of media—including data, voice, and video—to enhance business communications and lower operating costs.  With so many different applications in contention for critical resources and bandwidth on the modern day WAN, it becomes a challenge, and an expense, to meet the needs of the more technology advanced organizations.

To solve these pressing challenges, organizations need their networks to contain intelligence and play an active role in securely integrating applications in a way that is easy to manage. Intelligent networks integrate many advanced applications into an adaptable, pervasive, and collaborative system. By integrating this intelligence into the WAN, organizations have the potential to make better use of existing bandwidth rather than simply acquire more and more bandwidth to meet the needs of the applications being utilized. By avoiding circuit upgrades, organizations are able to avoid the associated monthly recurring charges that extend for the life of the circuits. Circuit upgrades are a heavy hit to the annual budget year after year, and an expense that is no longer necessary in many cases when intelligence is incorporated into the WAN.

Confusing... you bet it can be.
