– Gina Narcisi
Lumen Technologies has enhanced its Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) portfolio for partners selling network adjacent services.
The company introduced Network Edge Orchestrator (NEO) to its ArrowSphere platform, an integrated global platform available in over 100 countries to deliver products, services, and solutions to its partners.
NEO provides partners with the flexibility to quickly build, orchestrate, and manage network adjacent services such as firewalls, network security, and application layer services.
These services are designed to provide partners with the ability to create business-critical services.
Additionally, NEO also allows partners to quickly and cost-effectively extend services to the edge of a customer’s network.
As a result, partners are able to quickly customize, deploy, and support end-to-end solutions for their customers.
“As customers face increasing safety, security, and compliance demands, it is vital that our partners’ marketing edge services from Lumen that enable customer’s whole edge network to be integrated more quickly, securely, and effortlessly,” said Constance Ward, executive vice president of partner sales and marketing at Lumen Technologies. “We are confident that this solution will provide our partners not only with a platform to more easily control costs, but also to continue to deliver highly differentiated value to our customers in an ever-evolving digital world.”
NEO is the latest addition to Lumen’s SASE portfolio, which also includes Lumen’s Distributed Cloud Network and Security (DCNS) platform.
DCNS enables customers to securely connect to their applications in the cloud, enabling customers to protect their critical data.
Lumen Technologies aims to provide its partners with the ability to provide cutting-edge edge solutions to their customers.
By enhancing its SASE portfolio with NEO, Lumen is expanding its ability to help partners meet the scaling needs of their customers.
