128 Technology announced a partnership with Snet Systems to offer a highly reliable and secure managed SD-WAN service, called SWAN, powered by 128 Technology’s Session Smart™ Router. This partnership enables Snet Systems to offer a comprehensive network infrastructure service that helps enterprise customers drive business success quickly in complex IT environments. Snet Systems is the latest managed service provider to join the 128 Technology Managed Service Solution Partner Program, which enables service providers to create new revenue streams by leveraging 128 Technology’s 128T Networking Platform. Snet Systems has two decades of industry experience consulting, designing, establishing and maintaining network infrastructure across platforms such as unified communications (UC), data centers, cloud services, Internet of Things (IoT) and mobile networks. Conventional, hardware-based SD-WAN offerings rely on tunneling protocols like IPSEC, which add complexity and inefficiency to networks and cause application performance to break down. 128 Technology’s 128T Networking Platform is tunnel-free, meaning that network traffic is more easily routed to better pathways when there is more network congestion. 128 Technology’s agile WAN connectivity is built for today’s business applications and services and includes enhanced performance and security compared to competing hardware-based approaches to SD-WAN. Key benefits of Snet System’s partnership with 128 Technology include better connectivity for mission-critical applications, enhanced security based on a “Zero-Trust” model, reduced operations cost by eliminating firewalls and VPNs and by reducing cloud rental costs, reasonable service pricing and better network functionality for edge locations.
