Modern enterprises are no longer satisfied with simply having more bandwidth. The explosion of AI-driven applications—from real-time analytics to large-scale models—has fundamentally changed what businesses expect from their connectivity. For example, a recent report found that 42 % of organisations are using high-performance networking (dedicated high-bandwidth links and low-latency fabrics) to optimise AI deliveries.
In this context, connectivity has become more than a service—it’s now a strategic asset. Organisations increasingly ask their ISPs not only for speed and uptime but for networks that understand, adapt, and support AI workflows. The result is a growing demand for lower latency, smarter routing, better visibility, and built-in security at every layer of the managed network.
While AI promises transformative business value, it also brings new stresses for enterprise connectivity. Here are key challenges that businesses face today:
a) Traffic explosion and bandwidth intensity.
AI workloads drive heavy data movement—both training and inference—creating new loads on networks. Analysts expect AI to become a dominant share of overall traffic in the coming years.
b) Latency and real-time processing constraints.
For many AI use cases—edge devices, predictive analytics, or live video workflows—connectivity must deliver consistent low latency and minimal jitter. Networks not optimised for such workloads can easily become bottlenecks.
c) Visibility, orchestration, and security demands.
AI-driven operations make connectivity more dynamic: traffic paths must change, priorities must shift, and anomalies must be detected in real time. Security threats are also evolving with AI, so the managed network must embed advanced protection and monitoring capabilities.
d) Scaling, complexity, and cost pressures.
As enterprises expand AI initiatives, they need a scalable and flexible connectivity infrastructure that grows seamlessly across sites and geographies without ballooning costs or performance dips.
In short, enterprises are now asking ISPs for solutions that go far beyond “just more bandwidth.” They want intelligent, adaptive, and secure connectivity that can sustain AI-driven transformation.
To meet these growing expectations, ISPs and managed service providers must evolve their offerings. Here’s how:
Intelligent traffic management and path optimisation.
The managed network must support dynamic routing, application-aware prioritisation, latency monitoring, and real-time adjustments. AI-aware traffic handling will be the new differentiator.
Proactive monitoring and analytics.
Networks must deliver predictive insights, self-healing links, and capacity forecasting so enterprises can rely on connectivity as a strategic enabler rather than a risk.
End-to-end security architecture.
With AI workloads becoming mission-critical, the managed network must integrate encryption, segmentation, zero-trust policies, and threat analytics—all built into the connectivity fabric.
Scalable and flexible infrastructure.
Modern connectivity must span branch offices, remote sites, edge locations, and central hubs—all with consistent performance. Modular, flexible designs will allow scaling without disruption.
Partnership-oriented service delivery.
Enterprises now expect their ISP to act as a strategic partner, not just a provider. This means transparent dashboards, lifecycle management, and alignment with AI goals.
Through these capabilities, the managed network transitions from being a cost centre to becoming a core enabler of intelligence, agility, and growth.
When enterprises deploy AI at scale—whether in manufacturing, logistics, healthcare, or financial services—the managed network becomes the silent enabler of success. A well-designed infrastructure allows:
In essence, the managed network is no longer peripheral—it’s central to an organisation’s ability to derive intelligence and speed from AI initiatives.
