A robust network fabric couples logical and physical network solutions from design to installation. Improper or inadequate planning can lead to ‘network sprawl’—network architectures that grow out of control as a result of adding devices and connections haphazardly—limiting the ability to manage or diagnose issues when trouble arises Successful deployment depends on a robust physical infrastructure network design that addresses environmental, performance, and security challenges with best practices from Operational Technology (OT) and Information Technology (IT).
