To stay competitive, distributed organizations are looking to SD-WAN to overcome today’s branch network challenges of expensive bandwidth, infrastructure complexity, and rigid architectures.

SD-WAN alleviates top networking concerns

SD-WAN addresses our clients’ top networking issues as it provides a centralized network that optimizes cloud computing, improves security, and increases visibility in a single solution. SD-WAN also lowers bandwidth costs.

Backed up by superior engineering, CBTS SD-WAN adopts a transformational approach to simplify branch office networking, assure optimal application performance, and overcome existing network barriers.

How SD-WAN overcomes your network barriers

Our purpose-built enterprise solution allows businesses to:

• Address performance issues where latency, distributed data sources and applications, and broad access to systems across locations, devices, and geographies may all come into play.
• Deliver high performance for the next-generation of business applications.
• Innovate and transform business outcomes with enhanced real-time operations and business agility.
• Eliminate capEx, the traditional capital investment in IT infrastructure.
• Leave behind the complexity and high costs associated with building, sourcing and supporting high performance and leading-edge technology.
• Pay less for an agile, high-performance network.

Why SD-WAN as a managed service is the solution

The simplicity and cost advantages of SD-WAN make it an excellent candidate for cloud-based fully managed services, even at the enterprise level.

When you partner with a managed SD-WAN provider, you hand off a substantial volume of networking duties to CBTS experts who design, implement, manage, and monitor your remote-office networking 24x7x365.

Managed SD-WAN from CBTS helps enterprises move beyond MPLS connectivity to overcome network barriers. Our experts have decades of experience with data centers, networking technologies, and enterprise-level IT challenges. With every enterprise embracing big data, machine learning, and advanced analytics to survive disruptive threats, the fully managed option can give your company a computing edge.

Pairing our SD-WAN solution with our expert support makes for a white-glove solution package that is tailored to meet your business needs.

The adoption of cloud technologies, such as SD-WAN, requires a comprehensive strategy along with the trust and reassurance of a proven IT partner.

Look for a partner with all of these capabilities:

• Ability to assess your existing network and develop a customized technology roadmap that addresses both your organization’s current needs and its future business goals.
• Support for both wired and wireless technologies as well as public and private transport.
• Cloud management that enables remote provisioning and global management from a single central location.
• Intelligent load balancing that uses all available bandwidth in the most efficient way.
• 24/7 monitoring that detects bad links and steers traffic for optimal network and application performance. Reports on application performance and links for SLA adherence.
• The ability to build sophisticated business rules and routing policies.
• The ability to let clients shift between managing all or just some infrastructure depending on current needs.
• Broadly certified engineers who can  perform routine implementation and monitoring, and future proof a network by designing a cloud migration strategy that maximizes efficiency of existing hardware on the way to the cloud. Our certified engineers will also suggest new technologies based on the latest certifications.
• A portfolio of providers that lets the partner choose the right vendor-neutral mix of solutions for a customer’s specific business needs.
• A utility pricing model based on a flat monthly fee for easy budgeting and planning.

Susan Artz, Enterprise Solution Architect

As a part of the sales process, CBTS brings in the SAs, like Susan. SAs discover, create, design and build long-term solutions before transitioning them over to operations.

Network Engineer IV

Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) and CBTS have partnered to bring customers an experience like no other. The two organizations supply a thorough understanding of business value via design engineers and subject matter experts through regular briefing events at HPE Executive Briefing Centers (EBCs).

Participants receive the maximum value for the time they invest in attending by engaging with HPE technology solutions through in-person demonstrations and discussions.

Executive Briefing Center events address your pain points

1. Analyzing all the available information

Customers complete a profile so that speakers and discussion leaders can address specific questions and interests. This unique, customer-centric approach provides a comprehensive benefit to each visitor.

Executive Briefing Center events are beneficial for both new and existing customers. First, they provide immediate access to the HPE product portfolio. Second, these events feature product managers, engineers, and subject matter experts who work with these solutions on a daily basis.

2. Deciding which technology is best for the business

There are many different technology solutions available for businesses, and choosing the right one can be daunting.

Technology such as servers, storage, services, and networking are always changing and evolving. Most customers want a solution that will provide a measurable return on investment.

These trained professionals:

• Provide information on current HPE products.
• Provide an exclusive first look at the HPE technology roadmap.
• Discuss how CBTS and HPE together can drive improved business outcomes while accelerating time to value.

Through Executive Briefing Center events, the HPE EBC team covers the complete HPE solution portfolio in just two days with beneficial insight into product features, benefits, and use cases.

Attendees leave better informed and empowered to make the best technology platform decisions for their business.

Executive Briefing Center events provide hands-on experience

Sometimes the best way to learn is by doing.

At Executive Briefing Center events, customers work side by side with HPE engineers and subject matter experts in an interactive forum that combines engineering design with specific customer application. Customers receive the exact information they want and need through this direct communication and interaction. In addition, comprehensive presentations and demonstrations highlight product and service applications and capabilities.

These Executive Briefing Center events are held throughout the year.
