1. SDN & NFV
Driving Additional Value into Managed Services

2. What’s The True Value
of Managed Services?

3. Managed services leave time-consuming
tasks like systems management, data
backup and storage, and network security
to service providers.

4. Managed services leave time-consuming
tasks like systems management, data
backup and storage, and network security
to service providers.
This allows businesses to scale down their
IT teams and use them towards more
strategic and progressive initiatives that can
generate revenue.
