Tata Communications has strengthened variants of its IZO internet WAN by offering seamless data transfer for global enterprises.

With predictable and dependable network services offering access to more than 150 geographies, IZO internet WAN provides internet services and consistent network experiences over various service options including broadband internet.

It now enables seamless data transfer from branch offices to data centres, from branch offices to clouds, and across multiple clouds for enterprises. Enterprises can have a simple and agile management over their global and regional networks.

The variants have been released for enterprises across North America, Europe and Asia-Pacific markets.

The product is suitable for enterprises introducing cloud services to their existing IT and networking architecture and for businesses that are looking to extend their global reach cost-effectively to new markets. It caters to all industries such as manufacturing, IT, ITeS, services, retail and BFSI. Launched in 2014, it is claimed to be the world’s first predictable and dependable internet.

“We closely listened to our global enterprise customers and, for them, guaranteed uptime is business critical,” said Song Toh, vice president at Tata Communications. “Hence, our objective has always been to deliver highly available quality internet. We have expanded our global reach, added service variants from dedicated internet access to broadband to meet customers’ different business needs, and ensured cross border regulatory compliances so enterprises can have predictable, dependable internet to run their business. We have simplified operation and management, and enhanced the experience for our customers across geographies.”

Øystein Eide, vice president at Norway-based DNV, added: “Tata Communications IZO internet WAN has enabled us to focus on our core business, while improving our people’s efficiency and effectiveness. In addition, higher availability is enhancing our experience. In today’s cloud-first world, where enterprises are moving workloads to clouds, market offerings like dedicated internet or broadband, the lack of guaranteed performance, uptime and short restoration becomes a critical hindrance for any enterprise. And Tata Communications has helped address this vital need at a very opportune time for our business.”

Gartner predicts that growing cloud deployments of business-critical applications will drive 30% of global enterprises to use enhanced internet services by 2023, up from less than one per cent in 2020.

“Enterprises increasingly are entrusting priority business traffic to internet connections,” said Brian Washburn, research director at Omdia. “To support these businesses, the enterprise internet experience must be reliable, predictable and seamless. Tata Communications IZO internet WAN aims to provide consistent high performance between broadband internet endpoints and cloud services, as a widely available and dependable service option.”
