Silver Peak and StarHub Team Up, Enabling Enterprises to Accelerate Digitalisation and Simplify Multi-site Network Management with SD-WAN

SINGAPORE & SANTA CLARA, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Silver Peak^®, the global SD-WAN (Software-defined Wide Area Network) leader, delivering the transformational promise of the cloud with a self-driving wide area network™, today announced a new partnership with homegrown Singapore info-communications service provider StarHub to meet the connectivity needs of enterprises amid the increasingly distributed nature of business operations.

With the acceleration of digitalization, enterprises increasingly seek solutions to streamline the management of their broadband wide area networks (WANs) across multiple offices, data centers and customer touchpoints, while keeping network performance and IT costs in check.

In response to customers’ needs, StarHub is now a one-stop service provider partner to enterprise customers seeking an innovative digital network management solution. Delivering the Silver Peak Unity EdgeConnect™ SD-WAN edge platform, StarHub offers an end-to-end smart solution to help customers gain centralised control and full visibility over their entire network operations across distributed locations.

In addition, enterprises will be able to aggregate their various wired and wireless data connectivity services, allowing for easy network management through a single unified dashboard. Business policies can be remotely applied across the enterprise quickly and consistently, ensuring high levels of service reliability and security as well as reducing human error risk and IT costs. With automation, minimal human intervention is needed.

As part of a comprehensive integrated approach, customers can look forward to StarHub’s sales and after-sales support. For added convenience and operational efficiency, they will also gain one-stop access to StarHub’s extensive telco-grade global connectivity, advanced integrated security services, and the unique flexibility of mixing-and-matching broadband, 4G and Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) access technologies in line with their requirements.

“As a leading ICT provider focused on meeting customers’ needs, StarHub is pleased to team up with Silver Peak to help enterprises across Asia digitally transform and future-proof a key backbone of their business operations – their IT infrastructure. We are confident that the unified dashboard will empower our enterprise customers to dynamically optimize bandwidth for load sharing, prioritize traffic for time-sensitive applications and implement security policies enterprise-wide,” said Charlie Chan, Chief of Enterprise Business Group, StarHub. “The business climate is evolving quickly, and we are here to help customers stay agile, optimize cost and efficiencies by adopting simplified yet robust digital ICT and networking solutions.”
