Product Overview
Whether your organization competes
in today’s highly competitive and
dynamic market or provides high value
public services, there is tremendous
pressure on your IT staff to continuously
adapt and scale your network so that
it realigns and evolves with business
initiatives. To accomplish this, staff
members must maintain their
expertise in a constantly growing list of
technologies and vendor products. The
ability to keep abreast of these rapidly
evolving technologies while attempting

and resource-intensive network
adaptation can strain internal resources,
cause costly network downtime, and
