network Connectivity to China for Manufacturing
The manufacturing industry relies heavily on seamless and reliable global communication, especially when it comes to coordinating operations, supply chains, and production lines spread across different regions. For manufacturers with operations in China, establishing high-performance network connectivity is crucial for ensuring that everything runs smoothly. However, connecting branch offices and factories in China with headquarters or supply chain partners in Europe, the United States, or other regions presents several unique challenges.
