5. Marco Partnership
#MarcoTradeshow18
“Hundreds of vendors support Marco as a
business, but I’d only consider about a dozen
of them “partners.” They’ve become trusted
advisors and have a hand in making Marco a
better business.”
Jeff Gau, CEO, Marco
At Vonage, we compliment Marco in the
UCaaS space and are one of those trusted
advisors. We look out for what’s in the best
interest of Marco and have been great
advocates for their business personally and
professionally the past 4 years.
8. User Demand is Driving the
Communication Revolution
#MarcoTradeshow18
Users now demand control
of communication options
With the introduction of CPaaS, we
see a convergence of applications
Next, with the convergence of
applications and communications,
we can enhance our experience with
AI and Bots
Users forced to
communicate based on
what was on their Desk
First we had separate
infrastructure for Voice and
Data
Then, with VoIP we were able to
converge those networks into
one single infrastructure
9. In 2016, first wave of artificial intelligence technology in the
form of chatbots
Facebook allowed developers to create a chatbot for users
Apple and Amazon released Siri and Alexa
Over 2 billion people are on Facebook and over 2 billion on
messaging platforms like WhatsApp, WeChat, Apple
iMessage

conversations that we have with our friends, family, and,
of course, customers!

30. The Digital Revolution is merging communication services into
data applications
Requires edge devices to prioritize specific streams within an application
The Digital Revolution cannibalizes application bandwidth making
commodity broadband the better business choice
Ensure business class service over consumer grade bandwidth
At the same time, business users have more services to consume
requiring more granular filtering of non-work related traffic
Filtering high-bandwidth using applications like Netflix, Hulu,
Facebook video, while still providing access to the services our
business users require

32. How Does SmartWAN Improve QoS? #MarcoTradeshow18
On broadband access IPSec tunnels between
SWE and SWGW provide a secure transport
Routes traffic as needed and acts as site traffic
load balancer
All data is communicated in real-time to the
SmartWAN Orchestrator (SWO) which maintains
stats of all links and sites
Dynamic optimizer measures latency, jitter, packet
loss per session, per packet, per path in real-time
between SmartWan Edge (SWE) and SmartWAN
Gateway (SWGW) on active path and secondary
path
In case of variations in QoS inserts or buffers
packet to keep QoS consistent
When the optimization process realizes that the
active QoS is worse than standby, it switches to
standby without losing any sessions
