Spectra has entered into a partnership with Versa Networks under which Spectra will use Versa’s SD-WAN solutions to enhance its portfolio of networking offerings. This will help Spectra provide a secure, flexible and customisable managed services experience to its enterprise clients, thus accelerating the customer’s digital transformation journey.

Commenting on the development, Udit Mehrotra, chief executive officer, Spectra, said, “Presently the SD-WAN and network security markets are multi-billion-dollar annual revenue opportunities, which are mainly served with traditional box and connectivity solutions. Spectra is leading the transformation of these offerings to the managed services model with software-defined networking solutions. Versa is a strategic partner collaborating with Spectra to develop its managed service offerings for businesses, which fits perfectly into our vision of delivering a 10x value proposition and differentiated experience for business customers.”

Meanwhile, Kumar Mehta, co-founder and chief data officer, Versa Networks, said, “Spectra can now offer its customers a broad range of integrated services like wide area network (WAN) and SaaS optimisation, application aware and outcome based intelligent traffic routing, network security, and a centralised management and monitoring portal for network, application performance and security along with internet connectivity. Versa’s solution enables Spectra to offer connectivity and security services at huge opex and capex savings to our customers. The completely managed service by Spectra will appeal to any enterprise held back by limited availability of skilled IT resources, budgets and time.”
