In a move that is designed to change how small and medium enterprises (SMEs) approach network reliability, 100Zero and Adaptiv Networks have announced a new strategic relationship. The collaboration will see 100Zero bundling Adaptiv Networks’ advanced SD-WAN capabilities with its own unique unlimited virtual SIM (vSIM) offering, creating a powerful, resilient connectivity solution designed to ensure business-critical applications are always accessible.
This partnership arrives at a crucial time, as businesses increasingly rely on cloud services, communications platforms, and other digital tools that demand constant and reliable internet access. Downtime can translate to lost productivity, missed opportunities, and even reputational damage – in many ways, it’s not unlike the need for strong cybersecurity. The combined solution from 100Zero and Adaptiv Networks directly addresses these challenges by delivering exceptional network flexibility, performance, and security.
What This Means for MSPs
For Managed Service Providers, this partnership presents a compelling opportunity to enhance their service offerings and provide greater value to their existing clients and engage new prospects with an enhanced value proposition. By offering a bundled solution that integrates Adaptiv Networks’ robust SD-WAN technology with 100Zero’s innovative vSIM capabilities, MSPs can now promise and deliver truly unmatched network reliability.
MSPs can now offer a differentiated, high-value service that goes beyond traditional connectivity solutions, as the combination of SD-WAN and vSIM technology provides a more comprehensive and resilient network infrastructure for their clients.
“We are excited to partner with 100Zero to bring more innovation to the MSP ecosystem,” said Bernard Breton, CEO of Adaptiv Networks. “Our SD-WAN solutions are designed to simplify network management and improve application performance, reliability, and security. Bundling our SD-WAN with 100Zero’s virtual SIM enables 100Zero to offer an innovative, yet easy to deploy, platform that provides businesses unbreakable access to mission-critical digital workloads.”
By providing a more reliable and higher-performing network, MSPs can improve customer satisfaction and retention through a premium service that can also lead to a higher spend per customer.
What It Means for End Customers
Of course, the real test is what the partnership delivers to end customers, which, in this case includes addressing key pain points that can disrupt business operations.
- Business continuity: The combination of SD-WAN and vSIM technology ensures that businesses have continuous internet access, minimizing disruptions and maximizing productivity. Adaptiv Networks’ SD-WAN intelligently manages multiple network connections, while 100Zero’s vSIM provides a seamless cellular backup, ensuring business continuity, even if primary connections fail.
- Optimized performance: Critical business applications will perform better thanks to intelligent traffic management provided by the SD-WAN solution. SD-WAN optimizes application performance by intelligently routing traffic across the best available network links. This ensures critical applications like VoIP and cloud-based software run smoothly, enhancing user experience and productivity.
- Enhanced flexibility: The solution offers greater flexibility in how businesses connect to the internet, accommodating various deployment scenarios and remote workforces.
- Strengthened security posture: Adaptiv Networks’ solutions include built-in security features, which, combined with the inherent redundancy of the virtual SIM, create a more secure and resilient network environment for businesses.
- Peace of mind: Knowing that their network infrastructure is highly reliable and secure allows business owners and employees – including overburdened IT staff – to focus on their core activities without worrying about connectivity issues.
The promise of “unbreakable access” to mission-critical workloads is a powerful selling point for businesses. MSPs can offer this enhanced solution to their current clients, providing them with greater value and strengthening their relationships. At the same time, they can build a competitive edge offering a unique and comprehensive solution.
“By offering Adaptiv’s proven SD-WAN platform alongside our virtual SIM solution, we are creating a next-generation service that helps MSPs deliver unmatched network resilience for employees working at the office and from anywhere,” said Aaron Babcock, CEO at 100Zero.
With this bundled offering, 100Zero and Adaptiv Networks position MSPs well to address critical pain points for many SMEs, with highly reliable and flexible network solutions designed to meet the needs of today’s digital businesses. The demand for robust and resilient connectivity is only going to increase as businesses become more reliant on digital services and MSPs that embrace this integrated offering will be well-positioned to retain existing clients, attract new ones and expand their footprints – all things that point to growth opportunities.
