Both offerings use the company’s IQ Network, which connects to more than 850 data centres and over 27,000 on net buildings globally.
Colt said its customers can now benefit from features such as application-based traffic steering, real-time service changes via an interactive customer portal, virtual routing and firewall services enabled via network function virtualisation (NFV).
“These two launches demonstrate that Colt is continuing to invest in advanced SDN and NFV capabilities on a global scale,” said Peter Coppens, vice president of Colt’s product portfolio.
Solutions are delivered via universal customer-premises equipment, which customers can install themselves. Connection is via Colt’s fibre, other carriers’ internet connections and also via 3G or 4G wireless. Customers can prioritise traffic using advanced routing techniques, said the company.
Coppens said: “Through Colt’s SD WAN and On Demand services, organisations can now take full control over their agile, high bandwidth network in the way that best suits their business needs.”
He said that such technology “truly allows organisations to undertake the digital transformations required to thrive in the business environment of today”.
Colt’s launched its On Demand service in Europe in 2017 and Japan earlier this year. The company said that businesses in Singapore can now “benefit from the network flexibility and agility accessible via the feature-rich self-service portal”.
The service allows businesses to take full control of their networks, allowing them to scale their bandwidth up and down in near real-time, bypassing legacy service delivery processes and lead times.
