There are more analogies between the world of nature and networks than just branches, seeds or spine-leaf architectures. At the end of the day, the Total Cost of Ownership of your IT garden is all about balance, literally and figuratively. So what happens, when it starts to grow out of control? Here at Extreme we’re giving you some proper tools to tend to your IT environment!
Ideally, who wouldn’t love their network to grow organically, with as little manual labor as possible? Unfortunately, we all know that a healthy organizational ecosystem, just like a real garden, takes a bit of cultivation and requires balanced mix of elements. So what do you need, exactly?
- Sunshine in the form of regular upgrades to both hardware and software
- Weeding via ongoing maintenance
- Water rained down by technical support
- Pruning of your storage capacity and resources
- Soil fertilized by regular training
These components can quickly eat through your budget like a bunch of hungry pests. And yet, if all of them aren’t considered, your ROI will suffer and your network will quickly shrivel. The result? A literal plague of all sorts of nasty jitter and errors, including disconnections, latency, and packet loss, among others.
Luckily, Extreme Networks is giving you every modern tool you need to nurture your network while creating space in your budget, beginning with our dedicated TCO calculator.

Tell us about your organization: the number of branches and data centers you have and what are your bandwidth requirements and we will help you evaluate every network element’s direct and indirect costs, for the entire course of their lifespan.
You will know which branches of your network are thriving and which could use a good trim. What’s even better – we will show you your estimated annual savings from implementing the ExtremeCloud SD-WAN solution in a form of a neat, personalized report that you can share with your stakeholders!
Estimate your savings with the SD-WAN TCO Calculator!
Because of its ability to be centrally administered and upgraded, network computing enhances both cost efficiency and performance. This is particularly true of a Software-Defined Wide Area Network (SD-WAN) for the four following reasons:
- Integrating wired and wireless systems allows IT teams to reduce their operational complexity and simplify network management – less complication equals less cost.
- Application and routing policies are user-defined, meaning network traffic can be managed via centralized control, enhancing security and visibility.
- This level of control facilitates various types of network transport for flexible deployments.
- Its performance and agility enable users to connect to applications for a frustration-free experience easily.
