Network-as-a-service (NaaS) provider Nitel announced the integration of VersaONE, Versa Networks' Universal Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) platform, into its portfolio of network management and security solutions.
Fresh on the heels of it’s recent acquisition of WAN Dynamics, which enhanced its NaaS capabilities, this announcement further advances Nitel’s vision to deliver AI-powered, on-demand security and network management solutions that meet the evolving needs of today’s enterprises.
“We are continuing to add innovative AI-powered network and security management technologies, such as what Versa delivers, to our NaaS solution to ensure we're offering our partners and customers secure, high-performing access regardless of their device, network or location,” said Mike Frane, Nitel’s Chief Product Officer.
"Nitel recognizes the diverse needs of today's businesses, from startups to global enterprises,” Frane said. "Our expanded SD-WAN portfolio with Versa ensures that regardless of size, industry, or demands, there's a solution that fits every organization."
VersaONE provides deeper network control, advanced routing capabilities, and extensive security measures, making it well suited for large organizations or those with complex network requirements.
Combining high-performance software-defined wide area networking (SD-WAN) with security features, VersaONE makes it possible for enterprises to optimize their wide area networks and branch networks to achieve significant business advantages.
The MyNitel portal, which provides clients with an integrated on-demand management experience, unifies the management of supported platforms, giving enterprises detailed visibility and control over their distributed networks and security policies. This simplifies network operations, making it easier for organizations to manage their IT infrastructure efficiently.
Additional benefits of the integration include:
- Customizable Connectivity Solutions: VersaONE’s capabilities enable Nitel to offer solutions that evolve with the specific needs of businesses, providing flexibility and scalability.
- Comprehensive Managed Services: The platform’s integration allows Nitel to deliver managed services that reduce the operational load on internal IT teams, ensuring efficient network management and security.
- Proactive Network Monitoring: Nitel’s solution includes proactive monitoring and management of network performance and security, helping organizations maintain optimal operations.
- 24/7 Expert Support: Nitel’s Managed Services Center (MSC) provides around-the-clock support, offering clients expert guidance and assistance whenever needed.
“We are thrilled to enhance our partnership with Nitel as this collaboration signifies a new chapter of innovation and excellence for both our organizations,” said Hemen Mehta, Vice President of Managed Service Providers at Versa. “We look forward to expanding upon our long-standing, mutually beneficial partnership to not only accelerate Nitel’s NaaS vision by adding our advanced Universal SASE platform, but to work together to deliver AI-powered, on-demand security and network management capabilities.”
