In this Networking Field Day #NFD36 article, Sulagna Saha discusses Meter ’s innovative approach to upgrading customer infrastructure through its buyback program, allowing customers to trade in old hardware for credit towards new subscriptions. Meter gains valuable insights by dismantling legacy equipment, improving their own design and configuration process. Additionally, Meter offers a managed ISP procurement service and a vertically integrated solution, which ensures better quality, cost efficiency, and streamlined operations for enterprises.

Meter provides internet infrastructure for the enterprise. In the Meter Networking Field Day 36 ( #NFD36 ) session, Meter Co-founders Anil Varanasi , CEO and Sunil Varanasi , CTO explained the “why” behind Meter and what makes Meter different. NFD36: Meter Ready to Transform Internet Infrastructure for IT Pros Analyst Take: Meter focuses on liberating IT professionals from the mundane operational burdens of infrastructure management, empowering them to prioritize strategic, high-impact initiatives that can improve their business outcomes. By offering a comprehensive, end-to-end solution, Meter can handle the full spectrum of internet infrastructure needs consisting of: - Complete hardware procurement - Software ecosystem management - Implementing deployment processes - Ongoing infrastructure scaling and maintenance The outcome? IT teams can shift from firefighting technical complexities to becoming true strategic partners, focusing on initiatives that directly contribute to organizational growth and technological advancement. Key benefits include: - Eliminating infrastructure management overhead - Reducing operational complexity - Enabling IT professionals to pursue high-value strategic work - Providing a holistic, turnkey infrastructure solution. Overall, I believe that Meter has built an innovative approach that emphasizes unshackling IT professionals from the uncertainties of installing and maintaining Internet infrastructure to concentrate on more strategic and impactful responsibilities. This is similar to how developers no longer need to manage their own physical server infrastructure in the hybrid cloud era. Furthermore, Meter is demonstrating how a company’s Internet infrastructure should function as an integrated and optimized system, rather than a disjointed collection of complex, disconnected components.
