Lower network TCO
The costs for an embedded management service are substantially lower than those for an overlay solution. There are no hardware, software or integration costs, nor maintenance fees to pay. The service can be offered for a low monthly rate, thereby allowing the enterprise to redirect its capital while also reducing its operating costs.
A service-embedded approach is rich in benefits for the enterprise. Advanced provider-edge routers allow service providers to mirror and store critical network traffic statistics for immediate analysis, viewing and reporting. The results are improved application and WAN performance and a lower total cost of network ownership.
