- Powered by Pacnet’s innovative Network-as-a-Service (NaaS) model, PEN delivers scalable bandwidth and software-enabled intelligence, allowing customers to dynamically provision bandwidth in minutes, based on their business needs.
- PEN puts Pacnet at the forefront of industry efforts to meet the networking challenges prompted by the growth of cloud computing, offering customers scalable bandwidth that adapts to their networking requirements, integrating software-enabled intelligence with Pacnet’s unsurpassed network of wholly-owned data center and undersea cable infrastructure.
- Leverage Pacnet’s unrivalled global infrastructure: PEN is built on an enterprise class network, which offers point-to-point international private connections to customers, and extensive data center facilities across 10 data centers in Asia-Pacific.
- Fully automated provisioning with flexible network optimization options: PEN customers can provision dynamic bandwidth within minutes either throughPacnet Connect, a Web-based portal, or via an Application Programming Interface (API), eliminating the need for manual processes. This gives users the control to customize and configure network based on their performance and quality of service requirements.
- Pay for what you use: With a flexible pricing model, customers will be billed according to the amount, quality and duration of network usage.
- Hybrid cloud gateway: PEN, which utilizes an OpenFlow based software controller, extends enterprise class data centers and private clouds to any external cloud vendors, offering customers the flexibility to create a truly virtual Asia-Pacific data center.
