In the fast-paced world of network technology, staying current with the latest software releases is crucial for maintaining a competitive edge. However, upgrading software can often be a daunting task, fraught with risks and challenges. That's where Broadcom’s Designated Weekend Upgrade Program comes into play. This program is free of charge and offers an innovative approach to software upgrades that promises to revolutionize the way you update your DX NetOps landscape.

What are Upgrade Weekends?

Upgrade Weekends are designated timeframes that are dedicated solely to upgrading to the latest version of DX NetOps. These weekends are carefully chosen to coincide with low-traffic periods, ensuring minimal disruption to your day-to-day operations. With the Designated Weekend Upgrade Program, you can confidently embark on the journey of a major software upgrade, knowing that you have the full support and resources of your software vendor behind you.

Three benefits of Upgrade Weekends

Reduced risk. By consolidating the upgrade process into a fully staffed, designated weekend, you minimize the risk of unexpected disruptions to your operations. With thorough planning and support from Broadcom, you can navigate the upgrade process with confidence, knowing that your systems are in safe hands.
Increased success rates. Upgrade Weekends are strategically designed to optimize the success rate of your upgrades. With focused attention from support and development teams, as well as proactive check-ins throughout the weekend, you can ensure that your upgrades are completed efficiently and effectively.
Faster adoption of new features. One of the most exciting aspects of Upgrade Weekends is the opportunity to rapidly adopt new fixes, features, and capabilities offered by the latest software releases. By staying up to date with the latest versions, you can increase security and unlock new capabilities that fuel innovation and productivity within your organization.

How Upgrade Weekends work

The process of Upgrade Weekends typically begins weeks in advance of your planned upgrade. The process starts with a comprehensive review of your upgrade plans with a support SME. This allows for any necessary revisions or adjustments to be made, ensuring that the upgrade process is meticulously planned and executed. Once the plans are finalized, dedicated support and development teams are on hand throughout designated hours during the weekend to provide assistance and guidance as needed.
