On January 24, Internet Telephony announced that both Aaron’s and CAPTRUST won the 2020 SD-WAN Implementation Award for their partnership with CloudGenix. The editorial team selected winners from customers who are delivering exceptional business and IT outcomes by deploying SD-WAN. Both customers were coming off failed SD-WAN implementations with legacy networking vendors when they first engaged with CloudGenix. With CloudGenix deployed, these customers gained cloud-scale economics for the branch with the freedom to use any WAN, any cloud, and any best-of-breed infrastructure service. The CIOs and networking teams at Aaron’s and CAPTRUST delivered 60%-75% savings on their WAN costs, increased uptime by up to 90%, and unlocked the ability to deliver rich cloud applications to the remote offices. The companies will share their deployment case studies and mistakes to avoid at SD-WAN Expo on Thurs., Feb. 13 starting at 10 a.m.

“These end-users and vendors are grabbing the bull by the horns, wrangling this era of change with robust solutions and exceptional results, and over exceeding on the expectations of the digital age. It is my honor to recognize them with a 2020 SD-WAN Implementation Award,” said Maurice Nagle Managing Editor & SD-WAN Expo Conference Chair.

“Customers continue to face big challenges with WAN costs, manageability, and the need to deliver new compelling applications to the remote office. The network has been the weak link in IT for far too long. We are changing this by two or more orders of magnitude and are freeing our customers, like Aaron’s and CAPTRUST, from large numbers of hardware appliances or routers previously required to make the branch work,” said Kumar Ramachandran, CEO and founder of CloudGenix.
