Auto-failover and redundancy guarantees stability and QoS for your mission-critical apps.

Improved security

Built in end-to-end encryption ensures the security of your data both in-flight and in the Cloud.

Efficient cloud connectivity

Speed up access to your applications by connecting with a single hop to multiple cloud estates at ultra-low latency.

Virtualised branch offices

Access seamless Connectivity and management of remote sites, using multiple networking technologies for more advanced service delivery.

Simplified management
and AI

Take back control and manage your Network via our SD-WAN portal. Take advantage of Network analytics for instant performance optimisation.

Faster delivery of business objectives

With SD-WAN, deployment happens in days, as opposed to the 3-4 months you get with traditional MPLS. Broadband and 4G integrates seamlessly into the SD Network.

Improve application performance

Whether your mission-critical apps are hosted on premise or in the Cloud, SD-WAN will improve performance and QoS.

Software Defined Data Centre
(SD-DC)

Exponential-e's SD virtualisation starts from inside our Data Centre and runs across the entire Network, delivering speed and efficiency straight from the user to the heart of your cloud applications.

Lower Network costs

Simplify your Network by taking out the routers and firewalls at the edge. SD-WAN delivers 60% savings over MPLS.

MPLS integration - or
replace it

SD-WAN can supplement your existing MPLS Network or replace it for lower TCO.

Improve Video and Voice Apps

Contact centre, Voice and video response times are enhanced for greater end-user experience.

Easy cloud estate management

Connect and manage multiple cloud estates via a single-pane-of-glass. Our Cloud Management Platform integrates seamlessly with SD-WAN.

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).

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 SD-WAN

Exponential-e's SD-WAN 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.

Our SDN 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.

Overcome your connectivity challenges with SD-WAN

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

01
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.
02
Lack of scalability and reliability: Increased bandwidth usage due to new sites and a growing number of internet-based applications is causing operational complexity.
03
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.
04
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.
05
Security concerns and compliance requirements: Mobile users, distributed sites, and cloud applications require trusted access, consistent security policies and simplified configuration.
