Some secrets are worth keeping, but we’re here to spill the beans on reliable, secure network connectivity for fixed retail locations. Overall, the retail industry has some of the most advanced data centers and hybrid cloud networks within today’s IT landscape. But the corporate center is not where the majority of business operations take place as many retail transactions occur at the outer edge. Some of these edge locations are more remote than others, yet they still rely on the same level of network connectivity. Overall, retail edge locations face unique connectivity challenges that urban, metro, and suburban locations simply do not. These challenges include:

- A lack of traditional network connectivity options
- Limited IT support in the area
- Higher rates of IT literacy amongst staff
- Disaster recovery and business connectivity

Do you trust your network? Performance may be in an [optimal place,](https://blog.wei.com/your-roadmap-to-enhanced-remote-workforce-solutions) and workplace operations are thankful for that. But what about security? ‘Zero Trust’ is a practice every IT leader and decision maker should be educated on as more and more organizations have realized that all attacks don’t originate from the other side of the firewall. Attacks can be launched from anywhere, including within the network itself. [Network administrators](https://blog.wei.com/cloud-managed-networking-made-easy-with-aruba-central) must always operate under the assumption that their network has already been breached. And sadly, for some reading this article, that may be the case.

Delivering a personalized and efficient shopping experience to customers is crucial in today's competitive retail landscape. Whether customers are shopping online or offline, achieving this goal requires retail organizations to take [experience-first networking](https://www.juniper.net/us/en/the-feed/topics/security/networking-for-the-experience-first-era.html) strategies. To successfully create this in a hybrid cloud era, retailers must meet these four key requirements: 

- Setting up a heightened Wi-Fi connection for employees
- Optimizing [location-based](https://blog.wei.com/5-ways-location-based-networking-improves-the-college-experience) services
- Establishing a reliable network infrastructure
- Forming a unified data and connection security between retailers and customers

It’s been a wild ride the past three years, and our team has learned an awful lot about the transformative power of digital technology and the exploitable vulnerability that it introduces. Here are some examples:

- Password authentication is no longer secure.
- Enterprise users and the devices they work on are under siege by threat actors.
- Bolt-on security is no longer a viable approach to securing our digital devices.
- Internal IT must also focus on innovative solutions, not updates and password resets.

Back in 2016, Georgia State University decided to address the annual phenomenon known as “summer melt” in which a sizable number of students enrolled during the summer session would fail to enroll in the fall. The school implemented a chatbot project called [Pounce](https://hbr.org/2018/01/how-georgia-state-university-used-an-algorithm-to-help-students-navigate-the-road-to-college)that wasdesigned to regularly connect with incoming students. This practice, commonly referred to as nudge technology by [Gartner,](https://www.gartner.com/en?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=GTR_NA_2022_GTR_CPC_SEM1_BRANDCAMPAIGNCORE&utm_adgroup=137260808579&utm_term=gartner&ad=603410086008&matchtype=e&gclid=CjwKCAiAxvGfBhB-EiwAMPakqjLjlfJi22R4ric7maN2DvrNfanzjk4je51Ofmi-kQnsgnIkE8MpgxoCOL0QAvD_BwE) reminds students of upcoming meetings and deadlines. Additionally, and in the interest of this blog article, nudge technology also uses AI to answer frequently asked questions that incoming students often have.

Today's virtual machine (VM) administrators are tasked with an immense challenge. They must have a wide range of experience to manage their complex VM system and support both traditional and modern applications. Additionally, they must work continuously to reduce VM sprawl. These tasks become exponentially more complicated when you factor in financial concerns. Fortunately, HPE has a solution: dHCI and GreenLake.

For most businesses, strategizing for 2023 began well before the ball dropped for the New Year. This period of assessment always includes a thorough review of company budget, and identifying sensible investments for the year ahead. Whether you lead a medium-sized business or proudly serve a Fortune 500 enterprise, the number one goal is maximizing profit while minimizing costs.
