Half of Legacy Services Scheduled for Replacement

Legacy services (frame relay, leased line, and ATM) still are in use in over half of the U.S. organizations within four vertical segments (professional services, finance, insurance, healthcare, and government) surveyed recently by In-Stat researchers.

Over 50 percent of these current legacy services users are migrating, or plan to migrate, some or all of these services to other services, such as IP/MPLS and Ethernet, In-Stat says.
