Convergeone, which is the leading global IT services provider of collaboration and technology solutions, has announced that it has expanded its SD-WAN portfolio with the launch of its Secure SD-WAN powered by Cisco Viptela.
The Minnesota-based IT services provider said that Cisco Viptela will power the new offering, which provides “multilayer resiliency and sub-second failover.” Turns out, ConvergeOne was already using Cisco Meraki for an SD-WAN managed service, but the additional offering gives customers flexibility to choose a platform that best meets their needs.
“The rapid pace of applications moving to the cloud and distributed workforces are driving accelerated demand for secure access, reliability and optimal performance of enterprise networks. Our customers rely on ConvergeOne to ensure their business availability and uptime”
-Paul Maier, President of ConvergeOne’s services organization
