Nitel Hires Former Windstream Channel Chief, Makes SD-WAN, SD-Security Services Available

Managed telecom service provider Nitel said Windstream's former channel chief, Jason Dishon, has come on board as Nitel's executive vice president of sales and marketing. In his new role, he will be leading Nitel's sales, marketing and sales operations strategy and efforts, according to the company.

Nitel also said its SD-WAN and SD-Security services are now available through its channel partners and business customers. The Chicago-based provider is offering select channel partners and their business customers a 90-day SD-WAN test drive at no charge.

Nitel in February first announced its SD-WAN and SD-Security portfolio in alliance with SD-WAN provider Versa Networks.
