Silver Peak, the global SD-WAN leader,
delivering the transformational promise of the cloud with a
self-driving wide area network, today announced an expanded global
partnership with Tech Mahindra, broadening the provider's managed SD-WAN services portfolio with new tiered services powered by the business-driven Unity EdgeConnect SD-WAN
edge platform. With EdgeConnect, Tech Mahindra business customers
benefit from an SD-WAN edge platform that unifies SD-WAN, firewall,
routing and WAN optimization network functions in a single system to
simplify and consolidate the network edge and assure the highest levels
of network and application performance.
The
new Silver Peak-based managed SD-WAN services are available immediately
to Tech Mahindra business customers across the Americas and Europe
regions with two delivery model options. Distributed enterprises can
deploy EdgeConnect with Silver Peak hardware appliances or as a single
VNF running on multi-purpose universal CPE devices deployed at sites
across their networks.
"The
partnership between Tech Mahindra and Silver Peak will definitely help
both organizations leverage each other's strengths to create new
opportunities in the market. The Silver Peak Unity EdgeConnect SD-WAN
edge platform is one of a kind and we are very excited to take it to our
customers. As part of our TechMNxt charter,
we at Tech Mahindra focus on Digital Transformation for all our
customers and continue living our mantra of Collaborative Disruption,"
said Manish Vyas, president - global CME business and chief executive
for Network Services at Tech Mahindra.
"We're
delighted to bring the power of our EdgeConnect SD-WAN edge platform to
Tech Mahindra business customers across the Americas and Europe
regions," said Michael O'Brien, vice president of worldwide channels at
Silver Peak. "By uniquely unifying SD-WAN, firewall, routing and WAN
optimization in a single system, EdgeConnect enables customers to shift
to a business-first networking model where top-down business intent is
the driver, not bottoms-up technology constraints. This new model
simplifies operations, lowers network costs and enables customers to
deliver the highest quality of performance for business-critical
applications, effectively transforming their networks into a business
accelerant."
