Network services provider Highlight has announced support for Cisco Meraki SD-WAN services for its service assurance platform, a tool it says delivers shared visibility of the services MSPs offer to their customers.
The new integration enables end-to-end service assurance, giving service providers and their customers the ability to view health, stability and load across both their Meraki overlay networks and underlay connectivity.
Additionally, service providers can also provide LAN elements such as WiFi and ethernet switching, with the platform’s new Grid View feature visualising these alongside the WAN to enhance the managed service further and provide a total, top-down picture.
“Our new service takes data from the Meraki SD-WAN dashboard and combines it with data from underlying connectivity services, enabling service providers to set contractual SLA targets, thresholds and alerts, and then report against these measures, all with complete transparency to the end customer,” said Martin Saunders (pictured), product director at Highlight.
Paul Bulmer, director of product management at Maintel, added: “Providing a valued managed service is core to our proposition, so we're delighted to be partnering with Highlight and their service assurance platform for both our ICON Underlay connectivity services and now our comprehensive managed SD-WAN services.”
