Software-Defined Wide
Area Network
Does your business have multiple locations, remote sites, or branch offices? If so, a technology called software-defined wide area network, or SD-WAN, could enhance your business performance and ensure business continuity.
How Our SD-WAN Service Works
SD-WAN relies on software, rather than routers and hardware, to direct and manage network traffic. It routes traffic over various types of commercially available data services like dedicated and broadband internet, multiprotocol label switching (MPLS), Ethernet Private Line (EPL).
Centralized control and customizable policies provide secure, flexible, and cost-effective traffic management. This setup enables optimal routing across various networks, enhancing deployment flexibility and cost efficiency.
SD-WAN Benefits
- Flexibility — Utilize any data connection available at a given location
- Reduced Cost — eliminates the need for redundant security/control devices at each location
- Growth — Easily deploy and manage new remote locations
- Lower Overhead — Less time and money spent on managing your network
- Streamlined Management — Manage your network from anywhere with a single interface
- Security — Route all your traffic through a single security appliance
- Bandwidth — More efficiently manage bandwidth usage throughout your organization
- Agility — Rapidly respond to changing bandwidth, security and data flow requirements
Cost and Control Advantages
- Typically more cost-effective than other WAN solutions
- Increases resilience by consistently rerouting traffic to the strongest available connection.
- Increased network control by prioritizing application and data traffic. For example, social media would have a lower priority than a VoIP phone call. These rules are set by your systems administrator and can be easily changed.
- Change rules and monitor your network from anywhere.
