ONUG, the voice of the Global 2000, and MEF, the driving force enabling dynamic and assured services across automated networks, have announced a joint collaboration to ensure that enterprises are provided with SD-WAN services optimized for digital transformation in the multi-cloud era, the company said.
MEF will leverage ONUG´s hybrid multi-cloud enterprise user requirements to accelerate development of MEF 3.0 SD-WAN managed services standards and related certification programs. For the first time, technology vendors, enterprise users and communications service providers will engage in a formal process to drive the development of SD-WAN service delivery models and standards.
