New cloud-based SD-WAN edge platform offers
open platform for versatility and scalability
ADTRAN, Inc., (NASDAQ:ADTN), the leading provider of
next-generation open networking and subscriber experience
solutions, today announced at ITEXPO the launch of its ADTRAN 934
SD-WAN edge platform. ADTRAN is enabling managed service providers
to make the transition away from proprietary hardware and
applications to an open, virtualized approach that is more agile,
higher-performance and lower cost.
ADTRAN’s cloud-based SD-WAN solution works in conjunction with
the on-premises ADTRAN 934 edge platform. Unlike first generation,
CPE-based solutions, ADTRAN leverages intelligent cloud software
and a dedicated backbone network, controlling traffic to and from
business-critical SaaS applications. This unique cloud-based
networking approach brings simplicity and flexibility to small to
medium-sized businesses (SMBs) and distributed enterprises. The 934
solution is based on Intel’s x86 architecture that enables an open,
virtualized approach to easily expand applications and networking
functions—regardless of the developing vendor. ADTRAN’s unique
approach enables managed service providers to transparently
integrate with existing security solutions and seamlessly adapt to
any change to network or application usage, making the transition
to SD-WAN easier, faster and more affordable.
“The SD-WAN market continues to rapidly grow, reaching over $1
billion in annual sales, and we’re seeing many managed service
providers add this type of service to their portfolios. It is
critical they have the ability to easily and quickly add and
provision new services in order to stay competitive and optimize
customer experience,” said Lee Doyle, Principal Analyst at Doyle
Research. “Platforms based on the Intel x86 architecture will
support multi-vendor environments, making it easier to add any
virtualized feature that will add value to the service bundle.”
Unlike many edge-based or next-generation firewall-based SD-WAN
solutions, ADTRAN’s improved SD-WAN cloud approach supports
active-active WAN links, inbound QoS, single IP failover and a
cloud gateway component for control of cloud-based content. The
solution employs multiple gateways across the continental U.S. with
redundant connections, upstream feeds and each location provides
multiple entry points to maximize performance and provide failover
protection.
“ADTRAN is committed to developing solutions that enable our
customers to build and manage networks the way they should be. For
SD-WAN, that means a solution that is not disruptive to other
critical business systems and, even more importantly, a solution
that automatically adapts to our customers’ ever-changing cloud
application and business needs,” said Chris Thompson, Director of
Software Products and Solutions at ADTRAN. “The 934 solution builds
a strong foundation for our SD-WAN portfolio where we will be
layering on valuable applications and features that drive even more
value into the business network.”
ADTRAN will lend its SD-WAN expertise to ITEXPO this week in Ft.
Lauderdale, with Thompson speaking at the collocated MSP Expo on
Thursday, February 13, at 1:00 p.m. EST. In the session titled,
“Setting Up for SD-WAN Sales Success,” Thompson will join a panel
of thought leaders to answer the biggest questions managed service
providers face when looking to add SD-WAN services to their
portfolio.
