Highlights
- Quvia is rolling out new cost intelligence with total cost and cost per GB by link, alongside network performance and Quality of Experience (QoE).
- Customers can see usage and costs across the business, compare and model pricing changes against historical usage.
- Quvia brings commercial terms, cost parameters and usage thresholds into orchestration alongside application needs, capacity, network conditions and QoE.
Effectively managing connectivity costs starts with understanding how the network is being used, what it costs and what it delivers.
Applications have different performance requirements, while capacity and network conditions change. Connectivity can span multiple providers, access technologies, service plans and pricing models. Customers need visibility across those variables to understand the economics and make informed decisions about how connectivity is used.
Quvia is rolling out new cost intelligence that gives customers detailed visibility into connectivity usage, cost, network performance and QoE. The same network intelligence powers orchestration, allowing customer-defined business and commercial priorities to shape network decisions as conditions change.
See cost and performance together
Because Quvia understands how traffic is moving across the network, it can turn that activity into detailed cost intelligence.
Quvia combines customer-provided rates with measured traffic to calculate total cost and cost per GB by link. Customers can view that data alongside usage, network performance and QoE across their connectivity environment. That gives them a clearer view of the unit economics of connectivity: what each link costs, how it is being used and what it delivers.
Historical data adds another dimension. Teams can track how cost, usage and performance change over time and apply different rates to past traffic to model the impact of pricing or contract changes.
Together, this gives network, finance and procurement teams a shared basis for capacity planning, budgeting and commercial decisions. For organizations that track connectivity costs by business unit, department, location or cost center, Quvia can break down usage across those parts of the business, helping teams see how usage maps to spend. It also supports more informed conversations with providers by putting commercial terms, usage and network performance in the same view.
Manage cost as part of the network decision
That same network and commercial intelligence can also shape how the network operates in real time. Quvia continuously balances cost, capacity and performance around the customer’s priorities, with QoE as the North Star. That can mean favoring lower-cost links when they can deliver the required experience, while using higher-cost or metered capacity when needed to protect QoE for higher-priority traffic.
A real-time application may be sensitive to latency or congestion, while a software update or large data transfer may have more flexibility. Different connections may also operate under different commercial models, with varying rates, allowances and usage thresholds.
Quvia’s decision engine evaluates those variables together, making orchestration decisions every 50 milliseconds as application needs and network conditions change.
The same approach applies across different service plans and commercial models, including consumption-based services. Quvia uses historical usage and predictive intelligence to forecast demand and incorporate flexible consumption thresholds into orchestration. It can manage usage across different commercial plans while accounting for application priority, capacity and QoE.
This gives customers more control over connectivity spend, helping them use existing capacity efficiently, manage consumption against their commercial plans and make better-informed decisions about when and where additional capacity is worth the cost.
Turn cost intelligence into better decisions
Customers can use cost, performance and QoE data to adjust capacity plans, evaluate commercial options or change the priorities Quvia uses in future network decisions. Quvia uses those priorities, together with network and commercial intelligence, to orchestrate connectivity.
The result is a continuous model for managing connectivity cost: network behavior produces cost and performance intelligence, that intelligence informs customer decisions and customer priorities feed back into how the network operates.
As customers use more providers, access technologies and commercial models, that level of coordination becomes increasingly important. Quvia is a vendor-neutral platform that gives customers the flexibility to choose the connectivity that fits their business and manage those resources together.
Quvia helps customers understand their connectivity costs, what their connectivity delivers and how to manage it around business priorities.
