experience to boost productivity levels
A new business-grade Internet service from Orange Business
Services – Business VPN Internet Accelerate – provides access to
cloud applications up to ten times faster1 for enterprise users
worldwide. Based on Akamai Cloud Networking, it helps improve
productivity by ensuring employees can reliably access internal and
Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) applications globally. It is a major
addition to the Orange Business VPN global offer for multinational
corporations, underpinned by end-to-end Service Level Objectives
(SLOs).
This new business-grade Internet solution delivers up to ten
times faster access to cloud applications, such as CRM, ERP and
Business Intelligence. With optimized SaaS access, enterprise users
no longer have to wait for cloud-based applications, dashboards and
documents to open and save, thereby helping to boost productivity
and customer service levels. Business VPN Internet Accelerate also
provides reliable VPN transport over the Internet for branch office
sites connected via an IPSec tunnel over the Internet.
The Orange business-grade Internet service relies on the global
Akamai Intelligent Platform, which includes nearly 200,000 servers
across more than 110 countries and advanced optimization
technologies. It also leverages the Orange global, secure, private
network with a wide choice of mobile, satellite and wireline access
links, providing reach into any geography.
To ensure the best possible cloud application experience, Orange
leverages its five customer support centers and eight CyberSecurity
Operations Centers around the world. This provides enterprise
network traffic analysis, service configuration, SLA and security
monitoring and incident management services. Optimized connectivity
is complemented by a wide choice of market-leading cloud solutions
available in the Orange Business Services secured cloud hub,
Business VPN Galerie.
“Getting networks fit for a cloud future with ‘business grade’
connectivity is a vital first step that enterprises need to take to
meet their digital business transformation goals. Business VPN
Internet Accelerate complements our Business VPN offering and
allows enterprises to embrace global hybrid networks and the
Internet, while maximizing reliability, performance and security,”
said Pierre-Louis Biaggi, vice president, Connectivity
Solutions, Orange Business Services.
“Akamai and Orange have a long-running joint innovation board,
and it is exciting to have Orange select Akamai Cloud Networking to
power Business VPN Internet Accelerate. We’ve leveraged Akamai’s
proven web acceleration technology and the Orange track record of
supporting enterprises’ digital transformation programs with the
right mix of connectivity and security solutions, cloud
applications, and M2M/mobile platforms. This combination will
ensure enterprises get the fast, reliable and secure cloud services
they need to drive profitable growth,” said Willie M. Tejada,
senior vice president and GM, Cloud Networking, Akamai.
Orange is currently running pilots of Business VPN Internet
Accelerate with a number of enterprises, and the service is
scheduled to be globally available in early 2016.
