Managed SD-WAN Solutions

Traditional Wide Area Network (WAN) design is based on multiple single-function devices with silo management and disparate WAN links connecting them, needing multiple truck rolls to deploy, monitor and troubleshoot. With increasing demands for high bandwidth, secure and efficient networks, it is challenging for enterprises to manage their network, yet optimising operating costs at the same time. As a result, businesses are unable to achieve optimal performance or cost for their network. With SPTel Software-Defined Wide Area Network (SD-WAN), businesses can simplify and optimise their network through a unified network controller and platform.

SD-WAN applies software-defined networking (SDN) technology to WAN connections, such as branch offices and data centres – over long distances. This allows organisations to have even greater control over how they segment and set protocols for their network.

How Does SD-WAN Benefit Your Business?

For many enterprises, the key reason for implementing SD-WAN is to simplify the management and operation of enterprise WAN and build higher-performance hybrid WANs. It is also particularly beneficial when incorporating Software as a Service (SaaS) applications, which often require reliable and secure SD-WAN connectivity. With the ability to provide secured and managed network connectivity, SPTel is a managed network service provider that can enable the deployment of SD-WAN solutions.

Rather than increasing your total cost of business by applying requirements over your entire network, IT managers can now centrally define and orchestrate granular security policies and configure and manage secure end-to-end zones across any combination of users, application groups and virtual overlays

How Does Our SD-WAN Work?

Our SD-WAN devices provide secure optimized connectivity to private, public and hybrid applications, computing and virtualized services. This flexible SD-WAN architecture creates an advanced network overlay leveraging existing connectivity solutions like IPVPN, Metro Ethernet, or Broadband Internet.

Once the network overlay is in place, there is full visibility over bandwidth usage and performance by the different applications, with policies to allow mission critical applications to have maximum uptime and availability while optimising application performance. Customers can even increase segmentation and assign different network topologies. This is especially important when dealing with critical information and data that require additional cyber security measures.

Secured communication protocols can be deployed across the network by simply configuring it within our SD-WAN device. This will ensure secure access by all users, especially in a time when data bypasses a traditional data centre and goes to the cloud directly. Best of all, our SD-WAN technology is agnostic to the underlay’s service providers if there is internet connectivity, enabling consolidated control over customer’s entire network, no matter who the connectivity partners are. This is especially critical for businesses that require service provider diversity.

Monitoring and provisioning of new network functions can also be automated by accessing your SD-WAN portal to deep dive into individual network segment availability and performance with virtual deployment of new protocols.
