AMSTERDAM, March 1, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- The Dutch
company, Nutreco, a global leader in animal nutrition and aquafeed
has turned to AT&T* to help grow its global business. In a
3-year contract, Nutreco chose an integrated, global network
solution.
Nutreco will use our virtualized network service AT&T
FlexWareSM, as well as AT&T VPN and internet access.
These services run across our global network based MPLS
infrastructure, which provides a highly secure global network
environment.
Nutreco's view:
"Innovation is as important as
cost savings and efficiencies. That's why my team turned to
AT&T, which is demonstrating technology leadership with
software-defined networking," said Henry
van der Ven, CIO, Nutreco.
Why it matters
Nutreco has a strategy of buying new companies and organic
growth. Our edge-to-edge technologies provide near real-time
intelligence from every corner of Nutreco's business, so Nutreco
can sense and adapt to change. They provide a platform for
future growth and innovation. AT&T FlexWare is an elegant
solution for a fast, responsive and future-ready global
network.
We're helping Nutreco employees connect and share business data.
They are doing this in a highly secure way, whether they work from
Nutreco's Dutch headquarters in Amersfoort or from a factory in
Vietnam.
Nutreco's production sites are in multiple locations around the
world. We are providing our networking connectivity
solutions across all its 200 locations in Asia Pacific, North
America, Europe and Latin
America. These sites include 100 production plants in 35
countries; 11 research & development centers in 7
countries.
How network function virtualization works
Nutreco will use the router function of AT&T FlexWare.
It's a virtual network function, so Nutreco doesn't need to invest
in proprietary hardware. AT&T FlexWare offers the ability to
use virtualized network functions like routers, firewalls and
accelerators. This will help Nutreco adapt and upgrade
functions as they grow, and their needs evolve – all designed to
deliver a lower total cost of ownership.
Our opinion:
"We are building a global network
that is elegant and future ready. It's ideal for Nutreco's global
growth strategy," said John V Slamecka, region president, EMEA,
AT&T Business. "In fact, our customers are turning to us more
and more for integrated networking solutions, and we are seeing a
lot of momentum for AT&T FlexWare."
