BCN Telecom partners with Windstream Wholesale for SD-WAN adoption
August 17 2017 - 9:30AM
Windstream, (NASDAQ:WIN), a leading provider of advanced network
communications, announced today that BCN Telecom – a New
Jersey-based technology service provider specializing in
multi-location, multi-product aggregation – will soon be adding
Windstream Wholesale’s Software Defined Wide Area Network (SD-WAN)
solution to its nationwide product suite. As the first Windstream
Wholesale reseller partner to announce execution of an SD-WAN
agreement, BCN Telecom plans to extend the service to its entire
network of agents, enabling them to provide their business
customers with this industry-leading networking solution.
Launched earlier this year, Windstream Wholesale’s SD-WAN
solution uses software-defined networking (SDN) to create a smart,
responsive network, accommodating real-time shifts in bandwidth
demand and intelligently routing traffic over public or private
networks to reach multiple locations. Reseller partners manage
their networks and remote devices from a single, cloud-based
interface, rather than through traditional methods such as routers,
firewalls and switches.
Adopting Windstream Wholesale’s SD-WAN drives BCN Telecom to the
forefront of reseller partners in the SD-WAN market, allowing BCN
to support the unique and changing business needs of each agent –
as well as each individual client – with agility and ease. Driven
by rapid cloud adoption, increased mobility and shifting business
priorities, the strain placed on multi-site business networks is
outpacing traditional technology solutions. By evolving beyond
these legacy voice and data network topologies, BCN will be able to
offer a tailored and secure, scalable and easy-to-deploy technology
that fosters business transformation and success.
“The addition of SD-WAN is a natural evolution for the BCN
portfolio and complementary to our internet access and data network
services,” said Julian Jacquez, BCN’s chief operating officer.
“BCN’s longstanding relationship with Windstream Wholesale -
in addition to the superior features of and operational support for
their SD-WAN offering - led us to the decision to enter into this
agreement. We have the utmost confidence in Windstream’s ability to
expertly support our team and our agent partners in delivering the
many benefits SD-WAN technology will bring to our enterprise
customers.”
Windstream Wholesale’s SD-WAN – available to reseller partners
throughout its nationwide footprint - relieves the demanding
pressures on overburdened networks by providing increased agility,
visibility and control, as well as improved performance and
operational efficiencies. The simple, comprehensive management tool
allows BCN, as well as other reseller partners, to optimize
performance of end-user applications or value-added services
offering delivery of a fully integrated service portfolio and
enhanced customer experience, ultimately strengthening recurring
revenue opportunities.
“I am thrilled that BCN has embraced Windstream Wholesale’s
SD-WAN as a strategic addition to their business solutions
portfolio,” said Melissa Cook, vice president of the reseller
partner program for Windstream Wholesale. “Throughout the
course of our strong partnership with BCN – spanning more than 10
years – they have experienced solid, steady growth and as one of
our top reseller partners, I’m confident that deploying SD-WAN will
offer them an even stronger competitive edge, as well as the
opportunity to deepen client engagement and broaden their market
reach.”
