Legacy technologies will reach end of life in the coming 2-3 years. As traffic migrates away from the legacy network, Tempest provides a methodical, cost savings plan to reduce footprint, power consumption and reduce underutilized equipment.
Challenges
Carrier needs
Free up valuable breaker panel power positions to avoid costly plant upgrades
Reduce power consumption to save on monthly utility bills/operating expense
Reduce the footprint of legacy equipment to free up space for next generation hardware
Avoid costly capital or lease expansion projects at existing sites for edge computing hardware additions
Reclaim under utilized hardware for spares, repair costs offset
Solutions
Quality
Feasibility study for compression/collapse
Footprint reduction analysis
Power panel and consumption reduction analysis
Network element consolidation/implementation
Traffic migration and rehome/implementation
Network element shutdown
Hardware removal and cable mining
Results
Example Savings from Compression/Collapse Analysis
Freed up nearly 400 amps to allow new equipment deployment without costly power plant upgrade
Removed up to 20 frames worth of floor space to avoid lease expansion
