Enterprise Grade SD-WAN

A game-changer for your digital operations

As organisations accelerate the adoption of cloud-based applications and hybrid working practices, existing Wide Area Network (WAN) environments can be a significant obstacle. A Software-Defined Wide Area Network (SD-WAN) will enhance agility, performance, and security to create a dynamic working environment for people, applications and technology.

The right time for SD-WAN?

Every business network is unique. Typically, you may currently be leveraging a mesh of connection technologies including multiple remote offices, cloud deployments, software-as-a-service (SaaS) applications, data centres and mobile workers. With increasing usage and bandwidth demand, your Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) WAN technology may be struggling to cope and a future pathway may seem unclear.
If slow access and operation of working applications is creating poor productivity and staff frustration; if you’re increasingly worried about potential security vulnerabilities; if the cost of maintaining your existing WAN is rising against an ever-increasing digital load – it could be time to implement an SD-WAN solution.

Commonly heard complaints are that Network Managers have no insight into traffic patterns, bandwidth utilisation and performance, or any insight was very limited and rigid.

Next generation technology

SD-WAN leverages advanced software-based technology to enhance the agility, performance, and security of network services.

Purpose-designed for cloud-based applications and the need to offer fast, secure access from anywhere, SD-WAN is next generation technology, perfect for geographically dispersed locations, such as branch offices, data centres and your remote workers. Properly deployed, it can solve your current network problems, reduce the burden on IT fixes and maintenance, and significantly enhance the user experience for everyone.

The Ideal Solution

We’ll work with you to consider your legacy systems, existing infrastructure and working practices before creating an SD-WAN solution to meet your current and future business environment.

Creating an integrated SD-WAN network solution

Setting up and configuring SD-WAN can be complex, particularly for organisations with large, distributed networks. Proper planning and expertise are required to ensure a successful deployment.
We’ll take time to understand your current usage and future projections. We’ll consider your legacy systems, anticipating any potential compatibility issues or hardware upgrades to avoid nasty surprises. We’ll help you choose the right vendor for the technology backbone and create a detailed deployment plan to minimise disruption during transition.

Taking the pain points away

Using Quality of Service (QoS) Management, we’ll ensure proper prioritisation of critical applications and traffic to ensure your network operates efficiently. We’ll configure advanced monitoring and analytics to give you full visibility and ensure consistent security right across your distributed network.
Once deployed, your Ideal SD-WAN will simplify new service adoptions and streamline how you move workloads in the cloudcloud workload management. Faster performance with reduced bandwidth utilisation, lower maintenance costs and robust security will make IT management more cost-effective. And your users will be happy too, with faster, smoother more reliable access to all the digital services they rely on.
