Globe launches 1st fully integrated cloud-based Wide Area Network in PH
Globe Telecom has introduced another game-changing technology for businesses in the Philippines, enabling 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.
Software-Defined Wide Area Network (SD-WAN) is being pioneered in the Philippines by Globe Business, the information and communications technology arm of Globe. It is designed to allow enterprises drive rapid growth and achieve international competitiveness as well as bring Globe closer to first world connectivity in the country.
“We continue to modernize and expand our corporate data network, ensuring that it is future-ready to offer businesses the services and solutions they need even in remote areas in the country. SD-WAN 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.
SD-WAN is a service primarily created for businesses as it ensures faster deployment, business agility, and 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.
Banks with multiple branches and automated teller machines (ATMs) nationwide can now build secure, reliable, and efficient network connections with Globe SD-WAN.
