For us, being named a Leader in the 2023 Gartner^® Magic Quadrant^™ for Network Services, Global is significant as we continue to invest in our global network, which now covers over 180 countries. As owners and architects of the biggest public and private networks, we have access to thousands of high-capacity network sites around the world. We’re actively improving those sites through our Super PoP strategy. This means we can introduce SASE and Virtual Network Functions to more business customers.

We also think we have a particular advantage among network services providers because our infrastructure takes in private networks, internet users and mobile endpoints.

All this helps our customers connect for a better future. We help them stay in control of their critical information, keeping their data secure and putting it in the hands of the people who need it.  Whether they’re connecting sites together or managing cloud and IoT projects, we have the network and solutions and partners to meet their needs.

This includes:

• Always-on SD-WAN and SASE, next generation secure connectivity supporting customers’ digital strategy and plans
• Vodafone Cloud Connect, for high-performance connections to public cloud providers including  - AWS, Google Cloud, IBM and Microsoft Azure.

Every day we’re helping organisations around the world solve their business problems with our always-on connectivity.
