Consolidated Communications Launches SD-WAN

Consolidated Communications has announced the launch of SD-WAN, a software-based network technology that provides simplified management and automation for WAN connections. Consolidated’s SD-WAN solution can streamline IT operations and optimize network performance by prioritizing traffic across a customer’s entire network.

Consolidated’s SD-WAN solution automatically manages bandwidth to ensure high priority applications and critical traffic continually perform at a high-level. It does this by dynamically determining the optimal delivery path for traffic in the WAN. This technology  ensures  network uptime and enhanced performance for customers.

“SD-WAN is an emerging technology that offers businesses reliability and flexibility in connecting their critical branch operations,” said Doug Abolt, vice president of commercial product management at Consolidated Communications. “The agility of our solution provides businesses a simple and fast means to custom configure their SD-WAN and prioritize their critical traffic and applications. Deployment is also easy as our SD-WAN offering allows for various deployment options, including cloud-based, software-based or a hybrid approach.”

Consolidated’s SD-WAN solution is backed by an experienced, customer-centric team. The company’s zero touch operations and simplified maintenance strategy enables IT to spend less time on configuration at each site, reducing the risk of error and saving time. SD-WAN is scalable, and provides increased visibility and control along with simplified WAN operations.

“Consolidated Communications is dedicated to providing our customers an unparalleled experience with advanced solutions that boost business performance,” added Abolt. “By pairing SD-WAN with our complementary portfolio of services, including our data networking and business solutions like Security Services, Cloud Services and our sophisticated Business Voice Solutions, we have the expertise to help customers turn technology into solutions that move their business forward.”
