VeloCloud Networks announced that Deutsche Telekom has deployed its Software-Defined-WAN(SD_WAN) solution, between the U.S. and Germany, enabling it to demonstrate simplified orchestration and rapid deployment of advanced architectures supporting next-generation industrial networking.
Using VeloCloud's SD-WAN solution, Deutsche Telekom interconnected its Telekom Innovation Labs' headquarters in Berlin with its Silicon Valley Innovation Center (SVIC) in Mountain View, California, to develop a prototype network that would connect the robotics and 3D printing command center in Berlin with other non-printing robots in other parts of Germany. The goal was to enable 3D printers or robotic arms in Mountain View, or elsewhere, to instantly execute commands issued in Berlin.
Deutsche Telekom created its SVIC in 2008 to focus on research and development in emerging network and mobile technologies. The center focuses on a number of aspects in SDN, including Network Function Virtualization (NFV) and cloud networking technologies, Mobile and IoT as well as Industry 4.0.

VeloCloud Cloud-Delivered SD-WAN is the perfect platform to support the next generation of industrial IoT applications and stacks as it provides the secure, real-time and high performance communications needed between sensors and actuators at one end to the applications and analytics in the cloud at the other end.
Sumanth Sathyanarayana, Research Engineer of Deutsche Telekom
VeloCloud gives us agility through programmability, and capabilities such as automatic WAN link discovery and monitoring eliminate having to configure links and branch locations individually.
