- 100% digital, software defined
networking (SDN) offer in 75 countries
Businesses are looking for smarter and more flexible networks to
support their digital transformation initiatives, stimulated by the
trend for cloud, mobile, big data and the internet of things (IoT).
The network needs to evolve to a Network as a Service (NaaS) mode
to answer these needs with efficiency, flexibility and
security.
As a first step in its NaaS strategy, Orange Business Services
has launched Easy Go Network, which provides fully-virtualized
network functions (VNF) using SDN technology. Extensively tested in
a year-long trial with customers, the service will be available in
75 countries by the end of 2016.
Network as a Service designed for branch offices all over the
worldEasy Go Network allows enterprises to instantly provision
virtual network functions (VNF) for branch offices with full
digital self-service ordering, customer care and reporting
functions via a user-friendly portal. The service includes a
plug-and-play router on site, eliminating truck rolls for more
flexibility and rapid deployment. Network functions will now be
available in minutes at any site.
This virtual approach allows CIOs to worry less about the
network and focus more on end-user experience. Easy Go Network
enables them to introduce new digital services faster in a more
automated way and deliver a consistent end-user experience on a
global basis. Offered under a month to-month contract, the service
is truly on-demand and fully flexible with no upfront investment
and no minimum revenue commitment.
Typical customers for Easy Go Network include multinational
retailers that need to quickly and affordably open new sites, such
as concessions or pop-up stores. Easy Go Network allows them to add
additional sites or optional virtualized services in less than five
minutes. Enterprises gain full visibility over network usage and
one-click security policy enforcement for all sites. And their
employees are connected to their tools and ready to engage with
end-customers.
At launch, Orange is offering application awareness running on a
virtual, adaptive enterprise firewall based on Fortinet Security
Fabric technology. The collaboration with Fortinet enables Easy Go
Network to offer comprehensive, virtualized security functions,
including unified application control, intrusion prevention, web
content filtering, spyware prevention and malware defense.
Additional virtualized functions from selected vendors,
including application optimization and WiFi management, are slated
for launch in 2017.
“Easy Go Network is an evolution of our enhanced hybrid network
strategy. It is designed to help businesses anticipate and address
their digital needs fast and within budget. We are using an
open-standards based approach to develop our SDN and NFV strategy,
and we are planning to launch a universal CPE for larger sites next
year. Our ultimate goal is an adaptive network, which we will bring
to our customers within the next three years,” said Pierre-Louis
Biaggi, vice president, Connectivity Business Unit at Orange
Business Services.
