Why Change?Why Change?

The Case for ChangeThe Case for Change• Historically…

– Separate networks built for each service offering

– Services and networks that address single applications well but do not individually address a broad range of customer needs

– Individually highly scalable, robust and stable network platforms

• Forcing Agencies to…– Invest time, money and resources into different

platforms

– Purchase disparate networks based on service need

– Perform network integration and their own access aggregation

– Split applications based on networking capabilities

– Prioritize investments across applications
