Exinda Networks - Service Delivery Point

In order for organizations to make the most of the Exinda WAN optimization appliance, Exinda provides an optional global management interface for managing the Exinda appliance or multiple appliances distributed throughout the network. Exinda Service Delivery Point (SDP) provides network managers and IT staff with secure, password-protected access to this global management tool using only a standard Web browser and Internet connection.

The SDP global management interface provides full visibility into how applications are performing over the WAN via customized, user-friendly, graphical reports. whether hosted at the customer site or accessed via the Web using a hosted software as a service (SaaS) model, SDP equips network managers and IT staff with critical information such as network utilization, top applications and top URLs accessed. With this information, network managers can control policies to fully optimize the network regardless of the number of remote sites. The management interface also includes self-management capabilities for centrally installing, configuring, patching and monitoring Exinda appliances.

SDP puts all of Exinda’s advanced network visibility, control and optimization capabilities at the network administrator’s fingertips. It also offers significant cost savings by reducing network operating costs, simplifying common network control and optimization tasks and lowering total cost of ownership (TCO).

SDP makes it easy for administrators to run reports for individual Exinda appliances or aggregated reports for a global view of all appliances across the network.

Service Delivery Point: A Competitive Look

Eliminate the cost, risk and complexity of traditional Central Management Systems (CMS)

Exinda's lower cost of ownership philosophy while engineering Service Delivery Point (sdp.exinda.com) addresses the hidden costs, high failure rates, unacceptable risks and prolonged implementations of traditional CMS.

SDP saves up to 90 percent of traditional CMS by eliminating hidden costs

As an on-demand service, there is no software or hardware to buy, install, maintain or upgrade with SDP. This equates to a cost savings of as much as 90 percent compared to similar client/server solutions. See in the total cost of ownership (TCO) comparison chart below.

Reduce your risk and decrease your time to value

SDP minimizes the risk involved in implementing CMS by eliminating the need for up-front capital investment. Since all you need to start using SDP is a standard Web browser, your path to success is exceptionally short.

Our implementations typically take less than a week and rarely exceed a month, a short time when compared to three months or longer with client/server CMS software. As a result, you'll experience a quicker return on investment (ROI) with SDP in an average of three months rather than waiting six to12 months or longer for an ROI for client server CMS software.

Focus on your business, not on technology

CMS should solve your business problems, not create more headaches. With Exinda's SDP, you'll be free to focus on your core business, not worry about infrastructure requirements, maintenance and upgrades.

TCO Comparison Chart: SDP versus CMS software

While the table below gives total cost of ownership comparisons based on several common implementations, SDP's licenses are available in any increment you need - from one unit to 5,000 (or even more).

*For this example we used: 2x 100 Mbps units 2x 45 Mbps units 46x 2 Mbps units
**Costs for implementation and training may vary
