Our portfolio provides internet connectivity, cloud acceleration, network optimization, SD-WAN, network security managed services, and managed professional and field services for network solutions. With unmatched global reach, Expereo powers enterprise and government sites in over 190 countries. We help customers improve productivity, enhancing the Cloud with agile, flexible, and optimized Internet performance.

In this series we have covered Global Internet Connectivity for the enterprise, and ensuring the Internet is tamed for the business environment. But the journey doesn’t end there. It’s one thing to have a modern, fast, secure network, but it’s something else to have real-time insights into the performance, and total visibility of your network from a single pane.

Network planning, strategy and budgeting matched with a fast response to day-to-day challenges rely on having the essential information to hand. If you have total visibility in one place, you can manage your entire network much more efficiently. Not only does this help keep away the headache of potential security threats and poor network performance, but it’s essential when it comes to managing customer and user expectations.

However - achieving “visibility” is easier said than done and can feel vague and hard to reach.

Join us in this session as we discuss:

-  What visibility into your network actually looks like at a practical level
-  Why visibility down to site level really enhances your planning and decision making
-  Hear from Cisco - one of our customers, about how expereo.one has delivered unprecedented insight and agility in decision making.
-  And more!

What you see, you understand. Total network visibility in the palm of your hand

The new global network demands internet connectivity. Organizations are moving to cloud-based systems and applications as market forces require speed, agility, and options for cost and performance optimizations, that SaaS and other cloud-based services can deliver. Today’s internet is delivering business-class network connectivity at a fraction of the cost of traditional MPLS based networks.

In this webinar you will learn:

-  How your global network can be cost, and performance optimized through the power of vendor agnostic internet services.
-  How multiple ISP’s can be managed from a single point of contact and an agile solution that can adjust as your business does
-  How today’s tools can enable full network visibility and data insights allowing you to properly monitor and scale the solution for your business
-  How a stellar end-user experience can be maintained at a consistent level – wherever you do business

How to Achieve Safe and Reliable Global Network Connectivity in Every Location

As businesses wave goodbye to MPLS and move to the Internet, Cloud First and SaaS strategies are every IT team’s agenda. The Internet is rapidly becoming cornerstone of the enterprise network.

However, the internet is messy and complex and needs to be, controlled and predictable, and not only is this essential when it comes to operational security and efficiency, but also when it comes to user experience. Consistent and reliable performance levels are a must-have but aren’t always viewed with the same priority or importance as the rest of your network.

SD WAN deployment is a tried and tested way of guaranteeing application performance. But it can only perform as well as the network infrastructure it runs over.

Bringing your SD WAN and network infrastructure together removes the risk of poor performance and offers the visibility to ensure your user experience never falters.

Join us as we discuss:

-  How bringing overlay and underlay infrastructures together can deliver a better user experience and the operational efficiencies being demanded today

-  How Enhanced Internet solutions ensure that predictable application performance in all locations deliver the promises of Cloud First and SaaS strategies

-  The importance of complete visibility of overlay and underlay via a single pane of glass to site level, puts the IT team in complete control of their global network infrastructure.

-  And much more!

Is Your Network Infrastructure Holding You Back?

Digital Transformation is happening as we speak. Over the next few years, Gartner analysts estimate cloud revenue will surpass non-cloud revenue for relevant enterprise IT markets. What are the key drivers and how can network and IT leaders better support this cloud adoption?  

Join our Expereo Connectivity Talks with Hein Pattyn - Product Officer, SD-WAN & SASE, and Bob Kukic - Senior Solutions Engineer at Expereo, answering these questions and more. 

What you will learn in less than 10’: 
   - Why cloud adoption is key during digital transformation 
   - How is digital transformation impacting the network itself 
   - How is the enterprise security environment changing 
   - Rethinking the network as part of the platform

Network as platform or part of the platform?

Optimising your internet experience and application performance has never been more important. The ability to go global and enhance your SD-WAN performance gives your enterprise a huge advantage in today’s environment.

Managed SD-WAN puts you in control, while cutting operational costs and combining connectivity with security. But for SD-WAN to operate efficiently, you need an enhanced internet network. How can cloud acceleration facilitate this, and how can you guarantee the best user experience when connecting to SaaS applications?

Join us in this session as we discuss:

-  How Cloud Acceleration enhances internet access
-  The business value of SD-WAN
-  How to achieve an MPLS-like performance for your private network
-  The future of SD-WAN

Cloud Acceleration and SD-WAN: A Match Made in Heaven

In the digital age, internet access is a must for enterprises to guarantee access to cloud applications around the world. With so many providers in the market, it can be difficult to know which one to choose. User experience should be top of mind when choosing your solution.

Businesses are leveraging cloud datacenter and SaaS applications to increase their productivity, and as such, businesses today require the best connection. Global internet connectivity allows you to access your datacenter or SaaS from anywhere, but what are the limitations of global internet connectivity? What impact do these limitations have on your business, and how can you overcome these challenges to make internet flexible, faster, scalable and cost-effective for your enterprise? 

Join us in this session as expert panellists discuss: 
-  The state of global connectivity in 2021, its limitations, and the impact of these on your business
-  Taking into consideration latency, packet loss and user experience when choosing your solution 
-  The future of global internet with an introduction to cloud acceleration

Trick or Treat: Is your Cloud-First Strategy Cursed?

Cloud fabric refers to building a private network over the internet to enhance performance, consistency and user experience when using SaaS applications and connecting to private cloud datacenters. Cloud fabric is the future of networking. Why? As enterprises shift to cloud applications and private cloud, the challenge becomes ensuring consistent user experience across users globally regardless of SaaS applications or private cloud. The solution to this challenge is cloud fabric. 

While the internet connects you to the clouds, finding a cloud fabric solution will bring them all closer to you. This will ensure performance, consistency and security. But what can cloud fabric do that MPLS and SD-WAN cannot, and what does the right cloud fabric solution look like? 

Join us in this session as we discuss: 
-  Cloud fabric as a global cloud connectivity solution 
-  The value of end-to-end route optimization for WAN and cloud traffic 
-  The flexibility and scalability of cloud fabric 
-  Why cloud fabric is the future, and how to choose the right solution for your enterprise
