New game-changing tech to help businesses expand

Globe Telecom has introduced another gamechanging technology for businesses in the Philippines which would enable them to move better and expand faster using a corporate data network that is affordable and easy to deploy yet remains secure, reliable, and efficient.

The new technology called Software-Defined Wide Area Network (SDWAN) is being pioneered in the Philippines by Globe Business, the information and communications technology arm of Globe. It is designed to allow local enterprises drive rapid growth and achieve international competitiveness as well as bring Globe closer to realizing first world connectivity in the country.

“We continue to modernize and expand our corporate data network, ensuring that it is futureready to offer businesses the services and solutions they need even in remote areas in the country. SDWAN revolutionizes how corporate data networks in the Philippines are defined. It would enable us to reach places we’ve never been before, capitalizing on both our broadband and corporate data network,” said Gil Genio, Globe Chief Technology and Information Officer.

SD-WAN is a cutting edge technology that simplifies the way enterprises and growing businesses manage and expand their corporate network. It utilizes a plug-and-play device leveraging on cloud-based technology that can be easily installed and configured as long as there is fixed broadband connectivity.

Genio pointed out that SD-WAN is a service primarily created for businesses as it ensures faster deployment, business agility, and enhanced visibility to empower enterprises to manage their network operations. Businesses which choose to use this service will enjoy a better understanding of infrastructure and IT traffic flows; a faster, simpler, and more secure way of setting up new branches; and greater control over network and business requirements.

Globe SD-WAN complements a company’s existing Wide Area Network (WAN) and Internet Protocol – Virtual Private Network (IP-VPN) connections. This capability lets enterprises adapt to relevant scenarios or address customers’ needs anytime. Companies can also experience optimal connectivity through automated rerouting of traffic across the most efficient routes and connections.

“Globe SD-WAN is one of the solutions that will bolster our efforts in providing better, faster, simpler, and more reliable connectivity for businesses in the Philippines. It opens up opportunities for businesses to do more and be more. Making businesses flourish is part of our thrust to become the Trusted Business Advisor. We provide businesses with the right technologies, build better infrastructure, and share best business practices and know-how,” said Peter Maquera, Globe SVP for Enterprise Group.
