Cohesive Networks' Customers Secure Complex Networks Across Cloud Environments

CHICAGO, IL and LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM--(Marketwired - Sep 16, 2015) - Cohesive Networks today announced ten global customers in diverse industries that have grown their cloud-based businesses and expanded globally using VNS3. Across ten highly specialized industries, VNS3 is extending networks across cloud environments and protecting critical applications through end-to-end encryption. Cohesive Networks customer spotlights include CodeObjects, Foley Carrier Service, Geezeo, Imagination, LocusView, MTech Communications, PayNearMe, Sigma Moviles and Trek10.

"As more enterprises use cloud to grow their business, they are seeing network limitations as they connect customers, partners, and global networks together," said Chris Purrington, UK Managing Director and Head of Sales. "VNS3 helps customers seamlessly bridge traditional networking functions to the cloud with the added security and flexibility they need."

Cohesive Networks also announced customers have logged over 500 million usage hours for VNS3 virtual networking products since its launch in 2008. VNS3 is publicly available in Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, CenturyLink Cloud, ElasticHosts, HP Helion, IBM SoftLayer and more. More than 1,200 customers use VNS3 in over 22 countries.

Connecting with Encrypted Tunnels to Partners without Physical Infrastructure Costs
Sigma Mo�viles, a Lima-based software development company as well as a premium SMS provider, uses VNS3 in Microsoft Azure to connect to their partners' networking devices while saving on capital expenses and upfront costs associated with dedicated internet connections and physical server infrastructure.

"VNS3 made our setup a reality," said Paolo Cuadros, Information Technology Manager at Sigma Mo�viles. "VNS3 made our setup and connection feasible with our partners using the cloud instead of having our own Tier1 infrastructure."

Speeding Customer Successes to Drive Business
In the African telecom industry, Cohesive Networks customer MTech Communications uses VNS3 to connect directly into their telecom partners' infrastructure. Since working with VNS3, MTech has more than doubled revenues, added customers, and expanded partner relationships throughout Sub-Saharan Africa.

"Previously, we spent almost $5000 every month for our servers and connections," said MTech Network Engineer Kenneth Shiaki. "But now that we use AWS and VNS3, everything has gone down to $3000 a month. We're using our resources optimally."

Trek10, an Amazon Web Services systems integrator known for their deep expertise in AWS migration and cloud services, offers VNS3 to its customers to ensure security for enterprises using hybrid clouds. 

"The cloud-class security that Cohesive Networks provides gives our team, and our customers, peace of mind as we grow and connect into more third party networks," said Trek10 Security Architect Josh von Schaumburg. "For example, we have one customer leveraging an overlay network to secure their payment transactions. It's always impressive to inform them of full end-to-end encryption with VNS3."
