IZO™ Internet WAN caters to all industries such as Manufacturing, IT, ITeS, Services, Retail, BFSI, etc. IZO™ Internet WAN, launched in 2014, is the world's first predictable and dependable internet.

"We closely listened to our global enterprise customers and for them, guaranteed uptime is business critical. Hence, our objective has always been to deliver highly available quality Internet. We have expanded our global reach, added service variants from Dedicated Internet Access to broadband to meet customers' different business needs, and ensured cross border regulatory compliances so enterprises can have predictable, dependable Internet to run their business.

"Tata Communications IZO™ Internet WAN has enabled us to focus on our core business, while improving our people's efficiency and effectiveness. In addition, higher availability is enhancing our experience. In today's cloud-first world, where enterprises are moving workloads to clouds, market offerings like dedicated Internet or broadband, the lack of guaranteed performance, uptime and short restoration becomes a critical hindrance for any enterprise.

To support these businesses, the enterprise Internet experience must be reliable, predictable, and seamless. Tata Communications IZO™ Internet WAN aims to provide consistent high performance between broadband Internet endpoints and cloud services, as a widely available and dependable service option," said Brian Washburn, Research Director, Service Provider Enterprise & Wholesale from Omdia.
