GTT

We manage the underlay (network) and the cloud-based overlay (SD-WAN) as a unified service GTT positions Managed SD-WAN as an end to end managed service covering circuit installation, hardware delivery, zero touch provisioning and 24/7/365 proactive monitoring under one bill and one support team. Corroborated by the GTT SD-WAN datasheet (register 18, Tier 3 host) which states GTT experts design, implement, install and optimise the service.

Lifecycle operations for SD-WAN/SASE, internet, voice, cloud connect, plus performance tuning and change control GTT Envision advertises lifecycle operations and change control, and Professional Services covers 'throughout the lifecycle of your deployment'. Graded partial because exact string checks on the Managed SD-WAN page returned ABSENT for both 'firmware' and 'hardware replacement', and no published statement was found on patching, renewals or end of life planning being included in the service.

GTT describes its managed SD-WAN service and encrypted connectivity. GTT documents encrypted connectivity within its managed SD-WAN offering. Confirm the selected technology, tunnel configuration, resilience and throughput for each site.

Native, confirmed directly - 'SD-WAN dynamically routes traffic across any connection based on real-time performance and policy' [10]

Native, confirmed directly - 'SD-WAN intelligently manages traffic across multiple network paths using centralized policies and real-time performance data' [7]

Native, confirmed directly - 'centralized control, visibility and built-in security, making it more scalable and cloud-friendly' [10]

Dual SIM capability allows automatic switching between carrier networks during localized outages GTT publishes a 5G Fixed Wireless Access service supporting primary and failover use ('Deploy automatic failover for primary circuits'), multi-carrier SIM handling, and feeding 'reliable underlay connectivity into SD-WAN and SASE architectures'. The Managed SD-WAN page lists access types 'fiber, broadband, 4G/5G'. Signal monitoring specifically was not evidenced.

GTT owns and operates one of the world's largest global Tier 1 IP backbones GTT is a Tier 1 IP transit operator. The Fortinet press release (register 16) describes a 'top-ranked, global, Tier 1 IP backbone, which spans more than 260 cities on six continents', and the Connect page claims the '4th largest global IP backbone'. This is genuinely global rather than single-country, so yes rather than partial.

Native, and genuinely well-evidenced via a real, named customer example - 'wireless access for enhanced business continuity and resiliency', reinforced by confirmed '24/7 monitoring' [16]

Native, confirmed directly by name - 'Firewall-as-a-Service (FWaaS)' named explicitly, reinforced by a confirmed 'Managed Firewall at branch locations' specifically for the Radisson deployment [9] [16]

Native, confirmed directly and repeatedly by name - 'Zero Trust Network Access' named explicitly across multiple sources, including the confirmed Radisson deployment specifically [3] [16]

Native, confirmed directly by name - 'Cloud Access Security Broker' named explicitly, and confirmed directly again as 'Cloud Access Service Brokerage' in the named Radisson case study [3] [16] Specific inline-versus-API-mode technical detail not itemised

prevents sensitive data from being exposed or exfiltrated by identifying, monitoring, and GTT's Cloud Security page lists 'Data Loss Protection (DLP)' as one of six SSE services, and the CASB page states it leverages data loss prevention technologies. Graded partner_integrated because the SSE stack is explicitly Fortinet and Palo Alto Networks technology per the SASE page. Alerting and exception workflow detail was not found. Quote is a verified substring of the DLP service description; the full sentence continues with enforcing policies on data across users, devices, applications, and networks.

Native, confirmed directly by name via the specifically-named EnvisionDX platform component - 'DX' framing itself directly implies digital-experience-monitoring focus, reinforced by confirmed '24/7 monitoring and access to ticketing support' for the named Radisson deployment [16]
