Virtual Appliance Strategies and Solutions

Value Proposition 1: Allow Service Providers to Grow Capacity On-demand without Deploying HardwareCapacity On-demand without Deploying Hardware
“Easy Procurement and Elastic Response -Instead of overpaying for capacity they don’t need, NetScaler customers can now buy 90-day Burst Pack licenses and apply them when sudden traffic surges threaten application performance and availability.
Compelling Economics and Better Capacity Planning - Burst Pack licenses make it economical to instantly increase datacenter capacity, giving datacenter managers much needed time to plan for g ppermanent capacity upgrades.
Broad NetScaler Support - Burst Pack licenses can be applied to both NetScaler VPX virtual appliances and NetScaler MPX hardwareappliances and NetScaler MPX hardware appliances.”NetScaler virtual appliances (VPX 10,
200, 1000) – grow capacity from 10 Mbps to 1000 Mbps with a license p pupgrade vs device upgrade
Note: The companies mentioned illustrate the trend but may not be Flexera Software customers
Value Proposition 2: Consolidate Hardware Functions to Reduce Space Energy and Admin CostsReduce Space, Energy and Admin Costs
Value Proposition 3: Upsell/cross-sell Capabilities Over p p pTime without Deploying Hardware
Multi-function device: Riverbed SteelheadMulti function device: Riverbed Steelhead
R l 5 h i l i h• Replace up to 5 physical servers with virtual machines on RSP
• Runs on most Steelhead appliance models
• Run almost any VMware virtual machine

High-Tech Mfr Business Challenges and Strategies
Device manufacturers face eroding margins on hardware products
Push hardware costs to end customers by making device capabilities available as pure software
CHALLENGES STRATEGIES
pure software
Enable up- and cross-sell revenues by delivering capabilities as software add-ons
Service providers need to provision capacity to meet peak demand which leads to
Allow service providers to dial up/dial down capacity on-demand without

Service providers and branch office locations need to reduce power consumption, space and administrative costs
Consolidate many capabilities into one device
