BANDIT Product Info

THE SITUATION
Legacy enterprise network vendors are seeking cost-effective solutions to facilitate a smooth migration of legacy networks to IP-based applications.

THE CHALLENGE

►	Operators of legacy neworks want to reduce their operational costs while at the same time supporting incremental applications.

►	To keep up with emerging technologies, operators of legacy networks recognize that migration of existing hosts and remote controllers to IP-based applications is essential; however, they want to achieve this goal gracefully by minimizing complexity and keeping resource use low.

►	Operators of legacy networks want operations to flow faster and more efficiently. Improved methods for remote access, centralized monitoring, and management are features they seek to streamline their process.

►	Improved service reliability is a high priority. Networks require effective dial backup solution alternatives to ensure uninterrupted service delivery.
