Aging network systems and old habits have dictated how businesses spend their IT budgets. As a result, a large percentage, if not a majority, of IT dollars are being spent to merely “stay in the race” and keep pace with the competition. While this model keeps revenue streams flowing for legacy network vendors, it doesn’t necessarily help businesses gain a competitive advantage by “winning the race” or “changing the rules.”

This white paper proposes to change that economic model by focusing on a new family of solutions that reduce capital and operational expenses, freeing up IT budget dollars and allowing businesses to invest in innovative technologies that will reduce the cost of doing business while improving the bottom line.
