PLUG & PLAY COMMUNICATIONS

Efficient Scalable

Wouldn’t it be nice…

• Wouldn’t it be nice to seamlessly deploy applications across multiple Data Centers in an instant..?

Have you ever been frustrated by delays in activating new

applications and services..?

Have you ever experienced an outage due to human-error fault


• Wouldn’t it be nice to never again having to configure the Core of the network..?

Have you ever experienced an outage due to human-error fault during change..?

• Wouldn’t it be nice to remove entire layers of complexity and deliver real business-centric agility..?

Have you ever wondered why, with all of this complexity, that IT

still struggles to respond to the increased rate of change..?
