Oracle has entered into an agreement to acquire Corente, a leading provider of software-defined networking (SDN) technology for wide area networks (WANs) to accelerate deployment of cloud-based applications and services. Corente’s software-defined WAN virtualization platform allows customers to provision and manage global private networks connecting to any site, in a secure, centralized and simple manner. Oracle plans to deliver a complete technology portfolio for cloud deployments with SDN offerings that virtualize both the enterprise data center LAN and the WAN, with the acquisition.
“Oracle customers need networking solutions that span their data centers and global networks,” said Edward Screven, Oracle’s Chief Corporate Architect. “By combining Oracle’s technology portfolio with Corente’s industry leading platform extending software-defined networking to global networks, enterprises will be able to easily and securely deliver applications and cloud services to their globally distributed locations.”
“Corente provides a full lifecycle approach to automating the provisioning and management of service delivery networks,” said Jim Zucco, Corente’s CEO. “Together with Oracle, we expect to deliver software-defined networking offerings that create cost-effective, secure networks, spanning global business ecosystems.” Read More Oracle Buys Corente
