In an exclusive interview today with Michael Hakkert, Vice President Corporate Marketing at Silver Peak and Mohammad Vakili, Vice President, Software Defined Services, NSC we learned why the companies came together to offer an enhanced service, better than what each could provide on their own.

NSC is a leading global professional services and managed resourcing provider of information and communication technology, They operate in over 180 countries with a network of over 4,500 partners.

We believe this relationship is really 1+1 = 3.

According to Michael, “We have over 1,000 customers and many of them were “do it yourself,” yet very successful. NSC Global can deal with the whole gamut of customer requirements on a global basis. They can build, manage or provide a managed SD-WAN service which is turnkey.”

The new Silver Peak-based managed SD-WAN services are available immediately to NSC enterprise and service provider clients and partners in 180 countries around the world. Enterprise clients benefit from unrivaled service agility with turnkey managed SD-WAN services powered by the business-driven EdgeConnect platform deployed as a single VNF running on multi-purpose universal CPE devices deployed at sites across their networks. Service providers can now offer metered white label managed SD-WAN services to enterprise clients with the same deployment model agility and flexibility.

And for enterprise clients, this means they can quickly transition to SD-WAN and accelerate cloud and digital transformation initiatives to achieve greater business agility and productivity. We’re excited to partner with Silver Peak to bring the power of EdgeConnect to our clients around the world.”

Mohammad explained enterprise and service provider customers were asking for this relationship and they can leverage their NOCs in Mumbai, Capetown and Ohio to support customers while also having a single pane of glass allowing them to constantly monitor the customer’s network.

NSC’s all-inclusive managed SD-WAN services encompass pre-sales, advisory, procurement, staging, provisioning 24×7 monitoring, reporting, break-fix and expedited moves, adds and changes.

“Our partnership with NSC brings together a powerful combination of flexible, tailored IT services with the industry’s only business-driven SD-WAN edge platform, effectively raising the bar on service agility and flexibility for our mutual enterprise and service provider customers around the world,” said Michael O’Brien, vice president of partner sales for Silver Peak. “NSC can now accelerate post-sale SD-WAN deployments with its partners, deliver turnkey white-label managed SD-WAN services to its service provider clients and offer new and existing enterprise clients turnkey managed SD-WAN services.
