Calculating Return on Investment for SD-WAN

April 12, 2018

There are many ways to measure the financial return period of deploying SD-WAN. Many organizations justify their business case and cost by estimating return on investment (ROI), or the time it takes before the savings exceed the cost of deploying the SD-WAN solution. Traditional wide-area networking (WAN) bandwidth, maintenance, management and support represent a significant portion of an organization’s IT budget. With the right offering, transitioning from a traditional WAN to an SDWAN can provide significant price/performance advantages, without sacrificing reliability or application Quality of Experience (QoE).

Reaping the Benefits of Disaggregated Optical Networks

whitePaper | June 21, 2021

The disaggregation of optical networks will bring numerous benefits to service providers including enabling best-in-class innovation for each network element or sub-system; freedom from vendor lock-in enabling solution flexibility and price competition; and staggered network evolution. For example, a faster cycle for transmission subsystems with a longer life for optical line systems. Most service providers are pursuing one of two approaches to building disaggregated optical networks. The Partially Disaggregated and the Fully Disaggregated approach. This paper explains the benefits of both and how service providers can reap the rewards of disaggregated networks regardless of which approach they choose.

Game-Changing Business Model: Private LTE for AMI and Smart Utility Programs

whitePaper | December 1, 2019

The landscape of telecommunications options available to support utilities’ Operational Technology (OT) solutions is rapidly evolving - at a pace compared only by the changing needs of the OT requirements themselves. As utilities replace first generation Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) solutions with current more feature-rich systems and expand the reach of traditional Distribution Automation (DA), Field Mobility (FM) and other existing solutions; new options are required for device connectivity and backhaul. The potential explosion of ubiquitous Internet of Things (IoT) devices will further change the utilities’ needs.

Enterprise Wired & Wireless Network Security by Nile

whitePaper | December 12, 2022

Historically, enterprise network security has been defined by a series of painful tradeoffs. Simply put, flat networks were easy to manage but gave attackers free reign to spread and cause damage once inside the network. On the other hand, the more secure and tightly controlled architectures defined by Zero Trust exponentially increased the cost, complexity, and effort required from staff. Ultimately, this forced organizations into uneasy compromises that were expensive, left technical teams overworked, and fell well short of the ideals of Zero Trust.
