What is SD-WAN?

SD-WAN (Software-Defined Wide Area Network) is a modern networking technology that simplifies how businesses connect multiple locations.

Traditional networks often rely on complex and costly infrastructure. SD-WAN replaces this with a smarter software-based solution that allows all your branches to connect through secure internet links.

A specialised edge device is installed at each site, which connects to your internet service and securely links the location to your corporate network. From there, the entire network can be monitored, managed, and optimised from a central platform.

The result is a flexible and scalable network that can grow with your business.

Service Components of Our SD-WAN Solution

Edge

The SD-WAN Edge device establishes secure, encrypted connections across various wired and wireless network types, including broadband internet, Wi-Fi, LTE, as well as dedicated connections like DIA and MPLS networks.

It also intelligently manages application traffic by applying quality-of-service (QoS) and security policies, ensuring business-critical applications receive priority. The SD-WAN Edge continuously monitors the performance of each WAN connection and automatically directs traffic through the most efficient and reliable path available.

Gateway

The SD-WAN Gateway functions as a specialised SD-WAN Edge that allows sites within the SD-WAN network to securely communicate with locations connected through other VPN technologies. This enables seamless integration between SD-WAN environments and existing network infrastructures, ensuring smooth connectivity across different network types.

Controller

The SD-WAN Controller is responsible for managing all SD-WAN Edge devices and Gateways across the network, whether they are deployed as physical or virtual appliances.

It enables centralised configuration and activation, manages IP addressing, and distributes network and security policies to all connected SD-WAN Edge devices and Gateways, ensuring consistent performance and control across the entire network.

Service Orchestrator

The Service Orchestrator manages the full lifecycle of the SD-WAN service. This includes service provisioning, performance monitoring, network control, and ongoing service assurance.

It also provides insights through usage reporting and analytics, while managing security and policy enforcement to ensure the network operates efficiently, securely, and reliably.
