ProCloud service portfolio increases IT organization’s ability to
improve business efficiency and deliver best-in-class user experience
HUNTSVILLE, Ala.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Mar. 16, 2015--
ADTRAN®,
Inc., (NASDAQ:ADTN), today announced the addition of cloud-managed
switches to its ProCloudSM services portfolio. By integrating
a cloud-based management platform with best-in-class services, ADTRAN
provides businesses with a single pane of glass to optimize the
management of wired and wireless networks. The enhanced ProCloud service
portfolio enables companies of all sizes to rapidly expand their network
to meet changing business needs.
Corporate networks are under tremendous strain as employee expectations
for an “always on,” work-from-anywhere environment continues to grow. IT
organizations need to easily integrate their wired and wireless networks
in order to provide the level of service demanded across the
organization. As a result, network performance, cost and scalability are
starting to define business success, whether it is reducing operational
costs, maximizing efficiency through mobility or improving customer
satisfaction. Imagine a network disruption that stops credit card
transactions for a retail customer; a mobile workforce suddenly
disconnected from their systems; or a classroom of students unable to
complete testing due to a wireless interruption. All of these scenarios
underscore the need to monitor network health and react quickly to
changes.
The addition of ADTRAN NetVanta Ethernet switches into the ProCloud
portfolio provides IT departments with a complete view of both their
wired and wireless LANs to ensure a high quality of experience. The
platform provides a holistic, vendor agnostic visibility that provides
real-time and historical information. The solution also simplifies
ongoing administration through customized reporting and tiered access,
and improves security through centralized configuration and firmware
management. In addition to these management tools, organizations can
also leverage ADTRAN’s technical expertise to further maximize IT
resources for their network.
Another benefit is the flexibility of an elastic, pay-as-you-grow
infrastructure model with the ADTRAN ProCloud portfolio. The service is
the industry’s only solution that mitigates against a stranded
investment. Organizations have the option of choosing the level of
service that meets their needs today or migrating network management to
an internal IT organization in the future, all while maximizing their
NetVanta switch investment. This provides companies the freedom to
optimize the service to their changing business needs without penalty or
loss of service.
“Businesses today are facing increasingly complex demands on both their
wired and wireless networks. The network management features we have
incorporated into the ADTRAN ProCloud portfolio reflect our commitment
to providing best-in-class user experiences for our customers,” said
Todd Lattanzi, director of product management, ADTRAN Enterprise
Networks Division. “The ADTRAN ProCloud solution is the only service on
the market today that addresses the challenge of limited IT resources,
while also providing more insight into network health and
administration. We are helping companies transform the way they manage
their networks with a solution that drives greater business value from
networks of any size or complexity.”
The addition of cloud-managed switches within ADTRAN’s ProCloud service
is now available and supports all ADTRAN
NetVanta switches, starting at less than $100 for a year of service.
