Airtel launched connectivity solutions for enterprises based on Cisco Software Defined Wide Area Networking (SD-WAN) technology.

The solution will enable businesses, large and small, to accelerate digital transformation for their customers and allow organizations to deliver applications to users with greater visibility, security and performance. It allows enterprises to design, deploy, configure, migrate, and manage their WAN infrastructure while rapidly adapting to the real-time demands of their cloud computing, mobility, and digitization initiatives.

Cisco SD-WAN securely connects any user to any application to enable the best user experiences and help deliver business agility and secure access to applications across multiple clouds. The new Airtel managed solution leverages the experience and expertise of Airtel and Cisco in building highly secure next-generation networks that offer cost-effective, on-demand connectivity to customers.
