Case Study: Dell achieves network cost savings and productivity gains with Versa Networks

Dell - Customer Case Study

Dell commissioned a Forrester Total Economic Impact study to evaluate Dell Virtual Edge Platform (VEP) for enterprises struggling with outdated network infrastructure, limited visibility, frequent outages, and supply-chain delays across global branch and remote locations. The customer journey centered on the need to replace legacy routers, switches, and mixed-vendor appliances with a more secure, scalable SD-WAN-ready solution that could be delivered reliably worldwide.

Versa Networks’ software running on Dell VEP helped deliver centralized SD-WAN management, preconfigured devices, and faster global deployment, reducing IT effort and improving network performance. The study found measurable three-year benefits of $1.53 million versus $663,000 in costs, for an NPV of $864,000, 130% ROI, and a 9-month payback, including $872,000 in MPLS savings and $276,000 in saved IT resource time.
