What is SD WAN?
SD WAN (Software Defined Wide Area Network) is a technology that simplifies the management and operation of a WAN (Wide Area Network) by separating the networking hardware from its control mechanism.
Using software, it allows for centralised management and configuration, simplifying network operations and reducing the need for manual configuration at individual premise locations.
SD WAN can intelligently route traffic across multiple network paths based on factors such as application requirements, network conditions and cost and this dynamic path selection improves performance and reliability.
SD WAN can be operated over Ethernet, broadband, 4G or 5G cellular networks and more whilst still maintaining the level of performance and reliability you expect. What’s more, many built-in security features such as encryption, firewalls and threat detection help to secure your data over the WAN and protect your business against cyber threats.
This intelligent network solution can prioritise network traffic based on application requirements, ensuring that critical applications receive the necessary bandwidth and quality of service to operate effectively.
Business benefits of SD WAN
- Improved Application Performance: Automatically routes mission-critical traffic (like UCaaS, ERP or Office 365) over the best available link, reducing latency and downtime.
- Lower Connectivity Costs: Blends affordable broadband or wireless links with existing MPLS – optimising cost without sacrificing performance or security.
- Central Management & Visibility: A single web portal gives you real-time insights into network performance, application usage and link status across all sites.
- Built‑in Security: Secure overlay tunnels with encryption, firewalling and segmentation helps protect both data and users – even across public internet links.
- Scalability & Speed of Deployment: Add new offices or pop-ups in minutes with zero-touch provisioning – eliminating expensive on-site configurations.
