Cloud-native SD-WAN solutions provider Adaptiv Networks announced the successful integration of its SD-WAN infrastructure into Sunoco Communication and Installation’s Calgary data center. Sunco – which is an independent business telecom and managed IT systems integrator – also launched new business networking and network security products that are powered by Adaptiv.
As a result, Sunco noted that its CX is now better optimized for performance, reduced cost and diminished complexity.
The partnership builds on a July 2023 agreement, and will see Sunco fully integrate Adaptiv’s SD-WAN technology, resulting in two new products:
- Sunco Always On, a SD-WAN solution to ensure businesses experience zero network downtime. It smartly manages multiple internet connections – including wired and LTE – to provide seamless connectivity. Always On optimizes performance for cloud applications, offering advanced network monitoring, and works harmoniously with existing customer firewall situations to maintain robust security without additional complexity.
- Sunco Always Secure, which leverages SASE to extend the capabilities of Always On, providing network security. Always Secure is a cloud-based service that eliminates the need for managing separate firewalls, in turn reducing cost and complexity.
An essential benefit of this integration is the establishment of an Adaptiv SD-WAN gateway within Sunco’s Calgary data center. This strategic move ensures minimal latency for customers in the Alberta region, providing them with fast, reliable, and secure network services. Sunco Always On solutions are available worldwide by using Adaptiv’s global network of SD-WAN gateways.
“With the launch of Sunco Always On and Sunco Always Secure, we are redefining what network reliability and security mean for businesses,” said Sunco president, Sean Schoenberger. “Our partnership with Adaptiv Networks has empowered us to make these advanced solutions accessible across Canada while maintaining exceptional service and support in Western Canada.”
“Sunco focuses on providing solutions that help businesses be efficient and successful,” said Bernard Breton, the CEO of Adaptiv Networks. “We are delighted to partner with Sunco on that mission by enabling their new, cutting-edge connectivity and security technology solutions to reduce the cost and complexity of business communications.”
