SD-WAN: Site Connectivity with a modern twist
Important aspects for the security of Site Connectivity solutions:
1
Increase performance & reduce costs with SD-WAN:
SD-WAN improves the performance of WAN connections through application-aware routing, load balancing and policy-based path control. At the same time, you reduce OPEX (operating expenses) through automated network management and the use of commodity broadband.
2
More flexibility & scalability without proprietary hardware: Reduce dependency on legacy systems and static network architectures. SD-WAN enables multi-transport support (e.g. MPLS, LTE, DSL) and zero-touch provisioning (ZTP) for rapid scaling. Use overlay tunnels and redundancy mechanisms for maximum reliability.
3
Centralized network management & easy implementation: Benefit from cloud-orchestrated network control with end-to-end visibility and traffic shaping. Quality of Service (QoS) policies can be defined via a central orchestration engine, while Dynamic Path Selection ensures optimal performance.
4
Optimal integration of cloud services & applications: Connect IaaS and SaaS platforms efficiently through Direct Internet Access (DIA) and Secure Edge Connectivity. SD-WAN improves the stability of real-time applications such as VoIP or video conferencing through Forward Error Correction (FEC) and packet duplication.

Advantages of SD-WAN
Respond quickly and appropriately to new business requirements
In order not to lose proximity to customers, many new branches and subsidiaries are often opened quite quickly.
Often, IT can no longer keep up with the provision of central services and network infrastructure.
With an outdated, static network infrastructure, each new branch requires a great deal of planning and implementation effort.
SD-WAN solutions contain options for eliminating these bottlenecks.
Advantages:
- Flexibility and automation in deployment
- Fast commissioning due to independence from ISPs
- Standardization of security topics such as firewall and VPN
The combination of these SD-WAN advantages enables a flexible response to new requirements and growth.
More efficiency through automation and centralized management
SD-WAN has shaken up the provider market. In addition to established providers such as Deutsche Telekom, Colt, Plusnet and Vodafone, many new players have emerged – often with innovative user guidance and better integration options.
A comparison is worthwhile – for several reasons:.
- Overview of all SD-WAN providers
- The SD-WAN hardware is designed to be installed using the “zero-touch” method. This means that a non-IT person can connect the SDWAN equipment. The configuration is then automatically transferred to the SDWAN equipment in accordance with the guidelines.
- Simple integration of SAAS and cloud providers such as Microsoft or Amazon. These platforms can be accessed directly without having to make a detour via the head office
- All settings and guidelines can be viewed and edited in a portal.
Reduction in overall IT costs
However, all the SD-WAN advantages mentioned above only come into play if costs can also be saved as a result
SD WAN solutions can help to better plan and adhere to the IT budget
- A zero-touch rollout not only saves time and capacity, but also saves IT staff time-consuming travel
- WAN upgrade costs can be contained. By using an SDWAN solution, you can find out whether the expensive MPLS infrastructure really needs to be expanded. Increasing the cheaper Internet line is often completely sufficient
- Since all settings and guidelines are managed via one platform and one console, costs and licenses for conventional tools and hardware are eliminated.
- In the past, specialists were needed for routing and security, but today this can be handled by one person.

SD-WAN – FAQs
SD-WAN (Software-Defined Wide Area Network) is a software-based networking technology that uses multiple physical internet connections such as fibre, DSL, LTE or 5G in parallel and intelligently routes traffic over the best available link. A central cloud controller monitors latency, packet loss and bandwidth in real time and automatically prioritises critical applications such as voice or Microsoft Teams. Unlike classic MPLS, SD-WAN is significantly cheaper, more flexible and faster to deploy because no carrier-owned infrastructure is required.
MPLS is a carrier-operated Layer 2/3 technology with guaranteed SLAs and high voice quality, but expensive and inflexible to scale. SD-WAN is software-based, uses multiple internet lines in parallel and enables centralised management across all sites. SD-WAN is 30 to 60 percent cheaper than MPLS, faster to deploy and cloud-ready. For absolutely critical real-time applications MPLS remains relevant, often combined with SD-WAN in a hybrid setup. Most companies are currently moving to SD-WAN or hybrid models
Leading SD-WAN providers are Cisco (Meraki, Catalyst SD-WAN), Fortinet, VMware (VeloCloud), Palo Alto Prisma SD-WAN, Versa Networks, Cato Networks, HPE Aruba (Silver Peak) and Juniper. Each vendor has strengths: Cisco for complex enterprise environments, Cato for cloud-natives with integrated SASE, Fortinet for security focus, Versa for large carrier-scale deployments. SAVECALL creates an objective vendor matrix matching company size, number of sites, cloud strategy and existing IT architecture.
Costs consist of underlay internet lines, SD-WAN licence and optionally hardware. A typical site with dual internet and a managed SD-WAN appliance ranges from 250 to 600 euros monthly, depending on bandwidth and SLA tier. Main sites with redundant hardware cost 800 to 2,500 euros. Through the SAVECALL procurement pool, list prices typically reduce by 20 to 35 percent. Overall, companies migrating from MPLS to SD-WAN usually save 30 to 60 percent of total cost.
SD-WAN provides centralised management of all sites through a cloud console, automatic routing by application priority, significantly higher bandwidth at lower cost and zero-touch deployment for new sites. Cloud applications such as Microsoft 365, AWS or Salesforce are connected directly through internet breakouts instead of central MPLS hubs. Resilience increases through parallel internet lines with automatic failover. Scaling happens in hours rather than weeks. Most companies amortise the investment within 12 to 24 months.
A typical SD-WAN migration takes 4 to 9 months from contract to last site. Phase 1 (design and contract conclusion) takes 6 to 12 weeks, Phase 2 (pilot operation at 2 to 3 sites) another 4 to 8 weeks. Phase 3 (rollout of all sites) scales with the number: typically 5 to 15 sites per week with zero-touch deployment. For MPLS replacement, the old network runs in parallel until full acceptance. SAVECALL handles project management, carrier coordination and user training end-to-end.
