SD-WAN (Software-Defined Wide Area Networking) is the intelligent way to connect your branches, no matter where they are. Forget expensive, rigid MPLS links. Just drop in a smart router, connect it to your local internet (like business internet fibre), and you’re securely linked to your network—fully virtual and managed from one central place. No trenches. No delays. Just plug in, switch on, and scale up.
For modern enterprises, connectivity needs to be fast, flexible, and fail-proof. SD-WAN gives you:
Whether you’re a hospital group, retail chain, university, or logistics network, SD-WAN is the flexible foundation you need to grow and adapt.
SD-WAN Edge creates and terminates secured and encrypted tunnels over different types of wired or wireless underlay networks such as broadband internet, WiFi and LTE, as well as DIA and MPLS core networks.
The SD-WAN Edge also performs application-based QoS and security policy enforcement, application forwarding over one or more WAN connections, and QoS performance measurements over each WAN to determine optimal path selection.
The SD-WAN Gateway is a special instance of an SD WAN Edge that also enables sites interconnected via the SD-WAN to connect to other sites interconnected via alternative VPN technologies.
This provides physical or virtual device management for all SD-WAN Edges and SD-WAN Gateways associated with the controller.
The controller is used for configuration and activation, IP address management and pushing down policies onto SD-WAN Edges and SD-WAN Gateways.
The Service Orchestrator provides the service management of the SD-WAN service lifecycle including service fulfilment, performance, control, assurance, usage, analytics, and security and policy.
