Nutreco, the Netherlands-based animal nutrition and aqua-feed company, has selected AT&T for a global network solution as part of its strategy to grow business.
Nutreco will use AT&T FlexWare, virtualized network service, as well as AT&T VPN and internet access – powered by AT&T’s MPLS infrastructure.
“Innovation is as important as cost savings and efficiencies. That’s why my team turned to AT&T, which is demonstrating technology leadership with software-defined networking,” said Henry van der Ven, CIO of Nutreco.
AT&T FlexWare global network will connect Nutreco employees and share business data from Nutreco’s Dutch headquarters in Amersfoort or from a factory in Vietnam.
AT&T is providing its networking connectivity solutions across all its 200 locations in Asia Pacific, North America, Europe and Latin America. These sites include 100 production plants in 35 countries; 11 research & development centers in 7 countries.
Nutreco will use the router function of AT&T FlexWare and avoid investment in proprietary hardware.
AT&T FlexWare offers the ability to use virtualized network functions like routers, firewalls and accelerators. This will help Nutreco adapt and upgrade functions as they grow, and their needs evolve – all designed to deliver a lower total cost of ownership, said John V Slamecka, region president, EMEA, AT&T Business.
