What is an SD-WAN?

SD-WAN (software-defined wide area network) technology is a new approach to network connectivity. Wide Area Networks (WANs) are networks operating across long distances or multiple locations – they usually require manual configuration and are complex to manage and monitor.

A software-defined (SD) WAN makes manual management redundant and offers serious business advantages.

How do SD-WANs work?

SD-WAN technology generally uses standard internet connections. Instead of manually directing traffic in your network, SD-WAN uses software to automatically direct traffic based on the rules and parameters you set

It’s essentially taking your network administration and creating a cloud-based service to manage your network. Your in-house IT specialists will still have a complete overview of your WAN, without the manual work.

Complex interconnectivity simplified

Comprehensive management and security done for you

Complete control

Our team of specialist network engineers will work with you to design an SD-WAN solution that meets the unique needs of your team.

You’re fully in control of rules and parameters. You can categorise and identify your users, content and network applications and enforce access control policies (block or prioritise applications).

Forward-thinking

We have connections with every Tier 1 carrier in the country – so do you. We handpick the best data access link for each site and then connect them all through our Layer 2 Network – future-proofing your network from day one.

You may start with one or two office locations, but five years from now, you might have nine or ten! You'll always get the best service, no matter how many sites join your network.

Safe and secure

We know security’s importance to your business, so our fully managed SD-WAN solution includes Next Generation firewall capabilities.

You get access to state-of-the-art malware protection, including a database of over 500 million known files (with over 1.5 million new file samples recorded daily), so you can gain control over evasive and encrypted traffic like BitTorrent and Skype.

The Right Tech

Choosing the right network solution

One size doesn’t fit all

Multi-site networks spanning wide areas come with complex problems that need careful consideration. An SD-WAN solution might be the right choice for some enterprises, while other network technology – like an MPLS network – may work better in other situations.

You’re in safe hands

Both MPLS and SD-WAN solutions have pros and cons – it comes down to the type of business you run, what services your staff need, and what level of reliability you’re willing to live with.

Unsure which network solution is best for your business? We’re here to help. Our experienced network engineers and architects listen to your business requirements and advise on the best network solution for you – then we build it.
