You may have some memory of car glove compartments stuffed with paper maps, or of the seemingly life-changing ability to look up and print out custom MapQuest directions to a new destination. Fast forward a decade, and you can choose from a variety of navigation systems run on GPS and fed with construction, event and traffic data with crowdsourced updates in real time. Self-driving cars are an emerging reality, paring the human interaction requirement down to providing a destination. The hope is that, with ever-increasing degrees of automation, we’ll see a major reduction in rush-hour gridlock, accidents, emergency response delays and other commuter nightmares. We have to keep moving forward with smart cities, smart traffic lights and more if we hope to sustain mobility and livability as urban areas grow.
The same trajectory applies to managing network traffic. While most companies are well beyond relying on manual methods for routine network system administration, network managers are poised to take advantage of a new automation imperative.
