XO Comms Offers Intelligent WAN

HERNDON, Va. -- As organizations face the challenges of managing the growth of virtualization, mobility, and big data, and enabling cloud-centric connectivity and services across networks, IT and network managers are finding it increasingly difficult to support business strategies as well as the demands of new technologies with traditional network designs. To help organizations build networks that are simple, secure and scalable to support multiple services, XO Communications today announced the launch of the XO Intelligent WAN which provides the network performance, security and visibility IT and network managers need in order to stay ahead of daily challenges and enhance their ability to provide a superior technology experience to end users. The XO Intelligent WAN solution offers a comprehensive and integrated approach to meeting the demands placed on networks today through tomorrow by combining intelligent networking, integrated security, and end-to-end visibility of the performance of applications across the network. According to a recent survey by Forrester1 sponsored by Juniper Networks, 86% of businesses said that they have not been able to provision new services or support business demands because the network was not up to the task. As demands on networks to support multiple services and technologies such as big data, cloud computing, mobility, virtualization, and social networking have increased, traditional network designs have not been able to keep pace with the performance, security, and scalability requirements necessary to deliver a superior experience for end users.
