NTT SDWAN Trailer

1 NTT SD-WAN Service Portfolio NTT Communications, (NTT Com’s), SD-WAN service offers a new approach for deploying enterprise-grade Wide Area Networks (WANs) giving the ability to combine multiple access line connections with application-based policy forwarding and security functions. This offers higher network service availability and increased network performance. The following are the key features of NTT Com’s SD-WAN service:

1.1 NETWORK CONNECTIVITY NTT Com offers a broad and fully comprehensive selection of network access types and connectivity in over 190 countries which are designed into a solution as the core component of SD-WAN. Based on the client’s specific requirements and overall business needs, NTT Com can mix and match multiple types of network technologies such as MPLS, Ethernet, Internet, Broadband, Wireless, and 4G/LTE — and deliver the most optimal connectivity solution for each customer office. Alternatively, customers can provide their own ISP connections for NTT Com to integrate into a complete SD-WAN solution. Furthermore, NTT Com delivers scalable VPN gateway services such as Secure Socket Layer (SSL) VPN Service to enable enterprises to connect to their business partners and enable a mobile workforce.

1.2 ACTIVE-ACTIVE PATH CONTROL Active-Active Path Control enables enterprises to distribute and manage network traffic, including local ISP path optimization, traffic prioritization, and performance-based routing. Leveraging advanced routing optimization capabilities enables intelligent load-balancing of traffic over the best performing path.

1.3 APPLICATION ACCELERATION NTT Com SD-WAN Application Acceleration service provides: Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) optimization, caching and compression, and application-specific optimization to boost the end-to-end performance of enterprise applications traversing the Enterprise WAN. This application Acceleration service enables better performance of the network for the end user and a more effective working environment.

1.4 SECURE CONNECTIVITY NTT Com’s SD-WAN service addresses two main concerns around WAN security: protecting the network from external threats and protecting the user’s access to public cloud and internet services. As part of the SD-WAN service portfolio, NTT Com’s Secure Web Gateway offers customers distributed internet security via NTT Com Local Cloud Centers (LCCs) located globally and/or via uCPE on-premises:
– Firewall service
– Intrusion protection service
– URL filtering service
– Malware detection reporting

1.5 REAL-TIME STREAMING NETWORK ANALYTICS NTT Com’s application visibility reporting & analytics tool, was developed in-house and enables real-time in-depth views of network and application performance with features that include:
-Real-time, interactive dashboards that enable enterprises to keep an instant pulse on the health of a network and applications — to continuously monitor traffic flows, enabling the identification of and response to business impacting events.
– Multi-dimensional visualization of application performance, network security, utilization, and end-user experience — allowing organizations to analyze issues at the site level, application layer, or individual user level.
– Replay functionality that significantly improves the enterprise IT/Network team’s capabilities to perform capacity planning, security audits and to pinpoint application performance and network issues that are occurring now — or trace, identify and isolate issues that occurred in the past.
