Comcast Business has agreed to buy Texas-based Masergy, a specialist in software-defined networking (SDN) and cloud platforms for global enterprises, for an undisclosed amount. Comcast Business said the acquisition will help it push services to large and mid-size companies, particularly US-based organisations with multi-site global operations. The addition of Masergy services will provide more efficiency and security to customers managing international operations.
Masergy enables secure application performance across the network and the cloud with Managed SD-WAN, Unified Communications as a Service (UCaaS), Call Center as a Service (CCaaS) and Managed Security solutions. The company serves over 1,400 customers in nearly 100 countries.
Under the agreement, the company’s employees and executive team will all join Comcast Business, including CEO and chairman Chris MacFarland.
