Redwood City, Calif. - November 19, 2019 - Open Systems, a global provider of an intelligent edge and cloud-native secure access service edge (SASE) platform as a service, has expanded its global partner network with the addition of Telarus, the nation’s largest privately-held distributor of business cloud infrastructure and contact center services. As a partner, Telarus’ extensive channel of 4,500 agents and advisors can offer their enterprise customers the Open Systems Secure SD-WAN and Security Operations Center (SOC) As-a-Service solutions.

“Telarus’ unique ecosystem of trusted advisors and subject-matter experts makes them a trusted partner in promoting our SASE platform to enterprises throughout the U.S. and Europe,” said Ogi Stanovcic, Head of Strategic Alliances at Open Systems. “The SD-WAN and SOC solutions in our platform are ideal for enterprises as they increasingly adopt service-based solutions to scale, simplify and manage network and security operations without adding specialized IT staff, who are in critically short supply. This allows enterprises to increase business agility, improve user experiences and optimize resources quickly without compromising security.”

Managed by world-class networking and security experts, Open Systems’ SASE platform delivers network management simplicity, security and performance to enable enterprises to serve the dynamic secure access needs of digital business and edge computing.

“SD-WAN is steadily becoming an essential technology for global infrastructure.
