Cisco establishes LogicMonitor as a preferred monitoring partner for organisations deploying SD-WAN

LogicMonitor, the provider of IT infrastructure monitoring and intelligence across both cloud and on-premises, has achieved Cisco Compatible status for its Cisco SD-WAN integration.

This certification validates that LogicMonitor’s innovative cloud-based platform has been fully vetted by Cisco and establishes LogicMonitor as a Cisco preferred monitoring partner for organisations deploying and managing sophisticated networks. 

As a result of its SD-WAN compatibility certification, LogicMonitor has achieved a status upgrade within the Cisco Solution Partner Programme to that of Cisco Preferred Solution Partner. This programme reflects Cisco’s commitment to helping customers and partners maximise the value of their investment in Cisco environments. Preferred Solution Partner status provides access to early product launches and enables LogicMonitor to provide customers with unmatched coverage across the Cisco product portfolio. 

“LogicMonitor is a great partner with innovative solutions. We are excited to showcase them in our Cisco SD-WAN Technology Alliances Programme as a best-of-breed joint solution partner, and look forward to launching LogicMonitor’s Cisco Compatible solutions to our Managed Services Partners,” said Marc Inderhees, Partner Managed Services Leader, Cisco Systems.

According to a recent report published by global market intelligence firm IDC, Cisco holds the largest share of the SD-WAN infrastructure market. The same report also predicts the SD-WAN market is expected to reach $5.25B by 2023.

“We work with numerous enterprises and managed service providers with massive, global deployments of Viptela and Meraki that rely on LogicMonitor to not only visualise their networks but also maintain high-availability and improve SLAs,” said Michael Tarbet, Vice President of Managed Service Providers and Strategic Accounts, LogicMonitor. “As Cisco continues to expand its high-reliability, high-quality network services, LogicMonitor is now even more well-positioned to help Cisco customers optimise, centralise and modernise the critical IT capabilities that drive positive results for their business.”

LogicMonitor provides real-time intelligence for SD-WAN environments with out-of-the-box monitoring that is automatically applied as soon as a new device is detected. This auto-discovery of devices, coupled with the platform’s cloud-based architecture, creates rapid time-to-value and allows network administrators to decrease average customer onboarding timeframes.

"As an early adopter of Cisco SD-WAN, Core BTS supports more than 800 active customers and 5,000 networks that stretch over eight countries, and we are constantly adding new branches and locations under our management,” said Bill Wilshire, Chief Operating Officer at Core BTS. “With LogicMonitor, we install a collector remotely within minutes and easily integrate remote sites into the network for a unified view into the health and performance across all locations, including physical, cloud, and hybrid environments. LogicMonitor is crucial to helping us deliver business value to our clients and to developing solutions to grow our Cisco business, and we’re thrilled to see the continued innovation.”
