Real integrations and outcomes: lower cost, less risk, better investment decisions.
Network refreshes are among the largest drivers of hardware spend, and most are sized against vendor-recommended replacements rather than a modelled set of strategies. In the modelled payments company scenario, building the EoL strategies first supported a 32 percent CAPEX reduction across the refresh.
Once the data centre is built and the campus network is deployed, the real question is what it costs to operate and maintain over the next five years. In the modelled UK bank scenario, TCO modelling on a four million dollar refresh surfaced a 52 to 58 percent OPEX reduction over five years, approximately one million dollars in savings.
