StarSystem Hosted is enhanced by using VeloCloud SD-WAN to improve network performance over private, broadband and LTE. VeloCloud technology extends several benefits into StarSystem, including software-defined control of bandwidth allocation and improved performance of applications, according to Star2Star.
These enhancements deliver increased value to the offering, allowing it to maintain the “same quality, performance, reliability and security as Star2Star’s acclaimed voice-optimized hybrid solution,” the company said.
“We are excited to provide our partners with another robust solution that meets the demands of businesses that care about call quality and reliability,” said Michelle Accardi, Star2Star’s president. “Customers will benefit greatly from the level of control VeloCloud SD-WAN offers, and this partnership will help us deliver an even more user-centric experience to those customers that require more than our standard voice-optimized hybrid features.”
Last month, VeloCloud announced its Ready-Set-Go partner program. Service providers that have chosen VeloCloud for SD-WAN include AT&T, BullsEye Telecom, Sprint, IBM, Megapath, MetTel, Mitel, TPx Communications, Vonage, Windstream and others.
“Star2Star Communications delivers uniquely innovative voice and unified communications solutions and an exceptional dedication to customer service and support,” said Michael Wood, VeloCloud’s vice president of worldwide marketing. “Integration with VeloCloud cloud-delivered SD-WAN is increasing this focus on quality, security, performance and reliability with a combined solution that is secure, transport agnostic, and cloud-delivered.”
