Fusion,
a leading provider of cloud services, has launched a new and enhanced
customer portal that will significantly advance its leading edge SD-WAN
(Software-Defined Wide Area Network) cloud network solution. This
centralized automation and cloud management tool enables customers to
fully control business policies, ensures optimal application
performance, and delivers rapid, low touch deployment with 24 x 7 x 356
monitoring and maintenance.
Fusion expects this
powerful new enhancement to its leading-edge cloud network solution to
advance its position in the rapidly expanding SD-WAN marketplace, which
IDC anticipates growing to $6 billion by 2020. SD-WAN first gained
significant industry recognition for its low-cost, high value benefits
as recently as 2015, and by 2019, a full 50% of enterprises are expected
to deploy SD-WAN solutions in some or all of their branches.
SD-WAN
is a transformational network solution that uses software and
cloud-based technologies to optimize the delivery, deployment and
management of WAN services. Traditionally, enterprises have had few
network options to provide secure, high-performing, high availability
access to business-critical applications that have been housed and
maintained in their on-premise data centers.
With SD-WAN, the
cloud is the network, allowing multi-branch enterprises to benefit from
high bandwidth, low cost Internet-based network connectivity. Unlike
other service providers, Fusion has built a robust, geographically
diverse nationwide network that offers customers multiple options to
engineer an optimal network solution. Fusion's cloud-based SD-WAN
solution is transport-independent, working across any combination of
circuits as it dynamically optimizes the network.
"Fusion
simplifies cloud access while at the same time expanding customer choice
with our advanced Over the Top and On-net solutions," said Russell P.
Markman, Fusion's President of Business Services. "With the introduction
of our new SD-WAN customer portal, Fusion is advancing its leadership
in the industry in providing a full range of connectivity options,
delivered over our own diverse, nationwide network.
"We are
particularly excited to have selected Channel Partners as the venue for
announcing this game-changing enhancement to our already
transformational SD-WAN solution. We look forward to welcoming new and
existing partners to our booth to demonstrate our end-to-end cloud
solutions suite and highlight the many ways that Fusion delivers optimal
solutions for our customers, ensuring the highest levels of quality,
reliability and security," Mr. Markman concluded.
