Additionally, IT system administrators have flexibility to adjust network access controls based on user status.

GTT’s Secure Co-Manage capability makes it easier for enterprises to monitor GTT SD-WAN services, with intuitive tables, widgets and map views. These provide comprehensive diagnostic visibility of network interfaces including latency, jitter, traffic volume, bandwidth and session utilization. The new portal feature provides additional functionality for customers to make policy changes without placing an order, resulting in greater control over bandwidth utilization for optimized application performance as well as over their network security posture.

“Organizations need to react to a constantly evolving threat landscape, manage application performance and optimize their network utilization,” stated Don MacNeil, GTT COO. “GTT Secure Co-Manage enables greater end-to-end visibility and enhanced control, and it is an example of how we are listening to our customers and evolving self-service capabilities to meet their changing cloud networking requirements.”

According to Gartner, “Co-managed SD-WAN services have emerged that enable enterprises to monitor services, as well as change SD-WAN routing policies, without provider involvement. The advantage of co-managed SD-WAN is that enterprises do not have to place an order for any changes, nor do they need to wait for the provider to carry out the order.”¹
