Immediately accelerates a service provider’s
ability to offer cloud applications that build better business
networks
ADTRAN®, Inc., (NASDAQ:ADTN), a leading provider of
next-generation open networking and subscriber experience software,
today announced its new SD-WAN solution designed to help
small-to-medium businesses and distributed enterprises take
advantage of cloud-based networking while keeping existing voice
and security solutions in place to make the transition easier,
faster and more affordable.
“The benefits of SD-WAN are now available to more than just the
large enterprise. With this move toward mainstream within the
distributed enterprise and the SMB market, service providers now
have lower costs, quicker installations and will lessen the real
business impacts of the migration to SD-WAN,” IDC Carrier Network
Infrastructure Research Director Rajesh Ghai said. “This market
presents a compelling business opportunity for service providers
that hasn’t been fully addressed yet but needs to be as more
companies look for SD-WAN solutions to move their companies
forward.”
The ADTRAN SD-WAN platform provides both outbound and inbound
quality of service (QoS), seamless connectivity and control of
cloud applications and voice services. The solution automatically
detects business critical and performance-sensitive traffic without
having to manually set up policies as with first-generation SD-WAN
solutions. This capability enables all future cloud applications to
integrate into the business without manual intervention.
Additionally, the SD-WAN solution delivers end-to-end visibility,
measuring each connection from any location on the network, all
along its path, to ADTRAN gateways at any other location. Further,
by identifying application traffic in real time, it can detect and
automatically adjust based on the performance needs of the
applications currently in use.
Unlike many edge-based or next-generation firewall-based SD-WAN
solutions, this improved SD-WAN cloud supports active-active WAN
links, inbound QoS, single IP failover and a cloud gateway
component for control of cloud-based content. It also includes
multiple gateways across the continental U.S and has its own
redundant backbone between gateways, upstream feeds at each
gateway, and connections for each customer location to two gateways
for failover protection. Additionally, service providers have the
option to move the cloud software to their data centers when they
are ready—providing flexibility to roll-out SD-WAN quickly by
leveraging the new ADTRAN SD-WAN cloud solution.
“ADTRAN’s software expertise and long history partnering with
service providers to serve SMBs and distributed enterprises enables
us to take networking and connectivity far beyond the limitations
of legacy hardware-based solutions,” ADTRAN Director of Software
Products and Solutions Chris Thompson said. “By enabling businesses
to realize the benefits of cloud networking while maintaining their
existing voice and security services, we’re empowering service
providers to quickly expand and grow their SD-WAN footprint.
Businesses can now make the move to a cloud-based service offering
with less cost, risk and disruption.”
This product will be available through ADTRAN’s service provider
channel, MSPs, and select system integrators.
