Product Focus: SD-WAN Differentiators

In today’s hyper-connected world, where wide-area networking is a fundamental requirement for efficient business operation, ensuring optimum application performance is paramount.

For medium to large businesses, achieving reliable and efficient networking, and rapid scalability, while maintaining strong security, poses unique challenges. It demands a robust and agile solution that can adapt to evolving needs.

Traditional wide area networks (WANs) often struggle to meet these demands due to complex configurations, high costs, limited flexibility and performance bottlenecks. This is where Software-Defined Wide Area Networking (SD-WAN) emerges as a game-changer, revolutionizing the way you can build, maintain, and evolve your WAN solution. Learn More about SD-WAN Differentiators.

Channel Integration Means Harmony

Summit Broadband recognizes that its indirect channel partners are essential contributors to the company’s success. They are an extension of the company’s sales force, and their success is linked to the company’s success. To ensure that the indirect channel partners are fully integrated into the company’s operations, Summit Broadband provides them with the necessary resources and support to succeed. Summit Broadband set out to disrupt the way the channel does business. One such approach gaining traction is the creation of channel-integrated or harmony – a seamless collaboration between a company’s direct and indirect sales channels. While this integration promises substantial benefits, it is not without its challenges. Learn More about Channel Integration.
