Edgewater Networks Extends Trade Up to SD-WAN Program to Competitive Products


Due to an overwhelming response to the recently announced Trade Up to SD-WAN program, Edgewater Networks, the market leader in Network Edge Orchestration, today announced that the program will be expanded to include trade-in incentives for competitive edge devices.

With Trade Up to SD-WAN, companies using competitive products from AudioCodes, ADTRAN, Cisco (News - Alert), and other vendors can exchange those devices for SD-WAN capable Intelligent Edges from Edgewater. For a limited time, the Intelligent Edges will be free with a qualified trade in. With the Trade Up to SD-WAN programs, partners will enjoy the benefits of a unified edge solution, offering both security and service assurance along SD-WAN traffic shaping and VoIP aware bandwidth optimization.

Trade Up to SD-WAN leverages Edgewater Networks' award winning Cloud2Edge Complete service to provide partners with:

  • High margin SD-WAN revenue
  • Free EdgeMarc Intelligent Edges while the program is active
  • Zero Touch Provisioning for easy, fast installation
  • Instant access to the EdgeView Service Control Center for management and control of Unified Communications (News - Alert) and SD-WAN Services

"We recognized the benefits of Network Edge Orchestration immediately," said Ray Napoletano, Vice President of Sales at Reinvent Telecom, an Edgewater Networks Cloud2Edge Universal Partner. "Our Resellers Partners are able to use the latest generation of EdgeMarc Intelligent Edges to simplify their Hosted PBX deployments now and, in the future, generate new, high margin SD-WAN revenue in their customer base."

Edgewater Networks' SD-WAN product is built for the Small and Medium Business (SMB) market delivering application level prioritization, survivability and the company's patented Stateful SIP Transfer functionality. SD-WAN is controlled and managed through the EdgeView Service Control Center, the industry's leading UC Analytics solution.

"With Trade Up to SD-WAN, we can quickly turn up a highly differentiated SD-WAN service in our installed base of competitive products," said Chris Ready, VP Professional Services at Everest Communications Group, a New York City-based provider of IP Voice Services and Cloud2Edge Universal Partner. "Using Network Edge Orchestration, we can drive more revenue and ncrease customer satisfaction."



"We believe there are over 1.8 million businesses that can take advantage of our Trade Up program," said Russ Johnson, SVP of Worldwide Sales for Edgewater Networks. "Edgewater Networks is the only vendor in the market that can offer a complete edge solution, including security, service assurance capabilities and market-leading SD-WAN functionality."

Edgewater Networks' partners can use Trade Up to SD-WAN to upgrade any AudioCodes, ADTRAN (News - Alert), Cisco, Ingate or other competitive product to an SD-WAN capable Intelligent Edge including the EdgeMarc 2900 series, the EdgeMarc 4806 and 4808 Multi-Service Gateways and the EdgeMarc 7000 series. To qualify for the program, partners must register competitive devices and enter into a Cloud2Edge SD-WAN Service Agreement.
