Rely on virtualized networking services to help reduce time, labor and costs associated with buying, installing, configuring and maintaining network equipment.
The digital enterprise, with its focus on greater collaboration with customers and partners and its greater reliance on cloud services, is creating high demand for network resources. Organizations have experienced an explosion of mobile devices.
Lower costs and increase agility with virtualized network capabilities across the enterprise — from data centers to campus networks.
Application portfolios have expanded dramatically to serve these devices. Geographically distributed workforces and expanded global connectivity are adding to the demand.
To manage these changes, DXC Technology is helping organizations shift from physical devices and fixed bandwidths to virtual solutions and services.
Reap the benefits of virtualization
DXC Managed Software-Defined Network (SDN) Services can provide lower cost and more agile virtualized network capabilities across the enterprise — from data centers to campus networks. DXC addresses three key enterprise networks:
- WAN – the backbone of the enterprise, connecting all sites
- The edge – the boundary between the enterprise WAN and campus LANs
- Data center – the networks at the heart of the enterprise
These services can help your organization meet growing expectations from a growing segment of millennials who want to work from virtually any place on any device — and connect to productivity applications in public, private and hybrid cloud environments.
DXC can help you achieve the cost and service delivery benefits of modernizing while maximizing the life span of your legacy infrastructure.
DXC will help you maintain the highest security standards, with an eye toward regulatory requirements. We understand that business outcomes matter, and having a solid, well-managed network infrastructure is key to your success. Whether you’re
transforming to next-generation infrastructure or adding new functionality to your IT estate, DXC can help your enterprise make a seamless digital transformation through these Managed SDN Services:
WAN services
WANs are the links that tie enterprises to their remote locations, clients, cloud service providers and data centers. WANs must provide highly secure services driven by SLAs while providing more agile, cost-effective connectivity. DXC offers two software-defined
WAN solutions targeted at different connectivity issues: cloud connectivity and WAN costs:
––AT&T NetBond® for Cloud is an option added to an AT&T MPLS circuit that provides connectivity to more than 20 different cloud service providers, including AWS and Azure. With NetBond for Cloud, the cloud service providers appear as nodes on your existing MPLS network. NetBond for Cloud greatly simplifies the process of connecting while providing the security and reliability of MPLS. NetBond for Cloud is available globally and provides simple, highly secure, cost-effective support for hybrid cloud environments.
––DXC Software-Defined WAN (SD-WAN), powered by AT&T, applies software-defined networking concepts to WAN connections. Our SD-WAN solution automatically determines the most effective way to route traffic to and from campus and data center sites. DXC SD-WAN service helps lower operational and capital costs, ensuring lower total cost of ownership, greater business agility and responsiveness to keep pace with IT innovations.
The edge
The boundary between the enterprise WAN and campus LANs must ensure high reliability and security. DXC and AT&T are working together to deliver next-generation technology to the edge, including:
––AT&T FlexWareSM, which combines SDN and network function virtualization (NFV) technologies to simplify network infrastructure while potentially lowering capital investments. By deploying software-based virtual appliances instead of hardware, your organization can reduce time, labor and costs associated with buying, installing, configuring and maintaining separate physical and proprietary network equipment.
Data center
DXC Software-Defined Data Center LAN (SD-DC LAN) service enables organizations to expand their networks without being locked into vendors. Our SD-DC LAN, based on VMware’s NSX and Arista switching technology, helps improve agility and security in today’s hybrid computing environments.
