Expert Guidance and Solutions
Operators currently find themselves in a ‘catch-22’ situation: to overcome the ever-growing bandwidth demand, their infrastructure must grow. This may require a greater number of servers, switches and storage capabilities. As more components are added, the connections between buildings, customers and providers increases – both in quantity and data rates. These connections require quick interconnections in order to function effectively.
Building an entirely new network each time is neither efficient nor effective. Instead, the smarter solution is to future-proof your network from the start, anticipating greater capacity before it's needed. For these ‘future-ready’ networks, AddOn Networks provides expert guidance and solutions that enhance sustainability without compromising on performance.
With AddOn Networks, customers can deploy faster interconnects between the key elements of their data center, offering a comprehensive catalogue of legacy and cutting-edge optics tailored to suit specific requirements. Site-to-site links can be bolstered to provide greater scalability, enhancing existing infrastructure and data layers through seamless network upgrades. This allows operators to meet both current and future bandwidth demands.
Our products liberate customers from being tied to a single Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM), leading to greater longevity of operations. Our optics have been designed to offer high-speed interconnections for a range of services, simplifying the transition to 100G and 400G a simple process. As a result, network builders can focus on future demand, not just the present.
Making the Right Decisions
At the same time, reliability is non-negotiable. Servers and computer systems must operate uninterrupted to meet the insatiable demand for high bandwidth. 55% of operators have experienced at least one outage on their sites in the past three years, and they remain the single biggest cause of downtimes.
Without reliability, speed and scalability are meaningless. Downtime can take a significant toll on your business, with the average cost of downtime currently $5,600 per minute, and this will only accumulate further during a prolonged outage. To mitigate these issues, AddOn Networks combines an extensive testing process with a trusted technical support center and a consistent roll-out of dynamic technologies. This reduces the likelihood of an outage, with experts available to address any issues if they occur.
Reliability is at the core of AddOn’s mission, and we remain committed to setting the benchmark within the industry. AddOn is certified in high quality standards, such as ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015, and NEBS Level 3, ensuring our partners benefit from trustworthy, high-performance products. Subsequently, customers can enjoy a long-term relationship with the support they need for their data centers to thrive.
Performance Without the Premium Pricing
Data centers also need to make sound operational decisions when it comes to future-proofing. Purchasing sub-standard equipment may cut initial expenses but may lead to costly repair and maintenance costs down the line. Decisions must prioritize performance, sustainability, and profitability in mind.
AddOn Networks offers high-quality components at a fraction of OEM prices to give you the performance and reliability you need while remaining sustainable. Compatible optics are key to improving capital expenditures (CAPEX) and operational expenditures (OPEX) while allowing for future growth. In today’s competitive multi-OEM environment, breaking barriers and avoiding ‘lock-in’ is crucial. Sourcing transceivers, DACs, and AOCs that are interoperable can allow operators to deploy compatible components without the OEM markup. Third-party components can be just as effective, more cost-efficient and can seamlessly work with hardware from other manufacturers.
Through a holistic approach to sustainability, operators can overcome the pressing concerns of growth, reliability and cost. Our distributors and resellers are experiencing the benefits from affordable and scalable solutions that increase profits, customer satisfaction, and operational success. Through our forward-thinking, compatible optics, operators can benefit from increased bandwidth, streamlined infrastructure, and best-in-class assets to overcome the data center dilemma and enable future growth.
