“By integrating advanced cloud-managed SD-WAN, wired and wireless networking and built-in security, we enable enterprises to centrally manage distributed networks while radically simplifying operations,” he said in a statement. “Combined with our nationwide connectivity, cloud-managed networking capabilities, fully managed services, and end-to-end support, our collaboration with Cisco ensures our clients build resilient, scalable, and future-ready networks.”
