Comcast Business today extends congratulations to its strategic
SDN partner, Versa Networks, on being recognized as a Visionary in
the “Gartner Magic Quadrant for WAN Edge Infrastructure” for the
second consecutive year. Additionally, Versa Networks received the
highest score for Small/Midsize Enterprises/Regional WAN and scored
in the top third for all four use cases in the companion Gartner
analyst research report, “Critical Capabilities for WAN Edge
Infrastructure.”
In September 2017, Comcast Business launched the Comcast
Business ActiveCore SDN Platform – the first cable-delivered,
gig-ready SDN platform in the country. At that time, Comcast
Business also announced Software Defined Wide Area Networking
(SD-WAN) as the first virtual network function (VNF) delivered on
the ActiveCore platform. The SD-WAN solution combines Versa’s Cloud
IP Platform with the power of Comcast’s Gig speed network.
“With the ActiveCore platform, our vision was to create a SDN
platform upon which we could deliver multiple services, including
SD-WAN. As a result, the decision to partner with Versa was easy
given their depth of SD-WAN expertise, carrier-grade networking and
multiproduct functionality,” said Bob Victor, Senior Vice
President, Product Management, Comcast Business. “We want to extend
our heartfelt congratulations to the entire Versa team on their
Visionary designation in Gartner’s Magic Quadrant for WAN Edge
Infrastructure. We’re proud to partner with Versa and celebrate
this exciting honor and industry validation.”
The Comcast Business ActiveCore platform, leveraging Versa,
allows Comcast Business to be more agile and responsive – serving
enterprise needs faster. ActiveCore delivers new services and
network changes via software rather than through
individually-managed and customized hardware. The platform features
an embedded orchestration capability, allowing it to seamlessly
deliver and manage multiple virtualized network functions (VNF).
When combined with an open, extensible IT infrastructure,
ActiveCore delivers better agility at lower costs. What’s more, the
platform provides actionable performance data in a single view for
smarter, faster decision making, helping customers quickly
identify, troubleshoot and resolve issues across their entire
enterprise. ActiveCore can easily be paired with Comcast’s
high-performance, DOCSIS 3.1-based gigabit broadband service.
