Validated choice
Dell is adding substantial value to the VEP4600, with a concept we call Validated Choice. Choice is value added by formally partnering with leading SD-WAN leading vendors: Versa and Adva. Validation is value-added with our joint testing or orderable SKUs directly from Dell Technologies. Moreover, validation is not just product validation but also supply chain validation. Customers will be able to take advantage of the Dell Technologies global supply chain. Validation accelerates time to revenue, and reduces deployment risks.
