Capita launches AI-driven cloud networking service with AWS WAN
Capita has announced the launch of a managed cloud connectivity service, leveraging AWS Cloud WAN technology and SD-WAN capabilities to deliver AI-driven network solutions for enterprises.
The service is delivered in an as-a-service model, allowing organisations to modernise their networks through intelligent, cloud-native infrastructure alongside flexible and scalable orchestration, harnessing the reach of AWS Cloud WAN and SD-WAN. The solution focuses on intelligent traffic management, predictive analytics and seamless orchestration, with support from Capita's security-driven and automated connectivity expertise.
The company has positioned itself as 'client zero', using its own cloud-native architecture for its internal operations. This approach aims to assure clients of the robustness and reliability of the service by showcasing its effectiveness in a live, enterprise environment.
According to Capita, organisations adopting this managed service will benefit from a modern foundation for further digital transformation. The company emphasises the advantages of using a cloud-native solution, citing enhanced network performance, automation, security, and scalability.
AI integration
Sameer Vuyyuru, Chief AI and Product Officer at Capita, highlighted the strategic role the launch plays in the company's development. He said:
"This is a foundational step in Capita's AI and automation roadmap. By integrating real-time telemetry, dynamic routing, and AI-driven operations, we're not only enhancing our own network performance but also empowering our clients to modernise with confidence".
The service relies on predictive analytics to anticipate network needs and adapt in real time. Capita states that this is particularly important for organisations seeking agility and resilience as they expand or alter their network infrastructure.
Cloud partnership
Anoop Dawani, Director of Product Management for AWS Network Services, commented on Capita's adoption of the AWS platform, saying:
"Capita's strategic migration to AWS Cloud WAN and SD-WAN exemplifies how organisations can leverage AWS to modernize their network infrastructure and drive AI-powered innovation. The global reach and scalability of AWS is enabling Capita to deliver a compelling 'as-a-service' offering that empowers customers to accelerate their cloud journeys and achieve significant cost efficiencies. We're excited to support Capita in enabling their customers to harness the power of AWS for intelligent, secure, and agile network operations".
Capita is leveraging the AWS Cloud WAN to deliver a globally distributed and programmable backbone, integrating with its existing cloud ecosystem. This global backbone, according to the company, enables clients to deploy sites rapidly and adapt network configurations flexibly.
Sameer Vuyyuru further commented on the relationship with AWS:
"AWS Cloud WAN offers a globally distributed, programmable backbone that integrates seamlessly with Capita's cloud ecosystem".
Service features
Capita's managed service includes a range of features designed to simplify network transformation. Clients are intended to benefit from reduced latency and optimised application delivery, which the company says will result in enhanced network performance.
Other stated advantages are cost savings achieved through automation and simplified management, increased agility with rapid site deployment, and flexible configurations tailored to client requirements. Integrated security features include zero-trust access and threat detection, elements Capita asserts are crucial for modern enterprises.
The service also provides a platform for ongoing adoption of AI initiatives and broader cloud strategies. According to Capita, this modern network foundation is supported by 24/7 expert support and continual service management to ensure operational stability and performance.
Capita says that through its own utilisation of this technology, clients can be assured of a proven, enterprise-grade solution designed to support digital transformation efforts securely and efficiently. The company is positioning the service for both public and private sector organisations seeking to manage complex business processes and modernise their IT networks.
