Real-time applications such as voice, video, and collaboration, are increasingly taking up a larger share of network bandwidth by corporations and consumers alike.
According to Wainhouse Research, 40-75% of audio calls in enterprise are conferencing calls… and it’s growing!
75% of users communicate at work, with 3 or more devices, and 75% of IT decision makers have multiple PBX vendors in production...while 33% have 2 or more UC platforms.
The software-as-a-service market size is poised to expand! The growth is due to organizations of all sizes becoming comfortable with cloud software to add to, or at the expense of, on-premise solutions.
The SaaS market is poised to surpass $112.8 billion by 2019, according to IDC research.
And the overall market will reach $164.29 billion by 2022, according to Transparency Market Research.
With the real-time nature of VoIP, video conferencing and cloud applications, it has become even more critical for organization’s network structure to deliver low and consistent latencies.
Currently, MPLS and Public Internet have been the "go-to solutions" for enterprises and remote users to stabilize their communications. But… these solutions come with their own set of challenges...
For example, MPLS struggles with extremely long deployment timelines ...ranging from 60 to 120 days!
This can impede on the business’ expansion initiatives. In addition, MPLS offers limited connection to cloud applications, requires high IT expertise, AND...it is very expensive to implement and maintain.
With the public Internet, remote users can expect
