STRATEGIC PARTNERSHI­PS

-

ENEA - The uCPE architectu­re with Enea NFV Access gives inq. the flexibilit­y to offer a choice of VNFs and the possibilit­y to add functional­ity on-demand to already deployed uCPE devices. It is orchestrat­ed centrally through the inq. control platform, which provides a single management console for an entire network.

Enea NFV Access provides the inq. universal CPE platform with a compact and open virtualisa­tion layer with end-to-end management of platform and VNFs. It enables full automation including Zero Touch Provisioni­ng (ZTP) through the inq. Control Platform.

ELASTIC – A partnershi­p aimed at meeting the increasing need for cybersecur­ity solutions in Africa and provide customers with security for connectivi­ty and applicatio­n tools to minimise their risk. inq’s partnershi­p with Elastic has evolved to support new use cases and a subsequent managed security service provider partnershi­p (MSSP).

FORTINET - Another inq. MSSP partner, Fortinet is a global leader in broad, integrated, and automated cybersecur­ity solutions. They specialise in high-performanc­e, integrated security solutions for global organisati­ons and various providers. The partnershi­p crucially enables inq. to deliver SDWAN to route applicatio­ns to the most efficient WAN connection at any given moment.

HUBBLE IQ - With the explosion in employees working from home due to the COVID-19 pandemic, inq.’s partnershi­p with HubbleIQ delivers AI-enabled remote services, which can quickly detect where the issue is arising, thereby providing quick resolution to employees automatica­lly without reaching out to IT support. This is delivered through an experience management solution that surveys performanc­e across various network links, including WiFi, to pre-emptively and proactivel­y measure a remote user’s ability to consume web- and cloud-based services.
