BT’s Connect Intelligence IWAN service helps customers reap the business benefits of the Cloud-of-Clouds by taking advantage of broader virtualized functions such as application performance management and security
Sensing growing demand for next generation managed network services from today’s enterprises, British Telecom (BT) has rolled out Connect Intelligence IWAN, an innovative managed service portfolio that enables organizations to automatically route and optimize network traffic and gain visibility of applications performance without spending more on bandwidth.
Based primarily on Cisco’s Intelligent WAN (IWAN) platform, the new offering builds on BT’s existing intelligent network capabilities by using a hybrid environment and managed Software Defined Wide Area Network (SD-WAN) technology. The services offered as part of Connect Intelligence IWAN also help customers reap the business benefits of the Cloud-of-Clouds by taking advantage of broader virtualized functions such as application performance management and security.
“BT has been leading the research into emerging virtualization technologies from the beginning. For years, we have also been adding ‘intelligence’ to the network services we provide to our customers. NFV and SDN are part of that drive, and aim at making those services more dynamic and automated. They pave the way for a new generation of services that are quicker and easier to set up and change”, says Keith Langridge, Vice President, Network Services, BT Global Services. “BT Connect Intelligence IWAN leverages the Cisco IWAN solution to bring an important new building block in that virtualization effort. It will help our customers all over the world deal much more effectively with ever increasing bandwidth and traffic optimization demands”, adds Langridge.
