Virtela Receives 2010 Communications Solutions Product of the Year Award
Cloud-Based Application Acceleration Service Powered by
Virtela Enterprise Services Cloud (ESC) Recognized for Outstanding
Innovation
DENVER, August 11, 2011 - Virtela, the world's largest independent managed
network, security and cloud services company, today announced that
TMC, a global integrated media company, has named Virtela's
Cloud-based Application Acceleration Service as a recipient of
the 2010 Communications Solutions Product of the Year Award.
Leveraging the Virtela Enterprise
Services Cloud (ESC) - the only cloud platform purpose-built
for enterprise networking, security and mobility - the Cloud-based
Application Acceleration Service enables companies to gain all the
benefits of WAN optimization without the high cost and complexity
of dedicated hardware appliances at each branch office. Via
Virtela's 50 Local Cloud Centers (LCCs) strategically located
around the world, the service can be activated instantly in more
than 190 countries at a fraction of the cost of traditional
solutions.
The service speeds applications performance up to 25 times and
is backed by the world's first application response time guarantee:
If customers do not experience faster response times, they do not
pay - and Virtela will pay them 250% of their service charge.
"This recognition from TMC further reinforces Virtela's
commitment to serve the needs of our customers through the creation
and application of innovative technologies and services from our
global cloud footprint," said Ron Haigh, Virtela's vice president
of cloud architecture and services. "The Virtela team is rewarded
by seeing the real-world results of these innovations with our
customers and partners, and will continue to deliver services that
drive down their costs and increase business performance."
This recognition follows other recent industry awards won by
Virtela including the
GTB Innovation Award for Business Service Innovation and
Frost and Sullivan Product Leadership Award, both for
Cloud-based Application Acceleration, and
The American Business Award for Customer Service Department of the
Year.
Beyond cloud-based application acceleration, Virtela has
leveraged its ESC platform to create and deliver a number of
innovative cloud services, including a cloud-based Mobile Device Management
Service which proactively manages mobility policies,
applications, security and costs.
