Deutsche Telekom announced the launch of a new network services offer for corporate customers, based on its international alliance Ngena. The Next Generation Enterprise Network Alliance (Ngena) brings together network operators from around the world, and DT said it is the first to use the shared platform to offer a dedicated connectivity service for business customers.
All Ngena partners share their networks and connect them to a global, highly standardized network.m DT's subsidiary T-Systems is the first alliance partner to launch a network offering based on the Ngena platform. Dubbed 'Smart SD-WAN powered by ngena', it is available in the variants XS, S or M – depending on whether the network access is configured singly or redundantly, and whether it is provided via the internet, Ethernet or a combination of the two. The new offer is designed to supplement T-Systems' classic IP VPN offering IntraSelect, which can be tailored to specific customer requirements.
The new network product also supports other services in addition to secure worldwide networking of company sites as VPN. These include a secure regional gateway from the corporate network to the internet using firewalls, or the intelligent management of network traffic depending on priority class. The offering is initially geared to businesses based in Germany, and sales in other countries will gradually follow, along with additional access variants and services.
