Singtel on Thursday launched Liquid-X, a next generation cloud-based networking platform which streamlines network management by integrating multi-cloud access, analytics and security.
This provides enterprises with centralised control, flexibility and scalability to manage their different networks around the world.
Liquid-X is supported by Singtel’s worldwide points-of-presence network infrastructure across 362 cities and partnerships with major public cloud and cloud-based software providers to provide assured multiple cloud access and consistent network performance.
Through MyConnect, Singtel’s self-service portal, Liquid-X’s analytics function enables enterprises to make data-driven network management decisions such as selecting the most suitable cloud or internet service provider for their worldwide branches. The portal also enables enterprises to centrally implement network policies, scale up network bandwidth, create new cloud connections on-demand, manage offices’ access into multiple clouds and deploy cloud solutions where they are needed.
To ensure secure cloud connectivity, Liquid-X is integrated with Singtel’s Managed Software-Defined Wide Area Network (SD WAN) solution to provide round-the-clock performance monitoring, detection and response to any network anomalies. With Singtel’s extensive global SD WAN coverage through 20 SD-WAN gateways worldwide, enterprises will enjoy secure, faster data traffic routing and more efficient access to major public clouds.
In addition to providing the convenience of multi-cloud access, network insights and security all in one solution, Liquid-X has a flexible pay-per-use pricing model which helps enterprises cut down fixed operating costs for connectivity that is not fully utilised.
