Strategic partnership combines Comcast Business
Managed Services expertise with Cisco SD-WAN powered by Viptela
Comcast Business today announced the expansion of its strategic
partnership with Cisco through the addition of Cisco SD-WAN powered
by Viptela to its managed SD-WAN solutions portfolio. The
collaboration expands Comcast Business’s ability to provide
enterprise customers with comprehensive, global secure networking
solutions with Ethernet, SD-WAN and security solutions – regardless
of their existing infrastructure or vendor relationships.
The global pandemic has spurred new work and customer experience
models, driving the growth of connected digital business solutions
and altering the network perimeter and enterprise cybersecurity
approaches. IT leaders are preparing for a host of challenges. They
are exploring new security frameworks such as secure access service
edge (SASE) and zero trust, which integrates SD-WAN with advanced
security solutions, to help secure critical business
infrastructure.
“The expansion of our strategic partnership with Cisco to
include Cisco SD-WAN allows us to offer our enterprise customers a
broad portfolio of secure network solutions aligned to their unique
needs and infrastructure requirements,” said Amit Verma, Vice
President, Solutions Engineering and Technology, Comcast Business.
“Our open, vendor-agnostic strategy combined with our access to
affordable, reliable broadband technology, allows us to craft a
solution that leverages the right mix of access technologies to
help enterprises meet their objectives and simplify network
management operations.”
Comcast Business Managed SD-WAN enables a simple managed service
offering that allows corporate IT staff to focus on business
priorities by simplifying time consuming, network management tasks.
It offers a cloud-delivered overlay WAN architecture that can
connect branches to data centers and multi-cloud environments
through a single network fabric and user experience.
Cisco SD-WAN powered by Viptela is a highly reliable and
resilient solution with a rich feature set integrating cloud
optimization, security, and advanced analytics. The solution
enables micro-segmentation and identity-based policy management,
extended end-to-end visibility into network health and performance,
and integrated 4G LTE and 5G connectivity functionality.
“As businesses evolve their hybrid work models, IT leaders are
being asked to extend the enterprise network to employees anywhere
and ensure delivery of consistent application experiences to any
location,” said JL Valente, Vice President, Product Management,
Enterprise Routing and SD-WAN at Cisco. “Working with Comcast
Business to offer advanced managed SD-WAN services based on Cisco
technology demonstrates our continued commitment to help customers
simplify their goal of providing secure access and the best user
experience when connecting to cloud applications.”
This new Comcast Business Managed SD-WAN service is based on
Cisco SD-WAN powered by Viptela. In addition, the Comcast Business
and Cisco managed services portfolio includes Cisco SD-WAN powered
by Meraki and Comcast Business Teleworker VPN with Cisco
Meraki.
