ngena becomes new Bechtle partner

• Bechtle expands portfolio with fully managed SD-WAN-as-a-Service
• Network solution leverages Cisco’s Viptela SD-WAN technology
• Focus on customers with hybrid network strategies

Bechtle has joined forces with the Next Generation Enterprise Network Alliance (ngena), enabling the IT company to expand its networking portfolio to include a fully managed SD-WAN-as-a-Service. The solution makes it possible to efficiently and quickly build highly-standardised business networks based on Cisco’s SD-WAN technology. 

Dr Marcus Hacke, ngena founder and Managing Director: “We are incredibly proud that Bechtle AG has decided to partner with us and we are looking forward to adding SD-WAN-as-a-Service in the Bechtle portfolio. With this service, enterprise customers will have the opportunity to make modifications and updates at the click of a button, meaning that users can optimise their network architecture, reduce costs and seamlessly monitor their networks.”

Networks can be quickly modernised with SD-WAN, meaning that users benefit from reliability, manageability and security. SD-WAN supports a mixture of on-premise and cloud solutions, particularly in hybrid IT strategies.

“When we advise our clients on future-proof solutions for their digital transformation, customer networks are always a central aspect. Enterprises have great demands for connectivity and capacity, but need an easy and efficient method for using and operating the network. We are delighted to be able to add a fully managed SD-WAN ngena solution, based on the technology of our long-standing partner, Cisco, to our portfolio”, says Michael Guschlbauer, COO, IT Systems Integration & Managed Services, Bechtle AG.
