The solution is called Cloud SD-WAN and is a software and hardware complex for centralized management of corporate communication networks in geographically distributed points: offices, stores, communication salons, bank branches, factories, warehouses, and so on. According to CloudMTS, SD-WAN technology is of interest to thousands of large, medium and even small enterprises throughout Russia: industrial holdings, federal and regional retail chains, online stores, energy companies and banks.

A distinctive feature of the solution is ease of use. Any employee can install a CPE (Customer Premises Equipment) device in a branch of the company: it is enough to turn the device on the network and open an activation link that will come by e-mail. The network administrator performs the necessary settings remotely through a single control panel. In the solution interface, it can check whether primary and backup communication channels are available, distribute traffic, manage routing, set security settings, connect and disconnect other departments.

CloudMTS is built on the domestic BI.ZONE Secure SD-WAN platform, Caswell hardware devices. MTS became the first MSP-partner of BI.ZONE (Managed Services Partner, a provider of managed services). This means that the company can solve all client tasks related to planning the network infrastructure, deploying, developing and maintaining the vendor's software, including providing routers and LTE modules in the form of a service.

High-speed secure communication channels are an important component of any large business. Foreign SD-WAN suppliers left Russia, which created risks for most companies to lose the performance and security of the corporate network. The CloudMTS provider came to the aid of customers: the company placed customer networks in the protected MTS circuit. The partnership with BI.ZONE is the next step in the program to develop alternative solutions for Russian companies. Internal testing showed BI.ZONE compatibility with Caswell equipment. CloudMTS has already conducted several pilot projects, and the company can confirm that with this product the quality of communication and data transfer rate will remain at the same level. commented Mikhail Soloviev, Chief Product Officer, CloudMTS.

BI.ZONE Secure SD-WAN presents customers with an up-to-date software-defined approach to building a corporate data network in the company. At the same time, the solution supports a high level of security, remains simple and convenient for users. The development of BI.ZONE is ideal for a company with a geographically distributed network infrastructure. For MTS, the key requirement, in addition to supporting the main SD-WAN capabilities, was the ability to work in a service model, in which several operator customers can share one control system. The company was able to quickly help MTS find a full-fledged replacement for foreign vendors, said BI.ZONE Director of Products and Technology Muslim Mejlumov.
