Sprint has partnered with VeloCloud to launch Software-Defined Wide Area Network (SD-WAN) services. Both companies have been working to support customer trials for the SD-WAN service during 4Q16, with a global launch planned for early 2017.

According to Sprint, the migration of voice, data, and video on the same all-IP network, accelerating adoption of cloud services, and an ever-growing mobile workforce are driving enterprises to consider WAN solutions that meet their increasing need for flexibility, performance and security. 

Security has been integrated into the Sprint SD-WAN solution, providing powerful, real-time protection against malware, viruses, and cyber threats for all sites and endpoints, including the mobile workforce. Flexible management tiers enable customers to select the level of support they need, including a Sprint fully managed solution. 

Sprint SD-WAN services complement Sprint’s comprehensive suite of services that include Global MPLS, Dedicated Internet Access, Managed VoIP, Global SIP Trunking, UCaaS, Cloud Connectivity, Managed Network and Security Solutions, and Workplace-as-a-Service.

We are excited to work with VeloCloud to support additional customer proof of concepts and build upon our existing relationship.
