THE
SITUATION
International carriers and global enterprise
customers are looking for solutions to help them migrate
from expensive private lines and legacy networks to secure
broadband IP networks. |
|

THE
CHALLENGE |
| ► |
Global
enterprise customers want to implement
cost-effective methods for reducing
Information Technology (IT) capital
and operating expenditures. They hope
to do this by leveraging the global
IP infrastructure to provide secure
connectivity to remote locations world-wide. |
| |
|
| ► |
International
carriers require a cost-effective, secure
IP solution that is easy to deploy and
manage. |
| |
|
| ► |
Global
enterprise customers want to maintain
a high level of Virtual Private Network
(VPN) service reliability and availability
that provides 24 x 7 protection for
their IT and intranet assets. |
| |
|
| ► |
Enterprise
IT operators need reliable tools to
remotely control user access and to
manage limited bandwidth. |
| |
|
| ► |
Both
international carriers and global enterprise
customers want to simplify VPN network
roll-out by reducing the number of deployed
network elements, without compromising
the quality of operation and service. |
