Fusion Connect announced
additions to its portfolio of services that address the challenges associated
with a distributed workforce. Their single device solution delivers an
industry-leading unified threat management (UTM) suite coupled with advanced
SD-WAN services designed specifically to meet the business needs of mid-market
and enterprise companies.
The flexible solution provides reliable and secure application performance
to workers regardless of their location while giving IT a unified management
and analytics portal with the ability to optimize security and application
performance. Fusion Connect couples this solution with a white glove design,
onboarding, and management approach that provide a single point of contact
across the entire process. This allows the solution to be tailored to each
customer's unique business needs, considering their physical and remote
workforce locations. The result is a highly tuned solution that optimizes
application performance, availability, latency, and security in a
cost-effective and scalable manner.
The solution itself is built using industry-leading edge devices that
integrate security and SD-WAN into a single device, eliminating the need to
deploy multiple devices at the edge. A single on-premises or
remote-worker-based device can be remotely managed in a way that enhances
business performance and security across the network and at every endpoint. In
addition, Remote Access VPN is an integrated part of the solution and can be
seamlessly managed using a single portal. By taking a holistic view of network
performance, availability, and security, companies can enhance their overall
business outcomes for every user type, application, and network resource.
"Our enhanced SD-WAN capabilities are essential for today's
decentralized workforce. Employees can be connected via Remote Access VPN or a
full-blown SD-WAN solution at their location," said Jeff Blackey, SVP of
Product at Fusion Connect. "And for IT teams, our enhanced SD-WAN portal
provides visibility into site-level and individual circuit performance,
application utilization, and security events. Network administrators have the
option to make security policy changes directly in the portal, without engaging
a support team."
"Fusion Connect is unique in the industry in providing a managed SD-WAN
solution that leverages three of the top SD-WAN infrastructure providers. Our
solution enables our customers to prioritize their mission-critical business
applications to ensure optimal employee productivity while simultaneously
protecting their business environment from cyberattacks, even for a remote
workforce.," said Michael Miller, CIO of Fusion Connect.
With these new capabilities, Fusion Connect
continues to evolve its product portfolio to better serve customers'
networking, communications, and security needs to integrate corporate locations
and a hybrid workforce.
