CITIC
Telecom International CPC Limited ("CITIC Telecom CPC"), a wholly-owned
subsidiary of CITIC Telecom International Holdings Limited, today
announced the launch of its SD-WAN solution, branded as "TrueCONNECT
Hybrid," across its European network as part of a global solution.
Designed
to address the needs of today's distributed enterprises for more
flexible, open and cloud-based WAN technologies, TrueCONNECT Hybrid is a
Software Defined Wide Area Network (SD-WAN) solution that virtualizes
the topology of enterprise network infrastructure, integrating multiple
access technologies (including private WAN networks, mobile networks,
and Internet links) into a single active-active hybrid WAN that can be
easily orchestrated, while maintaining excellent Quality of Service
(QoS) and network resilience.
"Modern
enterprises need modern infrastructure," said James Halberstadt, CITIC
Telecom CPC's European Managing Director. "Legacy fixed WANs cannot
efficiently or effectively cope with the digital transformation demands
of modern business. Multiple application deployment and operational
models, short lead times and challenging Service Level Agreements for
mission critical services that are now deployed in private and public
cloud require a new hybrid SD-WAN approach."
Amplified Enterprise Agility
TrueCONNECT
Hybrid supports TrueCONNECT Premium QoS and is the ideal solution for
mission critical and traffic heavy applications, which will
automatically be assigned optimal network resources (such as MPLS paths)
for a more seamless and responsive end-user experience.
Addressing
the multi-cloud topologies of modern enterprises, TrueCONNECT Hybrid
enables elastic cloud-to-cloud interconnectivity, securing all private
and public cloud connectivity (for all applications and transport
methods) between branch offices, remote sites and larger corporate data
centers.
By
offering breakthrough flexibility, security, efficiency, and management
ease, compared to traditionally routed enterprise WAN architecture,
TrueCONNECT Hybrid helps enterprises achieve hybrid WAN connections,
while greatly simplifying enterprise WAN orchestration and
administration. It ensures organizations have the agility to swiftly and
easily react to market or environment changes, while minimizing time,
overhead, complexity and cost. It can also be combined with TrueCONNECT
Accelerator (Managed WAN Optimization Services) to further increase WAN
throughput effectively and economically, with even greater bandwidth
utilization and application performance.
Easy and Efficient Administration
As
a "one-stop-shop" managed solution, TrueCONNECT Hybrid uses a "Single
Box" deployment approach to deliver maximum convenience for CITIC
Telecom CPC's enterprise customers, with each customer site only
requiring one network device that is fully managed by CITIC Telecom
CPC's 24x7 professional teams. Customers can easily monitor their WANs
via a user-friendly management portal, while CITIC Telecom CPC handles
daily maintenance, troubleshooting, and other administrative concerns,
freeing up customer IT staff so they can focus on more productive tasks.
"TrueCONNECT
Hybrid truly and literally redefines distributed enterprise
infrastructure," added Mr Halberstadt. "Our professional service teams
right across Europe can also customize the solution to fit each
customer's unique business needs. With an increasing number of European
Enterprises depending on external providers for mission-critical
cloud-based platforms and applications, and anticipated business growth
via opportunities stemming from China's One Belt One Road Initiative, I
am pleased we can offer this remarkable solution to our European
customers so they can readily enjoy the benefits of cutting-edge network
virtualization and gain new levels of business agility and
cost-effectiveness."
TrueCONNECT
Hybrid is immediately available and seamlessly interoperates with CITIC
Telecom CPC's other flagship enterprise solutions. For more
