VIAVI Introduces VPN Management Solution
Enterprises around the globe adopting remote work as the new normal, Viavi Solutions has introduced a suite of products to support the delivery of VPN services throughout the lifecycle, from validation, to pre-deployment testing, monitoring, assurance, and troubleshooting.

The VIAVI State of the Network Study of IT professionals found that VPN oversubscription was one of the top challenges of managing remote user traffic growth, with remote end-user experience being the highest the ranked requirement for operational visibility.
