Orange Business has once again been positioned as a Leader in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for Network Services, Global for the 18th consecutive year. We believe that our Leaders position validates our ability to steer the future of global network services and deploy our strategy towards the promise of intent-based networking.
"In the past 12 months, Gartner has seen accelerated change in enterprise requirements and buying criteria for global networks. Enterprises are increasingly focusing on agility, their adoption of cloud services and greater use of the internet as primary WAN transport."* Orange has anticipated these trends by evolving our hybrid WAN solutions to offer a new SD-WAN by Orange portfolio of services. Over the past year we have launched SD-WAN services with best-of-breed partners, such as Cisco/Viptela and Riverbed in appliances mode, but also network function virtualization based on Viptela technology, and features like zero-touch provisioning.
