    Masergy adds second SD-WAN option with SD-WAN Go

    May 23, 2017
    Hybrid network service provider Masergy has introduced its second software-defined WAN (SD-WAN) service offering. SD-WAN Go offers rapid deployment via existing or new connections (private, dedicated, broadband, or 4G) to securely tunnel and route data across the public internet and over Masergy's Software-Defined Platform infrastructure. It offers an alternative to companies that don't yet require the more feature-rich SD-WAN Pro service.
