Through the collaboration with ngena, StarHub is connected to a single global network through a common platform that integrates all alliance partners’ networks, and this enables the telco to offer end-to-end managed SD-Wan services to quickly serve enterprises with geographically distributed operations.
“Networking capabilities are crucial to the success of enterprises in the digital era, keeping business operations running and enabling employees to be productive,” said Dr Chong Yoke Sin, chief of enterprise business group, StarHub. “We are very pleased that with our partnership with ngena, our customers can benefit from StarHub SD-WAN, a global network connectivity service that is secure, stable, scalable and easy to use while they depend on StarHub for local support. As a result, they can realise real gains in increased productivity and lower IT cost as well as enjoy the ease of dealing with one service provider. We are also excited to enable our alliance partners to offer reliable, high-speed, and secure data connectivity services for their customers with Singapore-based operations.”
Thanks to the software driven service controls, enterprises can avoid investment in expensive routing hardware, enable faster network deployment at overseas office sites and dynamically manage networking resources to adapt to changing business needs.
Adoption of managed services is rising as businesses go digital, and this means they require more help in maintaining their IT infrastructure. Telcos can capture value from offering fully managed services because of their advantages in network ownership and long-term customer relationships.
“It’s a real privilege to have StarHub as partner of our global telecommunications alliance in Singapore, offering enterprise-grade SD-WAN services to their business customers in Asia,” added Alessandro Adriani, Managing Director at ngena. “In addition, all ngena alliance partners get access to StarHub’s modern local network, thus being able to deliver world-class VPN services to Singapore-based businesses. We are really impressed by the agility and expertise of the StarHub team and we are going to see many new customers in Singapore using our joint SD-WAN solution.”
