International. Allied Telesis has had considerable success at the recent Europe NFV awards presentation collecting two first place awards and a second prize for its Secure Enterprise SDN (SES™) security and network management solution. SES was developed by Allied Telesis to allow companies to access the different benefits that SDN promises, but without the complexity and cost of developing their own solutions.
"We are delighted to be recognised by the jury in this way because it confirms what we have been saying for quite some time, as most companies are not structured to implement SDN the path of data centres and service providers can and need something easier to work with and manage, "we are delighted to be recognised by the jury." said Graham Walker, Director of Product Marketing for SES at Allied Telesis.
"What enterprises need is a standard SDN solution that is easy to deploy, co-engineer and support and offers greater network management capabilities along with improved network control, without adding management overhead. That is SES and the NFV Europe awards panel has clearly recognised its potential in the market."
SES provides intelligent network and scheduling management by connecting enterprise applications, such as HR systems, asset management, and network firewalls, to the network infrastructure. Automates network changes as a result of staff movements; It can detect and protect data leaks and detect suspicious behavior and block network connection attempts. This allows the network to respond dynamically to network access changes and security threats, drastically reducing management time and cost.
Our standard solution is tried and tested – no user development is required. It's easy to deploy and customize to meet specific requirements, and is fully compatible with Allied Telesis. Naka, a city located in the Kanto region of Japan, northwest of Tokyo, SES selected in 2016 after a public bidding process to identify new security solutions that would allow safe public records to be maintained.
Naka City Council manages the public computer network for schools and various local government offices and public buildings, providing wired and wireless access for the city's inhabitants. This network allows users to access personal data, such as their tax and social security information. SES was deployed at 39 locations over a 2-week period, and the system was officially inaugurated after a successful week of testing.
With SES, Allied Telesis continues to expand its product and solution capabilities, allowing customers to focus more on their core business rather than managing the gap between their evolving network management needs and the need to always seek greater value from their network investments.
