GCI, a communications and digital services provider (DSP) in the Pacific Northwest, announced the launch of CloudFlex® SD-WAN, an easily configurable, cloud-based networking solution that empowers businesses across the U.S. to spend less time managing complex networking technology and more time focusing on their core business.
CloudFlex® Software-Defined Wide Area Networking (SD-WAN) capabilities move management of business networks to the cloud, eliminating many of the costs associated with hardware-based networking and enabling significantly greater network flexibility. Through CloudFlex® SD-WAN, businesses can remove geographic boundaries while improving network scalability, performance and control.
CloudFlex® leverages GCI's decades of networking experience and robust cloud-based infrastructure to equip businesses with personalized solutions that directly solve their specific connectivity challenges.
"With CloudFlex, organizations can leverage world-class, cloud-based managed service solutions that will make their businesses more nimble and efficient," said Martin Cary, senior vice president, GCI Business. "As organizations in nearly every sector shift to cloud-based networking and digital services, GCI is committed to delivering technologies that create new capabilities, fine-tune operations and shrink IT overhead, all while providing expertise and around-the-clock customer service that is second-to-none."
Additional capabilities to be integrated as part of the CloudFlex® suite include: managed Wi-Fi; data recovery and backup; advanced security features; network performance monitoring; managed voice and video conferencing; and scalable cloud solutions.
CloudFlex® SD-WAN frees businesses from cumbersome server racks and replaces that infrastructure with minimal equipment. CloudFlex® equips businesses with the GCI Hub, a digital dashboard that allows businesses to monitor many GCI services and network performance, to receive support and to maximize operational efficiencies. With CloudFlex®, businesses can expand and contract services almost instantly.
GCI managed technologies are leveraged across the globe and ensure businesses get all the performance and none of the pressure, with fully-supported services at a predictable cost.
