Orange Business is combining its global cloud connectivity and embedded cybersecurity capabilities to support every step of Haier ’ s transformation journey . The technology combines a network-as-a-service experience with an open ecosystem to enable Haier to access solutions as needed , all fortified by performance-focused SLAs .

The initial Haier deployment includes Flexible SD-WAN , with Orange Business consultants advising on the underlay and overlay options to best suit the business .
Security is delivered via a protection suite to secure 5,000 users supported by the management skills of Orange Cyberdefense . Orange cloud connectivity provides secure access to multi-clouds via SD-WAN . This is all managed by a customer portal together with a network performance monitoring solution to provide both control and visibility .
