Orange Business Services provides Siemens with global Flexible SD-WAN to enable secure network access to enterprise applications

• As part of its digital transformation project, Siemens has successfully migrated 1,168 operational sites in 94 countries to SD-WAN

• Flexible SD-WAN lays a secure foundation for simplifying complex network environments

Siemens AG has partnered with Orange Business Services to successfully migrate the company’s 1,168 operational sites around the world to a secure global SD-WAN infrastructure. Orange Business Services and its technology partner Cisco overcame the challenges of the pandemic and successfully deployed SD-WAN networks in 94 countries, one of the largest network migration projects in the world.

Hanna Hennig, Chief Information Officer of Siemens AG, said: "Siemens is a global company with offices and factories all over the world. To this end, building a reliable and forward-looking communication network is crucial to Siemens' business development, because our network environment must be flexible enough to meet the growing business needs. As a leading global technology company, Siemens has formulated this digital transformation project with the highest standards. Relying on the global technology, expertise and collaboration capabilities of Orange Business Services, we have successfully completed the large-scale deployment of the Flexible SD-WAN network to bring decisive advantages to our business and customers, including improving customer experience through dynamic routing selection strategies and dynamic bandwidth allocation for applications."

Easier, safer, more flexible

结合思科的技术，Flexible SD-WAN网络为西门子在全球的运营站点带来显著增益。同时，西门子携手原生数字服务供应商Orange Business Services，通过基于网络的设计与维护相结合，实现了对复杂网络环境管理工作的简化，并进一步提高了性能与灵活性。随着越来越多应用程序的托管从本地数据中心迁移至云环境，企业也需要一种更安全、更灵活的网络连接形式。传统的应用程序访问依赖于虚拟专用网，而SD-WAN实现了向基于网络连接的访问形式。

The seamless and secure SD-WAN network coverage environment lays the foundation for the flexibility of Siemens’ security framework and effectively enhances Siemens’ ability to reduce, identify and respond to various risks.

Aliette Mousnier-Lompre, interim CEO of Orange Business Services , said: “We are delighted that Siemens has chosen Orange Business Services as a trusted partner. The deployment, migration and implementation of such a large digital transformation project for Siemens, as well as the management of its critical global communications infrastructure, underscores our end-to-end integrated expertise in delivering large-scale global projects. By combining SD-WAN technology with cloud-based services and solutions, we were able to achieve the goals set by Siemens.”
