Open
Systems announced today it is partnering with global interconnection
and data center company Equinix
to progress digital transformations and improve end-user experiences on
a global scale by accelerating application performance and enhancing
security. Together, Open Systems and Equinix deliver secure, reliable
application performance via the Open Systems secure SD-WAN technology
supported locally by Equinix’s expert engineers, developers and
architects.
Open Systems secure SD-WAN reduces network risks, simplifies compliance
and eliminates the complexities of managing a global IT network.
Integrated, multi-layered network security and protections are
seamlessly built into every edge device. The global SD-WAN can be
monitored from a single cloud-based interface and is backed 24/7/365 by
Open Systems network and security operations and L3 DevOps engineers.
The Equinix Cloud Exchange Fabric™ directly, securely and dynamically
connects the Open Systems secure SD-WAN across Platform Equinix®, the
global platform for digital business that enables deployment of digital
infrastructure anywhere it’s needed. With Platform Equinix, the Open
Systems secure SD-WAN is now easily available and managed across more
than 30 locations around the world, providing the scalability, agility
and connectivity today’s digital businesses require.
“Our customers are moving to the cloud at an unprecedented rate, and the
combination of the Equinix Cloud Exchange Fabric and the Open Systems
secure SD-WAN makes it easier, faster and simpler to deliver
applications in the cloud to users across multiple countries,” said Oren
Yehudai, Senior Channel Sales Director, EMEA at Equinix. “We are very
excited to be working with Open Systems to deliver this powerful
solution on a global scale.”
“Open Systems has spent decades building the most robust, reliable and
secure global network infrastructure, and the combination of Open
Systems and Equinix provides a single worldwide solution that our
customers can rely on to roll out applications powered by our leading
secure SD-WAN solution,” said Matt Krieg, Chief Revenue Officer, Open
Systems. “This new offering dramatically reduces complexity, increases
cybersecurity, improves application performance and eliminates barriers
to global expansion.”
