For the first time, Masergy’s managed SD-WAN services are available through a distribution channel, helping partners easily expand their services to tap into previously unreachable markets.\n\nThe team is trailblazing SD-WAN for the reseller community with a combined offering that uniquely converges networking, security, and services, making it ideal for those without service operations, technical expertise, or SD-WAN certifications. Distributed by Ingram micro, the solution unites the power of Fortinet Secure SD-WAN solutions with 24/7 network and security management services from Masergy. Fortinet Secure SD-WAN is the only solution that integrates SD-WAN, next-generation firewall, advanced routing, and Zero Trust Network Access proxy functions, giving partners more options to address the growing demand for remote work connectivity and security.\n\nTapping into the Masergy Guardian PortfolioTM, resellers and MSPs can sell fully managed SD-WAN services (provided entirely by Masergy) and co-managed services (where the reseller or MSP is responsible for Tier 1 and Tier 2 client support). Benefits include:\n\n\nRecurring Revenue with More Sales Potential: In addition to hardware margins and monthly revenue, add-ons for remote network access and 24/7 threat detection and response services generate upside potential.\n\n\nService Expansion without Up-Front Investment: Fully managed services function as a way for partners to expand their support model without overhead.\n\n\nClient Loyalty and Lifetime Value: Shared services enable partners to protect their existing client relationships as they gain more share of wallet.\n\n\nLow Barriers to Entry: Technical certifications are not required to sell the SD-WAN solution, and zero-touch implementation capabilities make it easy to install.\n\n\nIDC views SD-WAN as one of the fastest-growing segments of the network infrastructure market today because of the significant benefits it offers organizations.\n\n“...
