Macquarie Telecom, part of Macquarie Telecom Group announced it has signed an agreement with Microsoft to deliver VMware SD-WAN by VeloCloud services through the Microsoft Azure Marketplace.
The new agreement sees Macquarie become one of the first managed service providers (MSP) in the world to deliver VMware SD-WAN by VeloCloud (software-defined wide-area networking) through Microsoft’s new Azure Lighthouse capability, which gives partners increased automation and visibility across customers’ Azure environments.
The announcement comes as more than 80 per cent of Australian enterprises have or plan to deploy SD-WAN in the next two years.
Macquarie’s market-leading SD-WAN solution has led to the company becoming a leading VMware partner in Asia Pacific. The solution is used in almost 4,000 sites across Australia by Macquarie Telecom corporate customers.
