Optus Business this week announced Optus Liquid Infrastructure – a new generation platform that helps enterprises configure their networks in as little as five minutes, and scale network capacity up and down in a few clicks.
Optus Liquid Infrastructure enables networks to behave in an intelligent way, with enterprises able to access bandwidth dynamically as their network demand surges – bringing more agility and flexibility to their digital transformation and the way they serve their customers.
Available now, Liquid Infrastructure offers a robust, scalable platform that delivers critical network services when and where they are needed. Embedded with network visibility and intelligence, the platform integrates Optus’ industry-leading data network infrastructure with software-defined networking technologies to provide customers with an on-demand network, greater productivity and potential cost savings.
After launch, Optus plans to expand the Liquid Infrastructure portfolio to enable multiple SDN functions on the network. This will allow us to provide customers with powerful and complimentary services within the Liquid Infrastructure framework, including integration and orchestration with edge SD-WAN solutions, network-based services, security services, cloud services, plus management and analytics capabilities.
The first product to be released within the Liquid Infrastructure portfolio will be Optus SD Ethernet, which offers enterprises a dynamic Layer 2 Ethernet WAN. These services can be delivered to both branch and datacentre locations nationally.

Up until now, managing dynamic changes to networks has been very complex and time-consuming due to the numerous manual interactions required. With Liquid Infrastructure’s single online interface, a customer can design their network to flex based on commercial and performance thresholds set in the Liquid Infrastructure portal.
