SITA and Versa Networks Launch SD-WAN Solution Connect Go
(05/10/22)
SITA has partnered with Versa Networks, a
recognized secure access service edge (SASE) company, to launch
SITA Connect Go, a multi-tenant edge Secure SD-WAN
(Software-Defined Wide Area Network) solution designed
specifically for the air transport industry.
SITA
Connect Go, a software-based solution, allows multiple
airlines, ground handlers and other tenants to securely access
the same virtualized infrastructure at airports and in the cloud,
delivering more scalable and agile connectivity.
The technology not only brings
greater flexibility and innovation to support the airline
industry's journey into multi-cloud adoption, but also means
airlines can make rapid route changes and use shared airport
infrastructure without a huge upfront investment.
Hector Avalos, VP MSP EMEA of Versa Networks,
said, "We are delighted to partner with SITA to meet the
connectivity needs of today's air transport industry. With today's
shifting travel landscape, industry stakeholders need greater
connectivity, agility, unprecedented reliability and airtight
network security. We have tailored the new solution to meet these
requirements and power the future of air travel."
SITA Connect Go was built with cybersecurity at
its core, providing a multi-layered security design with a
cloud-native network and security suite for users wherever they
are.
Users also benefit from the confidence that the
software-based solution will adapt as new industry requirements
arise, allowing them to adopt new functionalities as they are
introduced without having to invest in costly upgrades.
Martin Smillie, Senior Vice President, SITA
Communications & Data Exchange, said, "As a longstanding industry
partner trusted with bridging more than 60% of the air transport
community's data exchange, we are proud to introduce the next
generation of SDN technology. The current volatile economic
environment requires that airlines adjust to passenger peaks and
troughs, wherever they want to fly. In Versa, we have found a
tried-and-tested partner with market-leading technology to support
the complex requirements specific to the air transport industry.
We look forward to helping our customers reap the benefits."
SITA's extensive
network connectivity currently bridges over 600 airports and more
than 750 destinations worldwide.
