SD-WAN - Overview

SD-WAN Definition:

 SD-WAN is an overlay network that simplifies the management

and operation of a WAN by decoupling (separating) the

networking hardware from its control mechanism.

Organizations can build higher performing WANs using lower

cost lP broadband to partially or wholly replace more

expensive private WAN connection technologies such as MPLS.

A centralized controller is used to set policies and prioritize

traffic. SD-WAN then takes into account these policies and the

real time performance of the network connections to route

traffic. This helps ensure that application performance meets

service level agreements (SLAs).

•  Best overall value and functionality
• Agility and speed when adding locations
• Redundancy, scalability and fault tolerance
• Quality of experience for critical applications
• Simplification of operations
• Connectivity to other cloud-based solutions
• Dynamic bandwidth
• Cost effective upgrades
• Support whenever you need it
• Application acceleration and optimization

        BANDWIDTH

            AGGREGATION

 If your business requires a robust communications and data network for its mission critical applications and services. Traditionally that has been accomplished by connecting private sites with MPLS or other private circuits. SD-WAN provides solutions that not only meet or exceed those offered by traditional WAN technologies, but can provide additional capabilities, such as redundancy, application acceleration, dynamic bandwidth to large cloud providers, and more. Map and scale to your business objectives faster and more effectively, with SD-WAN 

 SD-WAN allows companies to utilize multiple Internet circuits, balance the load across them, and deliver a solid quality of experience. Aggregating the Internet circuits allows for large amounts of bandwidth, while securely connecting to additional private locations. Additional sites can be added in very short order once Internet access is acquired. What’s not to like—fast deployment, redundancy, secure connections,
and solid quality of experience?

                   REDUNDANCY

 SD-WAN solutions can combine your MPLS and Internet connections, so they don’t sit idle. Imagine SD-WAN can dynamically and intelligently route traffic over multiple circuits to improve efficiency, and if there’s a circuit failure, SD-WAN provides seamless packet by packet routing to keep you up and running. With little downtime, you and your employees can be more efficient and productive throughout the day.

                    SECURITY

 Businesses appreciate the cost associated with Internet circuits but worry about security if transmitting sensitive data. SD-WAN provides secure connections between sites and reduced complexities – a benefit of as-a-Service solutions!

                    DYNAMIC
                       BANDWIDTH

 Do you utilize or plan to utilize other cloud services, such as AWS, Azure or Google? Many SD-WAN providers connect directly to many of these cloud providers. Additionally, there are options that allow bandwidth to grow dynamically as your cloud needs change.

                         QUALITY OF
                         EXPERIENCE (QOE)

 SD-WAN solutions can provide prioritization to the mission critical applications your business demands. Typically, providers choose the best circuit based on real-time statistics giving priority to video, voice, and other business applications. SD-WAN solutions optimize the traffic, reducing overall latency, jitter and response times, and accelerate the applications themselves.

                                                   NETWORK FUNCTION VIRTUALIZATION

We can also provide partnerships with companies that can visualize out many network functions, such as firewalls, VPNs, load balancing, application acceleration, etc.
