Singtel ConnectPlus SD-WAN powered by Viptela simplifies
enterprise WAN environments by establishing a unified network plane
that spans disparate networks, from MPLS to Internet and metro
Ethernet. While giving enterprises control through network
segmentation for separate lines of business, partner networks,
public WiFi access, etc. with end-to-end visibility. It enables
organizations to centrally create, control and enforce policies
throughout the network to meet performance requirements for
different application types including voice, data and video. This
service helps organizations reduce operating costs by providing a
single point of control over network requirements regardless of the
number of physical locations and networking devices used.
The judges noted that unifying disparate networks is “a big
issue in the industry” and that the Singtel/Viptela service is
“right on trend, which is what we look for in this category”. In
addition to the “impressive capabilities” of the service, the panel
highlighted “Singtel’s large footprint in Asia”.
“Just 18 months into the Viptela - Singtel partnership, we have
established a growing base of customers throughout Asia Pacific,
the Middle East, Europe and the US,” said James Winebrenner, VP of
Worldwide Sales at Viptela. “Winning the 2016 World Communication
Award is a significant achievement that places Viptela and Singtel
on the center stage of the global telecom industry.”
