Het onderzoeksbureau Gartner heeft Verizon Enterprise
Solutions als leider gepositioneerd in twee rapporten die onlangs zijn
verschenen - Magic
Quadrant for Global Network Service Providers en
Magic
Quadrant for Pan-Europan Network Service Providers. In beide rapporten worden providers geëvalueerd
die vaste bedrijfsnetwerken aanbieden op wereldwijde of Pan-Europeese
basis. Services die door Gartner worden geëvalueerd, zijn onder andere gesprek-,
data- en beheerde netwerkdiensten, waaronder mulitprotocoal label switching
(MLPS), IPsec virtual private networks (VPN), ethernetdiensten en SIP
trunking. Daarnaast wordt er gekeken naar extra services zoals beveiliging,
unified communications en datacenter-services voor zakelijke klanten in
verschillende regio’s.
De positionering binnen de Gartner Magic Quadrant is
gebaseerd op de goede uitvoering en volledigheid van Verizon’s
dienstenportfolio. Volgens Gartner is een leider “een bedrijf met een volledig
portfolio van voice- en data-producten, met een bovengemiddelde service en
support en een Europees/Wereldwijd bereik tegen scherpe kosten. Ook heeft het
bedrijf een sterke visie die gericht is op de ontwikkeling van de
ICT-mogelijkheden en communiceert het bedrijf er helder en open over.”

Firm Positions Verizon in the Leaders Quadrant for Global and Pan-European
Network Service Providers
READING, U.K. – Leading industry analyst firm
Gartner Inc. has placed Verizon Enterprise Solutions in the Leaders quadrant in
the firm’s two reports – “Magic Quadrant for Global Network
Service Providers”[i] and “Magic Quadrant for Pan-European Network
Service Providers.”[ii]
Both reports evaluate providers that can
deliver fixed corporate-networking services on a global and Pan-European basis.
Offerings evaluated by Gartner include voice, data and managed network services
including multiprotocol label switching (MPLS) and IPsec virtual private
networks (VPNs), and Ethernet services and SIP trunking. This is in
addition to value-added services such as security, unified communications and
data center services to enterprise customers across multiple geographies.
Positioning in the Gartner Magic
Quadrant is based on the ability to execute and completeness of vision.
Farooq Muzaffar, Verizon’s vice
president of product development and network integration, said:
“We’ve
continued to invest heavily to expand our high-IQ networks globally, including
our 100
Gbps deployment on portions of our U.S. and European network and our recent
network expansions in Africa,
Middle East and Asia. Verizon’s networks, advanced technology
platforms and industry-specific solutions are creating new business
opportunities for our customers worldwide.”
According
to the Gartner reports: “Leaders have a full portfolio of voice and data
products, coupled with above-average service and support, wide European/Global
coverage and competitive pricing. They have a strong vision that includes
adopting more information and communication technology (ICT) capabilities,
which is a strategy they articulate clearly and openly."
Verizon has also recently been positioned in the Leaders quadrant for Asia-Pacific Network Service Providers.[iii]
