Teneo,
the Specialist Integrator of Next-Generation Technology, is partnering
with Riverbed, the application performance company, to deliver a managed
SD-WAN service supported by Riverbed SteelConnect, a unique
application-defined SD-WAN solution that is redefining cloud networking.
A
Riverbed partner since 2004, Teneo managed services have leveraged the
complete Riverbed Application Performance Platform for many years,
serving customers across the globe through its offices in the UK,
France, USA and Australia. With Teneo's new Managed SD-WAN service
offering powered by Riverbed SteelConnect, customers can confidently
accelerate their adoption of cloud-based services and applications
through expert assessment, migration and management of modern hybrid
networks.
Riverbed
SteelConnect is a unique software-defined and application-centric
solution that delivers the agility, visibility, and performance that
businesses need to succeed in the cloud era. It is the industry's first
and only SD-WAN solution to unify network connectivity and policy-based
orchestration of application delivery across hybrid WANs, cloud networks
- including one-click connectivity to AWS and Azure - and branch
LAN/WLANs. SteelConnect is seamlessly integrated as part of the broader
Riverbed Application Performance Platform, combining end-to-end
performance management, WAN optimization, and software-defined edge IT
solutions, integrated into a complete application delivery architecture
for the digital enterprise.
Having
worked with software-defined technology since 2011, Teneo provides the
necessary people resource, skillset, time and around the clock
management needed to operate Riverbed's SD-WAN technology at optimum
levels of performance and efficiency, 24x7. With the addition of Teneo's
Managed SD-WAN service powered by Riverbed SteelConnect, customers can
truly achieve next-generation transformation of their networks.
"Many
of our customers are beginning the transition to a software-defined
networking approach and are looking for ways to see faster results,"
commented Marc Sollars, CTO at Teneo. "Leveraging our Professional and
Managed Services along with our strong partnership with Riverbed, we're
ideally placed to help customers negotiate their way around their legacy
technology, plan an SD-WAN deployment that fully supports their
business and application priorities, and ensure the ongoing management
of that deployment through our Managed SD-WAN service."
"As
our customers adopt more and more cloud apps and services, they're
faced with the need to evolve beyond legacy approaches to networking,
which are too static, hardware-centric and error-prone," said Paul
O'Farrell, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Riverbed's
SteelConnect, SteelHead, and SteelFusion business units. "Riverbed and
Teneo have partnered to ensure that our customers can successfully
transition to newer software-defined networks that can support the
modern needs of business with greater agility and ease."
Teneo offers a Riverbed-led Roadmap and an SD-WAN Lunch and Learn.
