GERMANTOWN, Md., Jan. 19, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Hughes Network
Systems, LLC (Hughes), a leading
Managed Services Provider of network solutions, today introduced
the Hughes Managed SD-WAN, delivered as an end-to-end
turnkey network. Hughes Managed SD-WAN joins the
comprehensive range of HughesON™ networking services for highly
distributed organizations, such as those in the retail, restaurant,
financial services and government sectors.
"Digitization is a vital transformation for companies, but
digitization requires the network to transform as well," notes
Zeus Kerravala, Founder and
Principal Analyst with ZK Research. "SD-WAN is the right,
next generation solution for today's businesses seeking greater
agility, richer customer experience and improved operational
efficiencies. However, distributed organizations face unique
deployment challenges that a managed service can help overcome to
realize the full potential of an SD-WAN."
The Hughes Managed SD-WAN helps to overcome these
challenges with significant benefits compared to traditional
private networks, including cloud readiness, high performance,
higher network and application availability, network flexibility
and cost savings. It leverages innovative Hughes
ActiveTechnologies™ to transform ordinary broadband connections
into enterprise-grade high performance WANs, including support for
demanding applications such as VoIP and video. These include:
- ActivePath™, which incorporates powerful algorithms and
techniques that exploit the use of multiple branch paths. It
ensures applications are delivered without interruption across the
secure WAN regardless of degradation on a single path.
- ActiveQoS™, which continuously measures end-to-end
capacity on broadband links, dynamically updating multi-level path
priority queues and traffic shapers to best maximize branch
bandwidth usage. This results in dramatically improved performance
for VoIP and video traffic across all outlets, especially those
served by lower bandwidth service plans.
- ActiveClassifier™, which automatically and dynamically
classifies traffic based on flow behavior, eliminating the
time-consuming process of manually configuring and maintaining
rules to classify and prioritize specific applications required by
otherSD-WAN products. This optimization is particularly critical
for real-time and cloud-based applications allowing this traffic to
be prioritized over non-time sensitive data.
- ActiveCompression™, which reduces network congestion and
improves application performance, especially at
bandwidth-constrained branch sites.
As part of the solution, Hughes
integrates and manages cost effective nationwide broadband access,
including cable, fiber, cellular and high-throughput satellite
transports in flexible configurations.
"With organizations continuing to adopt new cloud-based and rich
media applications, networks are facing more traffic and stress
than ever before," said Mike Cook,
senior vice president, North American Division at Hughes. "The Hughes Managed SD-WAN
delivers a unique solution that combines innovative broadband
optimization technologies with the benefits of integrated service
management, addressing the challenges for organizations with
numerous far flung operating locations. As a leading provider of
managed network services in North
America, Hughes has the
proven success and innovative technologies to offer customers a
fully managed network service that optimizes performance and
resolves bandwidth, availability and cloud access
challenges."
The Hughes Managed SD-WAN incorporates advanced
best-in-class on premise and network based security capabilities.
Security services are managed through Hughes Security Operations
Center (SOC), staffed by experienced security professionals armed
with state-of-the-art security tools.
