DALLAS, Oct. 11, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Solution
providers in AT&T* Partner Exchange® can now help their
business customers confidently move to the cloud. We're launching
AT&T NetBond®. This provides a high-speed, highly secure
network connection to a wide range of leading cloud service
providers.
"When considering a cloud strategy, businesses seek the security
and performance of a private cloud as well as the economics and
flexibility of a public cloud," said Sue
Galvanek, vice president, AT&T Partner Exchange. "With
AT&T NetBond, they can have the best of both.
"It's a natural addition to the AT&T Virtual Private Network
(VPN) that solution providers are already selling through our
program. This helps our solution providers be more strategic and
drive more value in the integrated technologies they're building.
It also helps strengthen their competitive advantage in the
marketplace," said Galvanek.
AT&T makes it easy to connect to third-party cloud
ecosystems. With NetBond, we fully manage the network and cloud
infrastructure connections. This helps solution providers move
their customers to the cloud in a fast, scalable and highly secure
manner.
Benefits include:
- Ease of Use: Simple portal to quickly manage customer
connectivity to cloud service providers.
- Strengthened Security: Takes traffic off the public
internet, and creates a highly secure connection between the
customer VPN and the cloud.
- Speed: Ability to quickly provision cloud resources
online and scale them on demand.
- Cost Savings: Helps eliminate the need for
long-term customer investment in circuits and equipment.
- Performance: Direct connectivity to cloud ecosystems
results in more consistent performance.
Solution providers who participated in a trial of AT&T
NetBond had positive feedback on the technology.
"The cloud is transforming the way our customers do business,"
said Phil Towle, senior vice
president of sales, Alliant Technologies. "As their trusted
advisor, it's our responsibility to help ensure they aren't
sacrificing performance and security for the agility or cost they
may need from a public cloud. By integrating AT&T NetBond into
our IT infrastructure utility offer, we can create a solution that
lets our customers virtualize their data and business processes
without compromise."
Solution providers can help their customers be more productive
from nearly anywhere, any time. Whether business customers are in
the office or in the field, with AT&T NetBond, they won't
jeopardize network security.
"When it comes to delivering innovation, value and confidence in
the cloud, AT&T nailed it," Towle said.
NetBond joins a line-up of recent program and product updates
made in AT&T Partner Exchange. These additions help solution
providers capitalize on the trends that will position their
businesses for growth. To better equip our solution providers for
success, NetBond will be included in AT&T Partner Exchange's
certification program.
"As businesses continue to move their workloads to the cloud, a
highly secure cloud strategy is essential," said Andy Daudelin, vice president of cloud, AT&T
Business Solutions. "We're bringing cloud connectivity
capabilities, with AT&T NetBond to solution providers in
AT&T Partner Exchange, to help more businesses store their
information more securely wherever they choose to, be it private,
public, or hybrid cloud environments."
