Orange has partnered with US-based ThousandEyes, the Internet
and cloud intelligence company, to deliver real time, end-to-end
visibility on both its enterprise networks and the Open Transit
Internet (OTI).
The ThousandEyes platform, combined with Orange expertise around
data analytics, provides businesses and carriers with improved
digital experiences delivered across the Internet to Cloud service
providers (CSPs), Internet service providers (ISPs) and Content
providers (CPs). Orange Business Services, the global enterprise
division of the Orange Group, intends to power this partnership to
provide its customers with leading-edge enterprise-grade managed
Internet, multi-cloud connectivity and SD-WAN visibility
services.
A key Orange Business Services objective is to accompany its
customers around the world in their cloud and SD-WAN transformation
journeys, and the ThousandEyes platform is a critical enabler to
optimize the migration phases. It allows Orange to monitor quality
of experience at both the application and network level, and speed
up troubleshooting in case of Internet-related performance issues.
Customers will be able to gain insight into the internal and
external dependencies that impact the end-user experience.
Orange has already deployed the ThousandEyes platform
successfully with customers. This includes a German industrial
manufacturer, who used it to determine the best cloud connectivity
solution in China. During a performance assessment of Office 365
and Microsoft Azure connectivity, Orange compared direct
connectivity via its Orange Business Services Next-Gen Hub to an
alternative solution over Internet. The results were clear:
Next-Gen Hub provided up to three times more bandwidth and with
more reliability, thereby delivering the best experience for the
customer’s users in China.
"With ThousandEyes intelligence and the Orange Flexible SD-WAN
solution, businesses can see, understand and manage digital
experience over the public Internet like it's their own private
network and embrace Internet and Cloud with confidence,” said Craig
Vario, Vice President, Global Channel Sales at ThousandEyes.
“As multi-cloud and software defined networking become key
deployment models for applications and services, understanding the
Internet as a delivery path is crucial. With the ThousandEyes
platform, Orange Business Services will give its customers the
visibility they need to deliver a superior digital experience to
users via both the Internet and multi-cloud. We strongly believe
that the ThousandEyes platform will be a critical enabler of our
Flexible SD-WAN value proposition to our global clients,” adds
Anne-Marie Thiollet, Vice President, Connectivity, Orange Business
Services.
Thanks to the ThousandEyes platform, Orange is now able to
continuously monitor the performance of certified ISPs and their
connection to the Orange Next-Gen Hubs, OTI points-of-presence all
around the world, and all major cloud service providers and content
providers. This allows Orange to deliver on the promise of the
Internet of Enterprises and OTI by providing performance
measurements over Internet in 60 countries and will continue
expanding coverage in the coming months.
