January 21 2020 - 1:00PM
Consolidated Communications (NASDAQ: CNSL) a leading broadband and
business communications provider, today announced its enhancement
of SD-WAN, a software based technology solution that optimizes
network performance using the Company’s private network and
gateways. Consolidated added several new gateways to improve
customer proximity, which reduces latency and results in better
performance. Consolidated’s SD-WAN solution is based on VMware
SD-WAN by VeloCloud, recently named a leader in the Gartner 2019
Magic Quadrant for WAN Edge Infrastructure.
The solution integrates more tightly with the Company’s security
and VoIP offerings. Customers benefit from layering in other
advanced security and unified communications solutions that better
meet the demands of their business.
By dynamically determining the optimal delivery path for traffic
in the WAN, Consolidated’s sophisticated SD-WAN solution
automatically manages bandwidth to make sure high priority
applications and critical traffic continually perform at a high
level. It’s a proven technology that results in an optimal user
experience and provides benefits to customers by ensuring network
uptime in a secure environment.
“SD-WAN offers businesses reliability and flexibility in
connecting their critical branch operations,” said Doug Abolt, vice
president of commercial product management at Consolidated
Communications. “Our solution offers greater bandwidth, tighter
security and access to their high priority applications, all with
the visibility and support they need when they need it.”
“VMware is pleased to work with Consolidated Communications to
provide an efficient, more secure SD-WAN solution that improves
customer network performance,” said Sasha Emmerling, senior
director, VeloCloud business unit, VMware. “VMware SD-WAN with its
application performance, simplicity and automation and more secure
hyperscale architecture delivers exceptional end user experience,”
she added.
Consolidated’s SD-WAN solution is backed by an experienced team
dedicated to providing a high level of service that meets the
specific needs of business customers. Managed and co-managed
solutions are available to fit any size business. Consolidated’s
zero touch operations and easy maintenance means IT resources spend
less time on configuration at each site, mitigating the risk of
error.
“Consolidated Communications is committed to providing our
customers an unparalleled experience with advanced solutions that
improve uptime and boost performance,” added Abolt. “By combining
SD-WAN with our complementary portfolio of services, including
