Next Generation Network Edge Demands Greater
Resiliency

• Network, remote worker, and data center edges
  blurring
• Higher resiliency required at the edge
• Network edge switches now part of the voice
  infrastructure
• Down time is now phone down as well
• Core-like resiliency is needed to ensure carrier
  class reliability
• Security and mobility pressures
• Build capacity by paying as you go
• Fixed configuration provides greater flexibility
  at lower cost for building network edge on as
  needed basis
• High density, small form factor with 10 GbE
  uplinks
