SkySwitch joins Bigleaf Cloud Assurance Program for deeper integration with Bigleaf real-time SD-WAN adaptation and monitoring

 PORTLAND, Ore. & LAKELAND, Fla. (October 11, 2016) — Bigleaf Networks, the Cloud-first SD-WAN service that optimizes Internet and Cloud performance by dynamically choosing the best connection and adapting QoS in real-time, today announced a partnership adding SkySwitch, a white-label hosted PBX and UCCaaS provider, to Bigleaf’s Cloud Assurance Program.

 Bigleaf’s Cloud Assurance Program helps ensure that partner cloud applications achieve peak performance and mutual customers have peace of mind.  Joint customers of Bigleaf and SkySwitch will enjoy enhanced voice, data, and cloud services through Bigleaf’s network performance analysis and optimization.

 The Cloud Assurance Program centers around Bigleaf’s patent-pending Intelligent Load-Balancing and Dynamic Quality-of-Service (QoS) functionality. Bigleaf provides real-time failover and load-balancing with seamless mid-session re-routing based on ISP circuit quality. Bigleaf’s unique Dynamic QoS technology prioritizes VoIP and other business-critical applications across the public Internet. These innovations provide complete control of both download and upload traffic, and work across ISP circuits with variable bandwidth like cable.

 The Bigleaf Cloud Assurance Program incorporates:

• Interoperability testing of QoS prioritization, load-balancing and seamless failover of the Assurance Partner’s application traffic.
• Network peering, where appropriate, to ensure end-to-end QoS protection.
• Enhanced support for the Assurance Partner’s customers through:
  • Bigleaf Web App visibility and reporting of latency, packet loss and jitter.
  • Joint support training and collaboration on troubleshooting efforts.

 “We’re excited to add SkySwitch to our Cloud Assurance portfolio,” said Bigleaf Founder and CEO Joel Mulkey. “Combining Bigleaf with their VoIP and UC platform, their resellers can offer a joint package to end customers that provides an outstanding experience.”

 “When delivering voice as an over-the-top service, service providers need a sound strategy for ensuring QoS.  Bigleaf’s QoS prioritization and load balancing solution solves this problem.” said SkySwitch President Eric Hernaez. “SkySwitch is working hard to build an ecosystem that white label resellers can leverage to optimize their success in the fast growing market for hosted PBX and UCaaS.  We are very pleased to be working with Bigleaf in this regard.”
