Fusion Broadband embraces Equinix in global expansion of its SD-WAN service

SORRENTO, Victoria, Australia /ScoopCloud/ -- Leading SD-WAN provider, Fusion Broadband, has expanded into Equinix, which will give it a significantly larger global footprint and enable it to offer customers enhanced performance and more advanced connectivity options.

Equinix is a leading digital infrastructure company operating more than 220 data centres in 26 countries on five continents.

As the networking requirements of global businesses become more sophisticated, Fusion Broadband identified a need to support their customers' growth by leveraging Equinix and offering greater WAN connectivity through direct access to a multitude of cloud providers such as AWS, Azure, Google, IBM, Alibaba and Oracle.

Jason Maude, managing director of Fusion Broadband, said the new arrangement with Equinix(R) and Equinix Metal(TM) will allow the company to quickly and easily provide dedicated SD-WAN gateways in more than 50 location points globally.

"With our unique SD-WAN orchestration platform customers are able to deploy SD-WAN sites and gateways in minuets, as well as enable direct connections with the majority of the major cloud providers. They can be self-managed or our team of SD-WAN specialists can manage them for the customer. Dedicated private backbones between regions can also be provisioned for customers adding a greater level of performance and security.

"With Equinix Fabric, we can offer global or national customers faster and more flexible access to all of the cloud services and partners that are on the Platform Equinix. This allows customers to extend the reach of their SD-WAN network not only globally but also with direct access into the world's largest cloud service providers."

As an example, a customer that prefers to have a dedicated environment (as opposed to a shared multi-tenant environment) for its offices in each region may elect to have one or two POPs in each region, which very easily allows a private backbone between POPs to be created that can support speeds from tens of Mbps through to 10-20Gbps.

"By combining the benefits of our POP infrastructure from IBM Cloud and now Equinix, we have a significantly larger global footprint," Maude said.

"Our SD-WAN managed service business already supports over 100 multi-tenant gateways around the world. The addition of Equinix will allow us to further expand this with the ability to deploy dedicated gateways for customers or dedicated private connections between SD-WAN gateways. It can be set up within a matter of hours."

With Equinix's private backbone, Fusion Broadband's international customers can now easily build their own private backbone between their Fusion Broadband SD-WAN gateways - either dedicated or multi-tenant -- where backbone capacity can be scaled up and down as required. These private backbone links offer guaranteed performance and security between gateways.

"The ability to quickly turn on direct links via Equinix or even Megaport's peering fabrics means we can provide customers with a tremendous amount of connection and SD-WAN flexibility," Maude added.

Fusion Broadband wins global 2020 IBM Beacon Award

SORRENTO, Victoria /ScoopCloud/ -- Australia's first SD-WAN provider, Fusion Broadband, has received IBM's global Beacon Award for Outstanding Infrastructure Services Solution. The IBM Beacon Awards recognize IBM Business Partners that deliver exceptional solutions to help drive business value and transform the way clients and industries operate. The auspicious award was presented during the IBM Think digital conference, 5-6 May 2020.

Fusion Broadband was selected as one of only 17 total Beacon Award winners across the IBM portfolio, standing out among dozens of global applicants, and the only Australian company on the winner's list.

Jason Maude, managing director of Fusion Broadband, said the company is honoured and extremely proud to receive such a prestigious global award.

"Winning this Beacon Award from IBM validates our achievements and our dedication to delivering business value through our global, white-label, affordable SD-WAN solutions for our rapidly growing partner network of MSPs, ISPs and telecoms carriers," Maude said.

Fusion Broadband's mature software-defined wide area network (SD-WAN) and Bandwidth aggregation services are sixth generation technology and have been used to solve business connectivity and SD-WAN networking challenges for organisations as diverse as two-site SMEs to two thousand site enterprise deployments in Australia, North America, Asia and Europe.

The multi-tenant technology allows resellers to build their own SD-WAN networks utilising a mix of connectivity types that they know is most appropriate for their client's individual locations. This ultimately provides the network flexibility, bandwidth and uptime that customers now expect.

In addition to working with a global partner network, the company provides services to a range of multi-site end users such as governments, schools, emergency services, large corporates and small businesses.

Outstanding Infrastructure Services Solution Award

"Our next-generation SD-WAN solution is the ultimate platform on which to transform existing legacy or MPLS networks into agile, flexible and scalable networks, suitable for conducting business in the 21st century," said Maude.

"Our unique approach allows users to build sophisticated SD-WAN solutions, integrating public and private cloud core networks, with full multi-tenancy capabilities and licensing options for ISPs and MSPs.

"It was this solution, primarily backed by the IBM Cloud network, that has seen our company exceed all growth targets year on year."

The Beacon Award winners were chosen by a panel of expert judges that consisted of industry experts, IBM executives and industry analysts who recognised how Fusion Broadband's SD-WAN solution sparks client innovation with IBM technology.

Fusion Broadband's win is a testament not only to its commitment to innovation, but also to their partners' and end users' satisfaction and business growth.

iTrinegy to Exhibit at SD-WAN Expo Florida 2020

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. /ScoopCloud/ -- iTrinegy announced today that it will be showcasing its Software-Defined Test Networks at SD-WAN Expo being held February 11 - 14, 2020 at the Greater Fort Lauderdale/ Broward County Convention Center in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. SD-WAN Expo is the leading forum for enterprise executives, service providers, and technology vendors to connect, learn and discuss how the market is growing and how to make the most of the SD-WAN opportunity.

The event includes a robust exhibit floor, industry perspectives, case studies, unique panels and presentations, special events, networking opportunities and much more.

Meet iTrinegy at SD-WAN Expo at booth #830 to learn more about iTrinegy's strategy for enabling both SD-WAN vendors and purchasing Enterprises to achieve realistic SD-WAN Proof-of-Concept and Proof-of-Value testing: https://itrinegy.com/solution-by-task/sd-wan-testing/.

"All organizations will have a concern when introducing new networks into the production environment, namely: Will they be able to deliver the anticipated benefits of SD-WAN without compromising existing application performance and service delivery? Vendors share this concern as they are often asked to demonstrate the effectiveness of their solution to the enterprises," explains iTrinegy Senior Technical Specialist, Frank Puranik. "Whether they are enterprises or vendors what they need is some way to conduct realistic pre-deployment testing of how applications will behave in the new network environment before actually investing in the proposed new infrastructure."

"This is where iTrinegy comes in. Our Software Defined Test Network (SD-TN) products enable both enterprises and vendors to recreate network topologies that accurately mimic the proposed real-world networks, like the Internet, MPLS and Cellular and their associated conditions including bandwidth, latency, loss and jitter."

Frank continues, "For the enterprise, this ability to see if the proposed SD-WAN solution works effectively in even the most trying of circumstances should provide the reassurance that they are making a sound investment. At the same time, a Software Defined Test Network enables SD-WAN vendors to demonstrate their products operating in a realistic equivalent of the customer's network, providing direct proof that it will work as expected when implemented."

Visitors to the iTrinegy booth will be able to discover how its Software Defined Test Network products enable customers and vendors to validate SD-WAN in a controllable environment that accurately mimics real-world WAN circuits, so that realistic proof-of-concept tests can be performed and repeated under both normal and challenging network conditions.

You can hear more from Frank by attending The 20 Questions...Go panel session on Friday 14 February 2020, where he, together with fellow panelists, will provide invaluable insight into what you need to do in the early phases of the SD-WAN research/deployment process, including realistic proof-of-concept testing in order to successfully select and implement the right SD-WAN solution for your organization.
