GTT: Keeping Distributed Enterprises Secure and Connected

With a 600+ PoP global backbone and the cloud-native Envision platform, GTT is turning network and security appliances into on-demand software—deployable in minutes, manageable from one pane of glass.

The new enterprise headache

Hybrid work, multi-cloud sprawl and AI-hungry apps have stretched the traditional WAN past breaking point. GTT’s answer is Envision—an API-first, virtualised network-and-security fabric that pushes compute and policy to wherever data lives.

Inside the Envision stack

EnvisionCORE – global orchestration layer that spins up VNFs (firewalls, SD-WAN, SASE) on demand
EnvisionEDGE – palm-sized CPE/edge node with x86 muscle; ships with zero-touch provisioning
EnvisionDX – single digital dashboard; real-time telemetry, ML-based anomaly alerts and soon, conversational AI agents

Proof in the field: Syngenta

Operating 400+ research stations across six continents, ag-tech leader Syngenta replaced legacy MPLS with GTT EnvisionEDGE. Result: 99.99 % up-time, 40 % faster application response and automatic failover when a monsoon flooded a Malaysian site—detected and remediated in under 90 seconds.

What’s next

An AI layer—currently in beta—will predict bandwidth spikes, auto-scale virtual firewalls and let customers “chat” with the network (“Why did latency in São Paulo jump at 09:14?”). Jesse Okerlund, VP Enterprise Sales Americas: “Virtualised networks-as-a-service will let CIOs treat connectivity like cloud storage—click, slide, done.”

Bottom line

As apps decentralise, the network can no longer be a box in a closet. GTT’s move to software-defined, AI-driven everything means the next branch office is a cardboard envelope away—and the security policy arrives before the coffee machine does.
