MetTel Launches Enhanced SD-WAN Solution

NEW YORK, May 17, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- MetTel, a leading communications solutions provider for enterprise businesses, today announced the launch of its enhanced SD-WAN solution for enterprise and mid-market customers. SD-WAN is currently one of the most requested communications solutions in the market, particularly for businesses operating in the retail, healthcare, hospitality and transportation industries.

As a signature approach, MetTel is delivering its enhanced SD-WAN solution by tapping into its extensive carrier relationships, enabling global businesses to benefit from a fully managed network deployment that manages all underlying carrier deployments, billing and maintenance. Most notably, this multi-carrier formula allows businesses with active MPLS networks locked in contracts to access the benefits of SD-WAN through MetTel's extensive layer 3 backbone network connections, when normally they would have to wait until end of contract to benefit from this new technology. This method also applies to enterprises running their own VPN network via various IP access services today. MetTel can unify the network, as well as the management of the various providers, while keeping the enterprise on diverse and already contracted circuits.

Additionally, MetTel's deployment of SD-WAN service is superior for organizations seeking to address security concerns and mesh legacy networks. By using the SD-WAN access service as an on-ramp to existing backbone networks and enterprise specific routing domains, MetTel can enable the enterprise to offer quality networks to internal users by diverting traffic off of public internet clouds as quickly as possible. This allows for greater insights and quicker response time when network issues arise, Quality of Service for managed networks that support voice, and it helps direct private connections to cloud services like Office 365 and Amazon Web Services.

"When dealing with a multilayered, hybrid solution like SD-WAN, organizations should consider consolidating all related products under a single network to fully realize its potential," said Gary Gluzman, Executive Director of Product, MetTel. "MetTel's holistic approach is ideal for organizations that are looking to maximize the savings, flexibility, efficiencies and security features that render the technology so popular for enterprises today."

Below are key benefits of MetTel's enhanced SD-WAN solution:

• Reduce total cost of ownership
• Combine bandwidth such as DSL, Cable and 4G LTE into a single connection
• Assure application performance
• Simplify branch deployments with cloud-based gateway provisioning based on pre-defined policies
