Liquid-X is supported by Singtel’s worldwide points-of-presence network infrastructure that spans across 362 cities.
Through MyConnect, Singtel’s self-service portal, Liquid-X’s analytics function enables enterprises to make data-driven network management decisions such as selecting the most suitable cloud or internet service provider for their worldwide branches and centrally implement network policies.
Liquid-X is also integrated with Singtel’s managed software-defined wide area network (SD-WAN) to ensure secure cloud connectivity and to prove round-the-clock performance monitoring, detection and response to network anomalies.
Lim Seng Kong, managing director for Singtel’s Enterprise Business at Group Enterprise said, “The global pandemic has driven more enterprises to rely on the cloud to host their data and solutions. For enterprises with global operations, it is a challenge to manage multiple clouds hosting their workloads as each cloud requires a separate connectivity.”
He added: “Liquid-X’s launch is timely in addressing enterprises' need for an all-in-one cloud-based network solution which simplifies and secures their cloud connectivity, provides a flexible, cost-efficient way to access cloud workloads globally and gives insights into network performance.”
As at 12.18pm, shares in Singtel are trading 1 cent lower or 0.4% down at $2.50.
