Tata Communications launched the latest addition to its IZO cloud enablement platform – IZO SDWAN. As the myriad of different applications, clouds, data sources and connections create complexity for organizations, IZO SDWAN helps them detangle this complexity and propel their growth through seamless, secure and easy-to-manage connectivity across 130 countries spanning both developed and emerging markets.
Underpinned by Tata Communications’ global network, IZO ecosystem, and partnerships with the world’s biggest cloud companies, IZO SDWAN boosts agility and flexibility for organizations. By enabling the instant deployment of branch office networks anywhere in the world, the new service helps organizations to expand and introduce new products and services faster, and adapt to rapidly changing market conditions.
IZO SDWAN is a fully managed and modular overlay service that is tightly integrated with the underlay – the world’s largest and most advanced IP network. That is why it is quick, easy and risk-free to integrate into organizations’ existing network set-up – be it the public Internet, a hybrid network or a private WAN – boosting the efficiency of bandwidth use while reducing OPEX. By providing employees with faultless, secure access to applications and data, and empowering them to collaborate securely and seamlessly wherever in the world they are, IZO SDWAN enables organizations to drive further efficiencies, boost productivity and improve the bottom line.
“A new kind of platform economy is emerging, paving the way for innovative co-created services and business models that transform entire industries,” says Genius Wong, President, Global Network Services, Cloud and Data Centre Services at Tata Communications. “But the management of a multitude of applications, clouds and connections which power the platform economy can be hugely challenging for organizations. Our IZO cloud enablement platform and its latest addition, IZO SDWAN, harness our unparalleled global reach and our partnerships to tackle these challenges and enable organizations to unleash the growth potential that new markets, geographies and business models bring through a scalable, borderless and easy-to-manage network.”
Tata Communications has developed multiple variants of IZO SDWAN to suit its customers’ different business and technology requirements. These variants consist of patent-pending technology, and one that builds on technology supplied by Versa Networks, a Gartner ‘Cool Vendor’. This ensures maximum choice and flexibility for organizations.
Fujitsu Consulting India is also a beta customer of IZO SDWAN, using the new solution as part of its next-generation hybrid network to enhance service delivery and corporate IT services access. Mohammed Shahed Khan, Group Head, IT Infrastructure & CISO, Fujitsu Consulting India, said: “Given the multitude of IT projects we undertake for our customers, the flexibility, scalability and reliability of our network is paramount. That is why we are currently deploying a next-generation hybrid network – it will enable us to accelerate service delivery and connect new applications and devices in an instant. A software-defined WAN will make us more agile, and empower us to continue to stay ahead of the competition, effortlessly.”
