DENVER, June 2 /PRNewswire/ -- Virtela, the global network solutions company, today announced it was named a NXTcomm Eos Awards finalist for Excellence in Network Design and Service. Virtela's Accelerated WAN Service earned this distinction in the Wireless/Mobile/Network Services category. The Eos Awards recognize companies that have developed the best new technologies and network services or demonstrated ongoing excellence in the industry. Virtela will exhibit at NXTcomm's sister show, InfoComm, held June 16-19 in Las Vegas.
"This year's Eos winners demonstrated the best and most promising advancements to the network-enabled voice, video and data ecosystem," said Wayne Crawford, NXTcomm executive director. "We congratulate Virtela for its leadership, innovation and role in driving our industry forward."
"We're honored to be recognized by NXTcomm as a top innovator in the network services space," said Virtela CEO Steve King. "Our managed WAN acceleration service takes networked application performance to new levels and it's just one example of our continued drive to transform the industry with an on-demand network delivery model we're calling Network as a Service."
Virtela's Accelerated WAN Service is the first managed WAN acceleration and optimization services capable of spanning multi-carrier environments globally. The offering overcomes distance limitations by improving application and protocol performance over the WAN by a factor of two to three times on average, or as much as a factor of 30 times, depending on the application. In short, the service allows Virtela to deploy the fastest network of its kind. Key benefits to enterprises beyond improved application performance include lower bandwidth costs and the ability to centralize applications and operations while maximizing IT infrastructure.
With the Accelerated WAN Service Virtela demonstrates its commitment to setting an innovative new standard for delivering superior agility and global connectivity with Network as a Service (NaaS). Applying the on-demand model made popular with Software as a Service (SaaS) to managed network and security services, Virtela's model eliminates the need for extensive IT support, frees up resources, and scales to meet the needs of enterprises of any size.
