Having worked with software-defined technology since 2011, Teneo provides the necessary people resource, skillset, time and around the clock management needed to operate Riverbed’s SD-WAN technology at optimum levels of performance and efficiency, 24×7. With the addition of Teneo’s Managed SD-WAN service powered by Riverbed SteelConnect, customers can truly achieve next-generation transformation of their networks.

“Many of our customers are beginning the transition to a software-defined networking approach and are looking for ways to see faster results,” commented Marc Sollars, CTO at Teneo. “Leveraging our Professional and Managed Services along with our strong partnership with Riverbed, we’re ideally placed to help customers negotiate their way around their legacy technology, plan an SD-WAN deployment that fully supports their business and application priorities, and ensure the ongoing management of that deployment through our Managed SD-WAN service.”

“As our customers adopt more and more cloud apps and services, they’re faced with the need to evolve beyond legacy approaches to networking, which are too static, hardware-centric and error-prone,” said Paul O’Farrell, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Riverbed’s SteelConnect, SteelHead, and SteelFusion business units. “Riverbed and Teneo have partnered to ensure that our customers can successfully transition to newer software-defined networks that can support the modern needs of business with greater agility and ease.”
