SDP is available on demand as a hosted “Software as a
Service” and licensed by the number of appliances to be
managed or as an appliance hosted either at a company’s site
or a managed service provider’s (MSP) site. Exinda’s hosted
service further simplifies the WAN optimization process by
eliminating the need to buy, install, maintain and upgrade
management hardware and software. Since there is no capital
investment, SDP offers a 70 - 90 percent savings compared to
similar client/server solutions.
Exinda’s SDP outshines traditional centralized management
systems (CMS) by eliminating the cost, risk and complexity
of such implementations. SDP provides a quicker return on
investment as it can be deployed quickly, typically in one
week versus three months or more for a traditional CMS. SDP
provides full visibility into network usage at application
layer 7 while most CMS only focus on network layer 3.
Exinda also offers an alternative SDP appliance to be hosted
at a company’s site or MSP’s site. This option is ideal for
companies with a large number of networked sites and for
companies with security policy that does not allow for data
to be hosted externally. It is also well suited for MSP to
manage multiple customers and their various installations.

Exinda's lower cost of

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.
