SD-WAN Services
The Benefits of SD-WAN for your Business
As the use of business-critical, cloud-based applications and tools continues to increase, distributed businesses with multiple remote offices, are switching from performance-inhibited wide-area networks (WANs) to software-defined WAN (SD-WAN) architectures.
SD-WAN offers business application steering, cost savings, and performance for Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) applications, as well as unified communication services.
Offering a network agnostic Secure SD-WAN, we are able to work with your business to implement the best solution – using either a fully-managed or co-managed service.
Plan B – Accenting the SD-WAN Positives
Despite New Zealand’s excellent network infrastructure, many companies are still paying high WAN costs with traditional carriers. Some have experienced applications slowing as users on the edge increasingly access cloud-based SaaS applications with traffic routed through head offices or centralised highly contended internet.
Others are seeing higher costs as they’re expected to manage multiple services of increased complexity, with increased security risks.
These are some of the issues SD-WAN is designed to address.
Selecting the right SD-WAN solution for a specific implementation sometimes requires a few compromises, but security should never be one of them.
There are several options for combining SD-WAN networking and advanced security, typically requiring that security is offloaded to separate box, Virtual Machine or the Cloud. There is only one solution that can truly be called Secure SD-WAN and that solution comes from Fortinet, the leader in network security.
SD-WAN is doing to enterprise WANs what cloud did to enterprise data centres almost a decade ago
