With software-defined wide area networks (SD-WAN) you connect all your sites and locations to your company network, using software to manage the connection. This gives you options you never had before, flexibly balancing cost, availability and performance. It’s the smart way to build your network.
| SD-WAN for speed: one connection not performing? Just switch |
| SD-WAN for security: protect your data, independent of your connections |
| SD-WAN for cost reduction: use existing connections more efficiently, replace expensive providers with cheaper alternatives |
Using SD-WAN, you have your own virtual network infrastructure that you can build and control in software, regardless of the underlying technology. SD-WAN can connect networks by using combinations of various connection types, such as DSL, cable, 5G or fiber, and various connectivity options, such as MPLS, mobile networks and broadband. But the beauty of it is that you don’t need to know anything about the technology. Any business user can see and understand how we build, manage and optimize connections.
Networking for a multi-site organization can be complex and expensive. And while cloud computing and hybrid work take an ever-increasing bite out of your network capacity, you have to work harder to keep everything performing and secure. The first thing SD-WAN will do is eliminate your dependency on expensive MPLS services. Next, it will give you endless flexibility to find the best connection for:
| Online meetings with no latency or hiccups |
| Easy upscaling and downscaling |
| Lower operational costs and more cost insight |
| Better security, from datacenter to device and everywhere else |
| More efficient use of your expensive bandwidth |
SD-WAN with Teridion
Connecting through SD-WAN means you use public web infrastructure to build your company network. As efficient and flexible as this is, it can make network performance unpredictable, especially when data traverses long distances and multiple internet service providers (ISPs). Using the Teridion ‘internet overlay network’, we improve internet traffic performance. We use over 500 Points of Presence (POP) provided by Teridion, plus their proprietary networking protocol to connect you at the speed you need. Thanks to our close cooperation with Teridion, we can start a new POP within minutes, right where you need it.

Connecting to China
Deploying a good WAN in mainland China is a huge challenge. To get around the restrictions China imposes, you generally needed carrier circuits or MPLS networks to your Chinese locations. Expensive, inflexible solutions with long lead times. Using technology and services by our partner Teridion, we can get around these problems and access mainland China through broadband internet connections. This gives you blazing fast file transfers, flawless voice and video sessions, great flexibility and overall performance on par with MPLS at a fraction of the cost. This solution is fully MIIT/CDTIA compliant.

We provide SD-WAN as a managed service, as this is the only way to give you the full benefits of this complex technology. It also enables us to combine SD-WAN with our other services like SASE, secure local networks and ISP brokerage and build you the perfect, worry-free network environment in a clear, perfectly supported and flexible as-a-service model.
Traditional networking will never handle the massive current growth in bandwidth used. Nor will it deal with the shift towards much more unpredictable traffic patterns. Time to start thinking about solutions. With our SD-WAN offerings, we unite technologies from different suppliers to form a virtual overlay for all connections. This makes them easy to manage and lets you pick the most cost-effective option for all your sites in all scenarios. With your client ambassador as your ‘single point of contact’ (SPOC), you will always know where to go with questions and changes, and they will be able to implement your specifications quickly because of the flexibility of our solution.
