Using traditional methods, staggered wired and wireless network infrastructure upgrades lead to inconsistent user experiences, present a massive burden on your IT budget, and consume precious time and resources. With Nile, you gain access to a network infrastructure that is rapidly designed and deployed for you and automatically maintains itself with an all-inclusive lifecycle management service—one that comes with guaranteed outcomes.
Too many refresh projects, too little time
IT leaders continually face the challenge of new infrastructure deployments and refresh cycles with increasingly tight deadlines. Due to CAPEX budgetary and time constraints, organizations often opt for a modular approach to upgrading networks, upgrading portions of a network today and other parts in the coming years. However, this approach perpetuates an endless cycle of refresh projects, depriving end users of fully capitalizing on the advantages of a modern network.
Regardless of your current stage in the wired and wireless network lifecycle journey, opting for a comprehensive, continuously updated network service is highly desirable. Not only does it help to mitigate the complexities of managing disparate network components, but it also removes the headaches associated with end-of-service and security compliance issues. Examples of lost productivity and feature gaps due to the inherent shortcomings of traditional staged refreshes include:
- Wasteful duplication of project management and implementation efforts
- Complicated license/support contract management across multiple product lines
- Inconsistencies in network performance
- Time-consuming troubleshooting burdens
- Decreased scalability options
- Avoidable security and compliance risks
An alternative approach
Rather than persisting with the prioritization of network refreshes solely based on new features and CAPEX expenditures, which often lead to staggered upgrades for wired and wireless infrastructure, consider embracing a comprehensive service-oriented approach. This strategy provides comprehensive as-a-service benefits as soon as they’re deployed. While some might view a full stack upgrade as nothing more than additional management overhead compared to a traditional staggered approach, it actually reduces much of the engineering and deployment workload, easing the burden on in-house IT departments. With this approach, you achieve:
- The ability to shift high up-front hardware CAPEX to predictable OPEX expenditure
- Unified scalability and flexibility for streamlined growth
- Predictable performance across wired and wireless
- Significant operational time savings
- Fewer security challenges
The Nile Advantage
Nile provides flexibility in deploying an all-encompassing wired and wireless network stack, guaranteeing your network infrastructure’s ongoing adaptability and management simplicity. No matter where you are in your wired and wireless network lifecycle journey, we work with you to reach a full stack wired and wireless network state, even if that includes buybacks of network equipment that is still on the books or a phased approach to achieving full stack deployment success.
The Nile Access Service includes real-time monitoring along with performance SLAs to guarantee that your network consistently supports your organizational requirements. If a key business initiative calls for an upgrade or expansion to your current wired and wireless hardware, we’ll manage the deployment of this new technology smoothly and cost-effectively.
It’s important to note that Nile’s service-oriented approach to networking has been carefully developed from the ground up. This is unlike other incumbent vendors who are just starting to integrate as-a-service strategies into their existing portfolios. With our radically different and carefully designed closed-loop architecture, organizations can experience seamless wired and wireless access, as well as intelligent insights and automation. This significantly reduces operational burdens, allowing IT resources to be redirected toward more crucial tasks. Our unique benefits include:
- Achieve a fully inclusive refresh at once, with the flexibility to opt for a phased deployment of wired and wireless infrastructure that better aligns with existing refresh and depreciation schedules
- Predictable OPEX service spend with lower up-front costs resulting in decreased lifecycle TCO
- Eliminate operational and scalability challenges
- Remove time-consuming and error-prone network design and deployment tasks from the project manager’s to-do list
- Guaranteed availability, coverage, and capacity
- Real-time, cloud-based observability, fault detection, and continuous optimization
- Comprehensive zero trust security measures across the entire network for improved compliance
- Gain additional value through robust add-on network services (such as Nile DHCP Service and Nile Guest Service) to reduceoperational tasks, enhance scalability, and further mitigate security risks
IT leaders are searching for a solution to escape the challenges of continuous infrastructure upgrade projects, including the network. Not only are they expensive and time-intensive, but they require vigilant oversight from skilled networking personnel. At Nile, we present an alternative to the traditional network refresh approach that lets you reimagine new possibilities. Consider what you could do with the time and cost savings given back. With Nile, this vision becomes a reality — today. To get started, contact your local Nile sales team or click here to get in touch.
