By DALLAS — February 25, 2020 — Masergy, the software-defined network and cloud platform for the digital enterprise today announced it has been named a Visionary in Gartner, Inc.’s 2020 Magic Quadrant for Network Services, Global¹, report.

According to Gartner, “In an era of increased digital business and carrier-based cloud interconnect, enterprise demand for bandwidth and network access has never been stronger. This demand is heightened by enterprise requirements for video and the IoT, and by the fact that organizations frequently struggle with application performance challenges when moving applications and computing/storage to the public cloud. Additionally, new workloads and new digital business initiatives require agile and scalable networks that can provide greater accessibility and reliability without exponentially increasing costs.”
