Telia Carrier on Monday launched its advanced SD-WAN service that is based on Cisco SD-WAN powered by Viptela.
The Operator claims that the new SD-WAN service enables enterprises to attach their WAN overlay to the world’s best-connected internet backbone network, entirely operated by Telia Carrier.
In 2017, Telia Carrier, via its parent company Telia Company, was the first European service provider to launch SD-WAN. The company is now strengthening its offering to meet the growing demands of global enterprises in Europe, North America, and parts of Asia. Enterprises will benefit from Telia Carrier’s unique cloud-scale internet backbone, ranked number 1 in the world (Dyn Research), as the underlay, which complements the resilient overlay it can build on Cisco’s SD-WAN platform.
This latest offering highlights continued collaboration with Cisco. Last month, Telia Carrier launched a 400 gigabit Ethernet (GbE)-ready network that is based on Cisco’s cloud-scale NCS 5500 routing platform. The network powers Telia Carrier’s global backbone network, which reaches more than 120 countries.
Staffan Gojeryd, CEO, Telia Carrier
We see tremendous opportunities to help global enterprises with their digital transformation journeys through the ‘cloudification of networking’ with the support of our backbone as the primary underlay and an award-winning customer experience.
Eron Dunne, Director of Research, Vertical Systems Group
Telia Carrier has a unique advantage as the operator of one of the world's largest global internet backbones to simplify the adoption of SD-WAN using their established ecosystem.
