Launches new offering in Europe, empowering partners to quickly and
easily launch business-class managed Wi-Fi services
MUNICH--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jun. 17, 2015--
ADTRAN®,
Inc. (NASDAQ:ADTN) today announced the launch of ADTRAN ProCloud
Plus managed Wi-Fi service in Europe. The expanded cloud-managed
networking services portfolio provides service providers, Value
Added Resellers (VARs) and managed service providers (MSPs) with secure,
cloud-managed Wi-Fi, hosted in geographically diverse data centres
within Europe. The expanded offering builds upon ADTRAN’s ProCloud
partner managed service by giving partners the option of offloading
Wi-Fi management activities to a team of ADTRAN experts based in the
company’s European Network Operations Centre.
The demand for cloud-based services is experiencing exponential growth
in Europe and other markets as more businesses look to improve
operational efficiencies, reduce CAPEX and devote more resources to
achieving corporate goals. Globally, IDC
estimates more than 65% of enterprise IT organisations will commit
to hybrid cloud technologies before 2016.
ADTRAN empowers its partners to address this growing demand for
cloud-based services with the industry’s most flexible portfolio of
cloud-managed service options. The ADTRAN ProCloud service model enables
service providers and resellers to customise, deliver and manage their
own services, while the ProCloud Plus model offloads 24x7 management
activities to ADTRAN. Partners can seamlessly migrate between each model
if and when changes are needed.
“ADTRAN ProCloud service has expanded our opportunities to become a
managed service provider for Wi-Fi because deployments are faster and
easier, and customers are assured of their cloud data jurisdiction. The
introduction of the ADTRAN ProCloud Plus level of service allows us to
select the best option for our business and customer needs. Should those
needs change, our customers can migrate to a different service model
without penalty or loss—and that capability adds unlimited value to the
network,” said Andy Stevens, Managing Director, Nouveau Solutions Ltd.
“ADTRAN continues to build an innovative solution and service portfolio
to address unique needs throughout this region,” said Dr. Eduard
Scheiterer, senior vice president and managing director of international
markets at ADTRAN. “ADTRAN ProCloud Plus service is the first of many
new developments in this initiative. We are offering service providers
and VARs alike the ability to offload management activities, gain
effortless flexibility in accommodating changing deployment scenarios
and sharpen their competitive edge.”
