What is SD-WAN?

Based on the principles of Software-defined networking (SDN), SD-WAN allows Network administrators to programmatically initialise, control, change, and manage Network behaviour dynamically. It’s essentially decoupling the infrastructure from the service using software-definition and network functions virtualisation (NFV).

Exponential-e's SD-WAN (Software-Defined Wide Area Network) architecture is a fully managed, hybrid, low-latency private WAN / Internet service with any-to-any connectivity to a number of services - be it Cloud, branch sites, SaaS or more. However you wish to connect your services, SD-WAN provides the flexibility to utilise multiple access technologies, which enables the agility and resilience required in today’s ever-changing world.

Our software-defined networking solutions integrate seamlessly with our homogenous layer 2 VPLS Network architecture, to apply fast and secure network management all the way from a user's device right across the Network to your data centre and Cloud infrastructure.

Why should you consider
an SD-WAN solution?

Overcome your connectivity challenges with SD-WAN

A number of different factors are contributing to the demand for SD-WAN:

Network complexity: Diverse WAN connectivity is causing complex legacy environments delivered via a multiple providers, which is having a detrimental impact on performance and cost.

Lack of scalability and reliability: Increased bandwidth usage due to new sites and a growing number of internet-based applications is causing operational complexity.

Data protection and privacy: Organisational data traffic is steadily migrating from the enterprise branch to the internet. You need the reassurance that data and Network access are fully secure.

Cost efficiencies and service delivery: Organisations are seeking cost efficiencies and they prioritise evolving service delivery requirements, especially as they adopt SaaS, IaaS, and other cloud services.

Security concerns and compliance requirements: Mobile users, distributed sites, and cloud applications require trusted access, consistent security policies and simplified configuration.
