Worldstream Launches Software-Defined Portfolio of 12 IT solutions 'As-a-Service'

NAALDWIJK, Netherlands - Aug. 3, 2021 - PRLog -- Worldstream, a fast-growing provider of IT infrastructure solutions with more than 15,000 servers installed in its own data centers in the Rotterdam/The Hague region, today launches a completely new software-defined product portfolio with 12 new infrastructure IT solutions 'as-a-service'. Built on the recently launched Worldstream Elastic Network (WEN), the new as-a-service service portfolio has been developed by Worldstream's own R&D department and responds to the increasing use of cloud and hybrid IT infrastructures and the corresponding flexibility and scalability needs of IT companies.

The recently launched Worldstream Elastic Network (WEN) is a highly secured software defined network (SDN) that provides high bandwidths and acts as an interconnection platform between data centers as well as within the data center environment. Worldstream now brings 12 infrastructural IT solutions 'as-a-service' to the market which are using this Worldstream SDN platform.

These include the following infrastructural IT solutions that are now provided by Worldstream software-defined, 'as-a-service': private cloud (VMware based), object storage, block storage, firewalls, bare metal/dedicated servers, anti-DDoS, colocation, cloud onramps, and more. Worldstream expects to gradually expand its as-a-service portfolio with new infrastructure solutions.

EVPN-VXLAN Technology

The new as-a-service IT solutions and the Worldstream Elastic Network on which the services are developed leverage Worldstream's global network backbone with a high bandwidth capacity of 10Tbit/s and 45 percent network utilization.

"For the 12 new as-a-service IT solutions, it means there is plenty of bandwidth available for the connections that customers can create à la minute between data centers and within their own data center environment," said Tim Vollebregt, Director of Network & Cloud Services at Worldstream and responsible for R&D activities. "In fact, the Worldstream global network is the backbone for the as-a-service services we are launching today. EVPN-VXLAN technology provides a virtualized layer on top of this network, while the in-house designed intelligence in the SDN-controller ensures that the various infrastructure services can be combined with each other as modular building blocks - dynamically, scalably, quickly and above all very easily."

With its infrastructural IT solutions as-a-service, Worldstream focuses on IT companies including managed service providers (MSPs), cloud service providers (CSPs), systems integrators and other IT channel companies that provide the setup and management of IT infrastructures for end users.
