Comcast Business is the first cable company to introduce a
carrier-grade, SD-WAN platform for enterprises and multi-site
businesses. It is teaming with Versa Networks, the leading provider
of next-generation, software-based networking and security. Using
the Versa Cloud IP Platform, Comcast is delivering a highly secure
turnkey service with unprecedented levels of operational
efficiencies in today’s digital era.
“Our SD-WAN solution pairs a carrier-grade, hosted SDN
environment with widely available gigabit service," said Kevin
O’Toole, senior vice president of Product Management for Comcast
Business. "Together, our SD-WAN and gigabit bandwidth solutions
herald a new generation of networking that provides the bandwidth,
scalability, reliability and flexibility needed to power the cloud
applications that are transforming business operations."
Comcast Business is rolling out Business Internet 1000, a DOCSIS
3.1-based gigabit internet service, for business customers and
plans to offer it throughout its service areas. The company also
offers a wide range of multi-gigabit, fiber-based Ethernet services
across the country. The combination of SD-WAN capabilities and
these high-performance broadband and Ethernet network services
creates a powerful offering for mid-market and large enterprises
investing in hybrid WAN solutions.
“Given the speeds and ubiquity of today’s broadband, SD-WAN is
making the internet a secure and smarter business option
for growth,” said Courtney Munroe, group vice president, IDC. “Now,
businesses can more cost-effectively add the bandwidth they need
across branch locations to succeed in today’s fast-paced digital
economy. Comcast’s SD-WAN and high-speed broadband network is an
innovative trial offering that can complement any existing business
network.”
The Comcast Business SD-WAN beta trial will continue throughout
the summer with the company anticipating a full market launch later
this year. To learn more about Comcast’s SD-WAN solution, visit us
