Reduce Costs
UCaaS takes the model of Unified Communications and modernizes it. Instead of paying for your UC system as a capital expense (CapEx), it now becomes an operating expense (OpEx) that can flex to meet your business’s needs both today and tomorrow.
Simplify
Reduce the complexity of your current systems and automate more tasks.
Move to the Cloud
Migrate all – or most – data to a secure cloud service. Shorten the delivery time and integration of new applications.
Secure Your Information
With up-to-the-minute threat protection, SDx systems are always changing to keep your data safe.
Control Access
Set security, filtering, and access levels automatically and accurately.
Centralize Monitoring
Manage all software-defined systems at once, including your organization’s computers, wireless-access points, and the IOT (Internet of Things).

The Ultimate Guide to Software Defined Wide Area Networking (SD WAN)
SD WAN is a Wide Area Network defined by its software rather than the infrastructure it requires, delivering the benefit of a stable and secure corporate computer network to multiple branches.
The World of Software Defined
SDI
Software Defined Infrastructure
In the past, IT infrastructure meant hardware: cables, routers, interfaces, and on-premise hard drives. Besides representing a huge CapEx, they require constant monitoring and repair.
Though you’ll likely never be rid of all your hardware, Software Defined Infrastructure (SDI) dramatically improves your ability to update and upgrade what you already have.
Plus, the hardware can then become part of your overall IT service, allowing you to grow and change with your needs and the demands of your industry.
Your entire infrastructure, reimagined as SDI, will become more agile, more secure, and less prone to human error than ever before. A professionally managed SDI, delivered as a service, changes everything.
SDN
Software Defined Networking
Traditionally, each workstation in an office had to be plugged into a Command-Line Interface (CLI) in order to access the company’s network. This was slow work, done a single device at a time.
Then, a senior-level engineer would manually configure each device to make sure it had the proper access. Since each user’s needs are different, the configuration process was done one user at a time and was always prone to human error.
Software Defined Networking (SDN) automates that work. Everything done on the network can happen more quickly and efficiently.

SDDC
Software Defined Data Center
Data Centers for enterprise-scale businesses require a lot of space. In addition to all of the racks of physical hard drives, Data Centers need specialized HVAC (which drive up the cost of your utilities) and automated redundancies.
Because of the complexity of managing a data center, many enterprise-scale businesses are moving some of their operations to the cloud, diversifying by working within Software Defined Data Centers (SDDC).
Moving to SDDC means you can receive all of the elements of a data center infrastructure as a service. It means you can incorporate on-premise, public, and private cloud services together, so you don’t have to store everything in one place.
An SDDC gives you up-to-the-minute security. It allows you to increase your hard-drive space quickly and economically. And it takes away the hassle of maintaining complex physical systems, allowing them to operate and automate everything through a simple desktop manager.
Part of your SDDC infrastructure will be SDS, or Software Defined Storage. Your data no longer needs to be defined by the physical hard drives on your campus. Now, your storage is delivered as a cloud-based service, kept safe with up-to-the-minute security updates and built-in redundancy, all managed and monitored automatically.
