Netsurion Introduces BranchSDO for Retail, Restaurant and Hospitality Businesses

February 05, 2019

Netsurion, a leading provider of managed network connectivity, security and compliance solutions, today announced BranchSDO, a comprehensive network management and security orchestration solution for multi-location businesses.
 
“Software-defined networking improves bandwidth efficiency and application performance, and is now moving to branch offices,” according to Lee Doyle, principal analyst at Doyle Research. “I refer to this trend as SD-Branch, which I define as a single hardware platform that supports SD-WAN, routing, integrated security and LAN/Wi-Fi functions that can all be managed centrally.”
 
Netsurion’s BranchSDO advances this evolution, replacing its first-generation SD-Branch solution, Connect SD-WAN. BranchSDO fuses together multiple technologies and managed services to optimize edge network connectivity, security, scalability and costs for branch locations, as well as IoT applications. This all-in-one solution combines the Netsurion CXD, a powerful plug-and-play edge device, and the BranchSDO Orchestrator to deliver next-gen security, cellular failover, managed Wi-Fi and PCI DSS compliance tools and support. With BranchSDO, distributed enterprises can expect simplified branch network management, advanced threat protection, streamlined compliance and cost reduction.
 
BranchSDO is aimed at enterprises that need to connect widely dispersed branch offices and franchises with data centers, particularly those in the retail, restaurant and hospitality sectors, as well as companies with widely distributed IoT devices. To meet each customer’s specific requirements, the company offers a choice of flexible delivery models that can be managed by the customer, the customer’s IT service provider (MSP) or by Netsurion.
 
“All businesses struggle to balance network agility with expense reduction and the need for cybersecurity, but the problem is most acute in companies that have multiple locations such as branch offices or distributed retail or hospitality locations,” said John Ayers, vice president of product. “At Netsurion, we have a long and successful track record of working as an extension of IT teams to help these widely distributed organizations solve their networking and security problems efficiently and effectively. BranchSDO builds on that foundation and integrates many technologies, backed by our support resources, to significantly expand the value of what we can offer.”
 
BranchSDO is a proven solution that already powers 2,000 first-generation SD-Branch locations that received a free upgrade. BranchSDO is now generally available.
