Macquarie Cloud Services strikes 5-year Network Intelligence deal with FirstWave

Macquarie Cloud Services, part of the Macquarie Telecom Group (ASX:MAQ), has committed to a 5-year deal with FirstWave Cloud Technology (ASX:FCT) (FirstWave) for the provision of network monitoring and intelligence software.

The solution from FirstWave will help to provide Macquarie Cloud Services with the network intelligence to achieve their goals of having a single-pane-of-glass view of critical systems. Dubbed by Macquarie Cloud Services as their ‘Manager of Managers’, this strategic objective will be achieved through the sophisticated integration capabilities of FirstWave’s NMIS Suite of products. Through these the organisation will be able to consolidate management of tools and network infrastructure element managers, centralising visibility of critical systems to provide improved efficiency and control.

Underpinning the solution for Macquarie Cloud Services is a software developed by Opmantek Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of FirstWave since January 2022. These network monitoring systems provide automation and network intelligence to leading organisations worldwide, including Microsoft, Telmex, and NASA.

FirstWave CEO and Managing Director Danny Maher said, “following the acquisition of Opmantek, our strategy has been to focus on helping service providers and telcos succeed, with this long-term commitment from Macquarie Cloud Services helping to validate our strategy.”

Having chosen FirstWave following a rigorous evaluation process, Group Executive – Macquarie Cloud Services James Mystakidis said, “we are pleased to be working with FirstWave to implement a new level of network monitoring and automation within our business. We believe  their software will help us to be more efficient in how we manage our network and improve outcomes for our customers.”

Danny Maher said, “we are thrilled to be selected by Macquarie Cloud Services as their vendor of choice in this critical area of their business. Macquarie Cloud Services’ strategic objective of having a ‘Manager of Managers’ across their network monitoring systems is addressing a problem faced by many businesses globally. We are proud to be providing them with more than just a network monitoring solution, but the ability to integrate seamlessly with their existing systems, at scale.”
