Leverage the Benefits of a Virtual Cloud Network

Slash CapEx and OpEx

Reap the benefits of a modern network virtualization strategy for data center networking and SD-WAN.

Analysts at Forrester found that the average organization saved millions not only in initial CapEx for a comparable hardware-based system, but also in additional hardware costs in the years to follow. On the OpEx side, a typical enterprise was able to retire 37% of its existing servers — avoiding more than $1M in ongoing maintenance costs.
