Viptela, the Software-Defined WAN company, in partnership with Inbox Business Technologies, a leading provider of digital services to businesses in Pakistan, will deploy software-defined wide area networking (SD-WAN) infrastructures for Pakistan Telecommunication Company Limited (PTCL).
According to Viptela, the SD-WAN platform enables Inbox to “mix and match” private and public IP connections such as MPLS, wireless LTE, broadband and Ethernet to meet each customer’s specific application requirements based on geographic location, topology, bandwidth and application service availability needs. It delivers secure end-to-end network virtualization in the WAN, while providing enterprise grade routing, security, centralized policy and orchestration capabilities.
Viptela said its SD-WAN platform provides Inbox the following capabilities for implementing agile, business-class WANs:
- Centralized management for increased agility: Can deploy changes in service policies in minutes using centralized management and zero-touch capabilities.
- Application performance and service availability: Offers unprecedented visibility into application and infrastructure performance to enable informed decisions on resource utilization and application tuning.
- Strong security: Provides authentication for all devices and encrypts every packet in the network for added protection while supporting network segmentation.
- Service-chaining: Enables add-on L4 – L7 services including WAN optimization, firewalls and data leak prevention.
