PacketFabric, a provider of on-demand connectivity for the enterprise cloud core, has signed a strategic alliance agreement with Unitas Global. The partnership bolsters network bandwidth capacity, extends SDN to the edge and adds new cloud access points, with plans for extensive platform integration.
The alliance between the two Digital Alpha Advisors portfolio companies offers significant expansion opportunities for both. Together PacketFabric and Unitas Global create an edge-to-everywhere global software-defined network solution that helps enterprises fulfill their connectivity needs.
The companies plan to expand and overlay PoPs to the other’s locations and gain expanded market reach. Network interconnections at more than 100 shared PoPs globally will drive further platform integration, simplifying on-demand connectivity to cloud infrastructures and optimizing data movement.
Unitas Global will point demand from enterprises at PacketFabric’s middle mile and cloud connectivity services via its trademarked automated design and pricing platform, Unitas Nexus.
In addition, PacketFabric will expand customer connectivity options through its on-demand portal with Unitas Reach connectivity services including last-mile access to more than 50 million enterprise locations and high-performance internet service.
