Silver Peak has formalised a new partnership agreement with Axians UK, the VINCI Energies brand dedicated to ICT.
Axians UK will join the Silver Peak partner programme and immediately offer the Unity EdgeConnect business-driven SD-WAN edge platform to its current and prospective enterprise customers.
With EdgeConnect, Axians’ customers will benefit from the outfit’s unified WAN edge platform. EdgeConnect is centrally managed and uniquely unifies core network functions, SD-WAN, WAN optimisation, routing and security, at the branch into a business-driven SD-WAN edge.
Sales director for the UK and Ireland at Silver Peak Allan Paton said:
“As geographically distributed enterprises seek to accelerate cloud-centric business initiatives, they quickly realise that their existing WAN is not architected for the cloud. With Axians’ networking expertise and proven delivery track record for professional installation, deployment and technical consulting services, we are already providing customers with the flexibility to move beyond router-centric WAN architectures to a centrally managed business-first SD-WAN edge. The partnership with Axians UK is the next step in accelerating the international deployment of SD-WAN.”
Spencer Lea, sales director at Axians UK said: “With our deep knowledge of the SD-WAN market, it made sense to combine our strengths and talents with Silver Peak to take customers beyond basic SD-WAN products toward a business-first networking model and ultimately a self-driving wide area network,” said “We have already had some great success with the implementation and project delivery of global and local SD-WAN deployments. Working alongside Silver Peak will continue to bring next-generation network solutions to market that will enable our customers to accelerate cloud initiatives while dramatically simplifying IT operations.”
