SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Viptela, the Software-Defined WAN (SD-WAN) company, today announced that CRN, a brand of The Channel Company, named Viptela to its esteemed 2017 Data Center 100 list. Each year, CRN recognizes technology suppliers that excel at powering, supporting and protecting today’s complex and demanding data centers.
“The migration to the Cloud, Big Data and IoT has pushed traditional data center networks to their limits in terms of performance, security and scalability. The Viptela SD-WAN platform enables solution providers to address these challenges for customers, using an overlay that does not require ripping and replacing existing networks,” said Anthony D'Angelo, Vice President of Worldwide Channel Sales for Viptela. “We are honored to be recognized as a CRN Data Center 100 company for helping the channel implement software-defined data center architectures that can be easily and centrally managed.”
CRN editors select companies for the Data Center 100 list on the basis of multiple criteria, including each company's overall impact on the market, its influence on the channel as a whole, and the types of technology and services it makes available to its partners. The Data Center 100 helps solution providers locate best-in-class vendors providing data center infrastructure, data center management tools, software-defined data center technology and data center services. The Data Center 100 list will be featured in the February 2017 issue of CRN and online at www.crn.com/datacenter100.
“The construction and operation of a reliable data center requires wide-ranging expertise and resources across a number of key technologies,” said Robert Faletra, CEO of The Channel Company. “Our annual Data Center 100 list identifies the top vendors in these areas, helping solution providers find proven data center experts who can deliver the necessary depth and breadth of materials, services and expert guidance.”
Viptela enables enterprises to deploy an SD-WAN that supports any combination of connections (MPLS, Broadband, Wireless 3G/4G LTE, etc.) and unifies provisioning and management across cloud and data center resources for hundreds or even thousands of sites. Fortune 500 enterprises and major carriers including Verizon and Singtel are using Viptela to deliver managed SD-WAN services.
