Network Transformation

The successful delivery of your Cloud Transformation depends upon your Network Transformation.

It’s a huge change going from a single location network to a distributed network, and there are many factors to think about.

When it comes to the network, you need certain things to get maximum value from both your infrastructure and applications.

HERE'S WHERE OUR SOFTWARE-DEFINED NETWORK (SDN) COMES IN…

High bandwidth is delivered by our Ethernet and Broadband services.
Real-time application visibility and control is built in.
Time to service is cut down by the latest automation tools.
We are able to reduce complexity by overlaying our SDN solution over your existing network
Full security is intrinsic to our SDN.

Our SDN is built on our Software Defined Digital Platform (SD-DP) and DX Toolbox.

“The Digital Transformation project Exponential-e delivered for us was fundamental in enabling us to scale our business and pursue our M&A aspirations of creating one of the largest professional services firms in the UK.”

JOHN JONES
IT DIRECTOR BDO

“It is the IT department’s job to make sure we can respond to the ever-growing changes within our business model, so we can take up new opportunities and move into new markets. Going forward, Cloud gives us far more flexibility to grow, rather than being constrained, and that’s always my focus - that we have more options than less.”

THE SOFTWARE-DEFINED DIGITAL PLATFORM (SD-DP) AND DX TOOLBOX

Leveraging our rich portfolio of Infrastructure, Platform and Connectivity products, and Professional and Managed Services, DX Toolbox contains everything an enterprise needs for its DX journey. The underlay infrastructure for our DX Toolbox, and for your DX strategy, is provided by our Software Defined Digital Platform (SD-DP).

As David Wang, Senior Consultant with ITCom Global LLC, has written:

“The Software-Defined Digital Platform is made of core and edge computing and applications, SD-WAN bonded and virtualization powered networking, and service chaining security solutions. Together they forge an integrated, intelligent, agile, secured, and cost-effective Digital Transformation (DX) stack for modern enterprises and institutions.”

Exponential-e’s SD-DP is exactly this, and – thanks to our DX Toolbox – much more.

Over the past three years, our DX Blueprint, powered by our SD-DP and DX Toolbox, has enabled more than 60 major DX programmes for leading organisations across sectors including Legal, Financial Services, Media, Retail, Construction, Housing and Charities, and many more.
