Black Box Expands Its Portfolio of Solutions with GENBAND NUViA Cloud Offering

Black Box Corp. announced July 29 it has expanded its portfolio of solutions with Genband’s NUViA cloud communications offering.

Genbands’s carrier-class, secure, multimedia communications cloud services enable Black Box to offer HD voice, video, multimedia messaging, mobility, conferencing, web collaboration, desktop clients and fixed mobile convergence as a service to its clients. Black Box will provide the NUViA cloud solution in a comprehensive unified communications as a service (UCaaS) solution that includes a suite of related products and services.

Black Box is currently a platinum partner in Genband’s Partner Advantage program. The announcement represents an extension of a previous agreement which enables Black Box to offer the Genband on-premise solution to its customers in North America.

“We are very excited to expand our relationship with Genband. Our large, enterprise clients are increasingly asking for cloud-based solutions that offer them a full range of functionality with the added benefit of pay-as-you-go economics,” said Michael Laughlin, Black Box’s vice president, strategic relationships. “Genband’s NUViA solution will provide our clients with flexible, best-in-class, cloud-based options that eliminate the need for upfront capital expenditures.”

“Genband built the NUViA cloud service on a carrier-class foundation and fortified it with simple-but-powerful Web-based operations and provisioning and management capabilities to meet the demanding go-to-market specifications of leading system integrators such as Black Box,” said Ramnik Kamo, senior vice president for global services and Cloud/SaaS for Genband. “We look forward to further expanding our partnership with Black Box to solve their clients’ complex unified communications challenges with carrier-class solutions like NUViA.”
