Pareto has unveiled cloud-based distributed networking offerings which delivers enterprise-class network capabilities globally, via a resilient multi-tenant application that requires no capital investment in networking equipment.
The company said that it offers the network application for accelerating and simplifying network deployment and operations, and delivers 100% centralised visibility and control.
According to Pareto, cloud-based service eliminates the costs and complexities associated with legacy, hardware-based offerings, by bundling Ethernet, Wi-Fi and 3G-ready network appliances, and new sites can be deployed in minutes at zero cost.
The company said that its first line of cloud-based offerings, Pareto Branch on Demand, consists of three components which includes Pareto Cloud Services, a multi-tenant application that centralises network and security policy configuration, provisioning, troubleshooting, address management, log management, monitoring and reporting.
Pareto Branch on Demand also includes Pareto Branch Gateway devices, that deliver Ethernet, 802.11n Wi-Fi and 3G WWAN, along with firewall, proxy and user-based authentication, bundled at no cost for deployment in remote locations and the data center; and Pareto Virtual Branch Gateway, a VMware, software-based gateway for the enterprise data center and securely connecting to cloud environments.
Pareto Cloud Services enables users to view and troubleshoot their cloud-based network using their Apple iPhone, iPod and iPad, with the Pareto Cloud Mobile App; and empowers enterprises to deploy and manage their own secured, distributed network, without the burden of assembling the individual components, the company said.
Matthew Palmer, co-founder and CEO of Pareto Networks, said: "Deploying and managing a CRM solution was overly complex, time-intensive and extremely expensive before Salesforce.com entered the picture with their cloud-based service and changed everything. The same could be said for networking; before today, enterprises had no choice but to purchase expensive equipment, build out the infrastructure and hire scores of experts to troubleshoot and keep the network running. It’s time for this to change."
"We are not simply taking a legacy, single-tenant management application, hosting it, and calling it cloud-based networking. Just as Salesforce.com’s multi-tenant architecture differentiated it from hosted and on-premise CRM solutions, Pareto’s architecture and business model eliminates the need to purchase routers, access points, switches and firewalls to set a new standard for distributed networking."
