Pacnet offers Pan-Asia Network-as-a-Service Architecture

To deliver flexible and scalable bandwidth configurable by customers, heralding a major advance in the capabilities of enterprises and carriers to build high-performance and cloud-ready networks, Pacnet has announced the beta launch of the Pacnet Enabled Network (PEN) platform.
 
Powered by Pacnet’s innovative Network-as-a-Service (NaaS) model, PEN delivers scalable bandwidth and software-enabled intelligence, allowing customers to dynamically provision bandwidth in minutes, based on their business needs. PEN users are able to create a virtualized cross-connected environment leveraging Pacnet’s wholly-owned network of data centers and telecommunications infrastructure for unrivalled coverage of financial and business centers across Asia-Pacific.
 
PEN is a quantum-leap for the industry that catapults networking into the cloud-computing age. With the region’s most extensive coverage of data centers and subsea cable network, Pacnet has the capabilities to execute and deliver next-generation tools to help our customers stay on top of their networking needs in the demanding world of cloud, said Jim Fagan, President of Managed Services, Pacnet.
 
PEN offers customers access to major multiple or large carriers and data centers through the Pacnet network, and creates a virtualized cross-connected environment. This means customers can provision a network from the Pacnet Hong Kong data center to their on-premises facilities in Australia.
 
With a full launch expected in the first quarter of 2014, PEN is at the center of Pacnet’s transformation into a “next-gen” provider of cloud, data center and telecommunication services, increasing options for customers and generating additional synergies with other existing Pacnet managed services offerings.
