Network Migration
Modernize and standardize networks without fear
Keeping your network current while maintaining application performance is hard. If it was easier, most companies would avoid vendor lock-in, eliminate security and compliance issues, and improve their competitive abilities. Verity was designed to help network operators perform upgrades from legacy and End-of-Life platforms with zero application downtime.

Move your network forward and reuse assets
Businesses are typically reluctant to replace End-of-Life (EOL) network equipment, even when the vendor is no longer in business. This presents several extreme business continuity risks:
- Network Disruption
- Performance Degradation
- Compliance Risks
- Limited Scalability
Vendor Migration
Diversify and leverage open source to prevent lock-in
