The proactive use of the Mu-4000 analyzer appliance increases financial benefits underlying your unique ROI analysis and optimizes your Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) by minimizing downtime and customer churn. The accompanying NSP Partner whitepaper and Internet Telephony Webcast also includes 4 service provider, cable operator and vendor supplier case studies.

Consistent in the study findings are these three (3) facts:

  • Network outages in service provider, critical infrastructure, and enterprise networks result in high costs: The Mu-4000 improves service availability through robustness analysis of network elements.
  • Finding and fixing bugs as early as possible in both Enterprise and product vendor development lifecycles is significantly less expensive than in a production network.
  • The Mu-4000 helps both service providers and network equipment manufacturers find robustness weaknesses, vulnerabilities and response time problems before products and services are deployed in production.
