New Branch IT Opportunities: Enhanced Performance & Reduced Costs
Download as PPTX, PDF3 likes1,501 views
The document discusses new opportunities for branch IT through enhanced performance and reduced costs. It describes the evolution of distributed IT and core constraints like cost control and security that branch IT operations aim to address. Key strategies for 2015 include improving management through analytics, simplifying and reducing WAN costs, increasing WLAN performance while lowering costs, and shifting to an operational expenditure model through cloud services. The presentation examines requirements for WLANs and management systems and explores how consolidated branch architectures combining wired, wireless and WAN functions in one device can significantly reduce total cost of ownership.

- 15. Summary and Conclusions Today’s branch must be designed for: Simplified configuration, deployment, and ongoing operations – without sacrificing flexibility - consolidation of functionality Minimized total cost of ownership, with respect to both CapEx and OpEx The key to lower CapEx is in consolidated functionality Less to buy, less to integrate, less to maintain The key to lower OpEx is comprehensive, centralized management – and leveraging cloud services! Solutions meeting all of these requirements are available today!

Aruba’s cloud services solution now gives us a huge advantage at our various facilities” “With Aruba, the time, cost and complexity of buying and maintaining multiple branch office appliances are a thing of the past.” “Other vendors could not come close to the all-in-one capabilities. We save at least 12 IT hours a month.”
