Telecom Lead Europe: Spacenet, a provider of managed
network and data security services, has announced its Connect Series of network
services.
The new series is a tiered set of managed services that
helps clarify and simplify network operations outsourcing. The new series
provides four distinct levels of coverage that are Spacenet ClassicConnect,
Spacenet ManagedConnect, Spacenet AssuredConnect, and Spacenet CompleteConnect.
Due to the increased specialization and sophistication
required to run today’s networks, more and more organizations are discovering
the benefits of outsourced network operations. This in turn has attracted a
variety of new providers, leaving the customer a confusing array of disparate
services, with no clear standard by which to compare apples to apples. That’s
why we developed the Connect Series,” said Glenn Katz, Spacenet’s President and
CEO.
The company said that its ClassicConnect Services are
ideal for multi-site organizations that desire a single point of contact,
circuit provisioning and day-to-day maintenance, and benefit from the
simplicity of a single, verified billing statement.
On the other hand, Spacenet ManagedConnect Services are
designed for customers who prefer a single point of contact for network
rollout, ongoing network management and real-time visibility into network
performance.
Spacenet CompleteConnect Services provide customers with
a complete, full lifecycle network design, implementation, operations and
management and Spacenet AssuredConnect Services offer the security and
reliability of Spacenet’s Virtual Private Network (VPN) offerings.
Already overworked internal IT departments have moved
from a technical support role to one more focused on enabling strategic
business initiatives. Our Connect Series is designed with the network manager’s
real world needs in mind. Essentially, Spacenet and the customer work as a
team, combining our expertise and resources to augment and enhance the
customer’s capabilities to optimize network operations,” said Brad Wise, senior
VP and general manager of Spacenet Managed Network Services.
Spacenet selected by major retailer to offer VSAT services
Last year, Spacenet was selected to continue its
provision of VSAT network services to a major retailer with thousands of
locations in the U.S.
This 5 year extension to 2018, with the 2 years remaining
on previously scheduled services, brings the contract value to $27 million.
With potential store expansions, the contract value could grow to $35 million.
