T-Systems
What Is T-System SDWAN?
T-Systems global network offers MPLS and Ethernet services, with a much more limited internet footprint, and its carrier-based cloud interconnect offer is extremely limited.

T-Systems is a division of Deutsche Telekom, a major European fixed and mobile service provider and U.S. mobile operator. Headquartered in Frankfurt, Germany, T-Systems is responsible for delivering IT services and global enterprise networking.
T-Systems founded the Next Generation Enterprise Network Alliance (ngena), a separate company, to deliver SD-WAN, NFV/vCPE and network on-demand services globally, in combination with regional alliance partners. However, it has not yet gained significant traction in the market.
T-Systems also resells SD-WAN services from Aryaka, in which Deutsche Telekom Capital Partners has a minority investment.
T-Systems is best-suited for enterprises with global networks that are heavily weighted toward Europe.
Benefits of T-Systems SD-WAN
- T-Systems network has strong coverage in Europe, especially central Europe.
- T-Systems has a strong hybrid WAN offer, including cellular for rapid deployment backup.
- The ngena platform offers SD-WAN based on Cisco SD-WAN (Viptela) on an NFV basis, with SD-WAN, security and WAN optimization VNFs, although currently only from Cisco.
Cautions of Using T-Systems SD-WAN
- Managed SD-WAN services, network on demand and NFV/vCPE are currently only delivered via the ngena alliance (or for SD-WAN from Aryaka), not over T-Systems’ existing networks. This makes migrations and hybrid deployments more difficult, although T-Systems plans to launch its own SD-WAN services in early 2019.
- T-Systems’ carrier-based cloud interconnect is limited to Amazon and Microsoft in two European cities, fewer than any other provider in this Magic Quadrant.
- T-Systems’ network coverage of Latin America, the Middle East and Africa is much weaker than that of the Leaders in this Magic Quadrant.
