Hybrid WAN FEATURED ARTICLE

The face of enterprise networking is no longer rigid hardware. Software is proudly carrying the flag and playing the revelry in digital revolution, and in networking one of the prominent examples of this is SD-WAN. By saving cost and improving performance and reliability, SD-WAN is a darling in analysts’ eyes, as exponential growth is expected in this arena over the coming years. As projections mount, SD-WAN providers are jockeying for position, with partners serving as a powerful tool in this endeavor.

Making moves in recent months, Ecessa (News - Alert) named its fifth new major partnership since August this week, announcing Telecom Brokers as the newest member of its partner channel.   

“Ecessa is excited to add Telecom Brokers to our list of outstanding Master Agent Partners,” said Eric Brooker, Vice President of Sales and Marketing at Ecessa. “Telecom Brokers’ outstanding customer service and state-of-the-art tools complement Ecessa’s leading SD-WAN product offerings; we look forward to the partnership.”

Over the past 15 years, Ecessa has been neck deep in network management solutions and its SD-WAN offering is built on this foundation. It is able to craft its solution to meet the needs of users by leveraging its wide range of products. Unsure about SD-WAN? It offers a “crawl-walk-run” approach where companies can begin by dipping a toe in the water and, if pleased, upgrades and expansions are as easy as a software download.

“Telecom Brokers seeks new partners like Ecessa,” said Nancy Ridge (News - Alert), Executive Vice President. “Both of our companies take a personalized and strategic approach to solving business problems with custom technology solutions. The fit is natural, and Ecessa’s extensive experience with SD-WAN and the partner channels will allow us to offer a wider range of services to our customers.”

As a technology, SD-WAN is at a tipping point. And, each provider is putting forth the college try to stay ahead of the curve and capture market share. Only time will tell how the market shakes out; but it sure is entertaining to see the buildup.
