Easynet, the international managed network and hosting company, and Virtela, the secure network solutions company, have announced their global partnership, in a strategic move which extends Easynet’s managed network and hosting solutions to 194 countries across the globe. Easynet currently has customers in more than 45 countries and operations in nine countries. Its partnership with Virtela further demonstrates its commitment to delivering service excellence to global enterprise customers.

Virtela and Easynet have integrated network operations to deliver a single seamless service to Easynet’s global customers. Customers benefit from end to end Class of Service and Service Level Agreements. Both Easynet and Virtela have fully integrated their network management systems to support transparent reporting and operational support for all customers. This means that customers use just one interface to view all services, and have one contact number for worldwide support.

Global enterprises with diverse networks represent an ever-growing market that is well served by the wide range of solutions available via the Virtela/Easynet partnership. 

“Easynet’s global operations are growing rapidly. Working with Virtela extends their network coverage making it truly global,” said John Powell, Virtela’s vice president of global channels, “Our global operations maintain the quality of service, level of flexibility and attention to detail that Easynet’s customers have come to expect."

David Rowe, Easynet’s CEO said: “Easynet’s partnership with Virtela enables us to extend our ability to meet customers’ requirements for one company to deliver end-to-end managed network solutions, worldwide. The Virtela relationship supports Easynet’s commitment to providing superbly managed solutions, and enhances the Easynet customer experience.”

The first customer of the Virtela/Easynet partnership, a worldwide manufacturer and distributor of healthcare products, needed a unified managed network solution for 31 locations across 22 countries.  The company now benefits from a single source for a better performing, more flexible and fully managed MPLS network that can accommodate the company’s growth and support business applications such as SAP, voice and videoconferencing.
