SD-WAN FAQs:

What is SD-WAN?

SD-WAN stands for a software-defined wide area network. A wide area network (WAN) is a collection of local area networks (LAN) that communicate with each other to transfer large amounts of data and provide network connectivity to a wide area. A software-defined approach makes WAN easier to deploy, operate and manage, increasing data transfer efficiencies.

Is SD-WAN secure?

Absolutely. Our SD-WAN services incorporate strong encryption, application-level security policies and data segmentation to ensure your network is protected.

Can SD-WAN improve network uptime?

Yes. We ensure your devices are set up and configured properly to provide maximum uptime availability.

How does SD-WAN differ from traditional WAN?

Traditional WAN is complex, expensive and can be difficult to manage. It also can’t deliver the connectivity essential for software as a service (SaaS) and public cloud applications, like Microsoft 365 or emerging technologies, such as virtual desktops. SD-WAN centralizes management and creates visibility that can drastically reduce bandwidth, operational costs and improves service performance.
