Expand Networks (www.expand.com) the leader in WAN optimization for branch office consolidation and virtualization, today announced an innovative pricing structure for service providers, telcos and public/private cloud providers, enabling them to procure its market leading WAN optimization solution on a monthly subscription based 'pay-as-you-sell' model.

Mirroring service providers own commercial offerings, the new pricing model shifts costs from CAPEX to OPEX and delivers profitable recurring revenue streams immediately. Jim Metzler, Analyst at Ashton, Metzler & Associates comments, "We often hear the phrase 'virtualization changes everything'.
