Improved application performance for a better user experience<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
For many companies, it is about keeping their business running while also preparing for the future. To achieve this, companies focus on offering their customers new and better experiences, becoming more flexible and tapping into new markets, in order to compete in a globally connected world. A reliable, secure and flexible network is one of the key enablers for this transformation. As a result, companies are increasingly turning to software-defined wide area networks (SD-WAN) to prepare their corporate network for the future. SD-WAN provides policy-based and application-aware routing over any underlying connectivity technology, including MPLS, dedicated Internet access and broadband (fixed and mobile). This means that it automatically and intelligently selects the best available path for the requirements of each application, depending on its prioritization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
SD-WAN also includes various functions that enable the improvement of application performance via simple Internet connections. While this does not solve all potential network performance issues, it does make the use of more cost-effective access technologies more practical. The ever-increasing volume of traffic between head office and branch offices and, above all, local cloud break-outs and the Internet, can be better managed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
More efficient use of available bandwidth<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Applications are becoming increasingly feature- and content-rich. At the same time, workloads are migrating from private data centers to SaaS and IaaS\/PaaS environments. Companies therefore need cost-effective ways to increase bandwidth and secure the user experience. SD-WAN automatically load balances traffic across all active connections. This makes optimal use of the available WAN bandwidth. Secondary failover connections are also used, which would otherwise remain unused, this helps to avoid expensive bandwidth upgrades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Increased security<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Security is a key consideration when transmitting business-critical traffic over shared networks such as the public Internet. SD-WAN uses strong encryption and strict access controls. This keeps your WAN traffic protected. At the same time, it enables secure Internet usage for common business applications. Thanks to centralized, policy-based orchestration, SD-WAN also improves security. It facilitates the automatic implementation of security policies at all locations. SD-WAN solutions are also increasingly being integrated into Secure Access Service Edge (SASE)<\/a> architectures. This brings together remote access, corporate networks and identity-based controls to simplify the management of user access to workloads, regardless of where your employees are located.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Greater transparency, control and flexibility<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
For companies that want to reduce network complexity and achieve faster deployment, SD-WAN offers centralized automated orchestration. This allows changes to be implemented faster without having to manually reconfigure each network device. The centralized management portal also provides a better overview of application traffic, bandwidth usage, network performance and device health. This gives companies new insights into what is happening in their IT environment, which can help with problem solving and enable better planning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
SD-WAN can also help speed up the deployment of new sites as the devices are designed to work with network technologies such as broadband or mobile communications. They can automatically retrieve their configuration as soon as they are connected, so only minimal manual settings are required.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Frequently asked questions about SD-WAN for businesses<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
What are the benefits of SD-WAN over traditional WAN solutions?<\/strong>
SD-WAN improves four key areas at once: application performance through application-aware routing, bandwidth utilization through automatic load balancing across all active connections, security through strong encryption and central policies, and transparency and control through a centralized management portal. Traditional hardware-centric WAN structures do not offer this level of flexibility. For companies, this means noticeably less effort combined with better performance.<\/p> <\/div>
How does SD-WAN improve application performance?<\/strong>
SD-WAN provides policy-based and application-aware routing over any underlying connectivity technology, such as MPLS, dedicated Internet access or broadband. It automatically and intelligently selects the best available path for each application, depending on its prioritization. This noticeably improves the user experience, especially as traffic grows between head office, branches and cloud applications. More cost-effective access technologies become more practical to use as a result.<\/p> <\/div>
How does SD-WAN make more efficient use of available bandwidth?<\/strong>
SD-WAN automatically load balances traffic across all active connections, making optimal use of the available WAN bandwidth. Secondary failover connections are also used, which would otherwise remain unused. This helps avoid expensive bandwidth upgrades, especially as applications become more feature- and content-rich and workloads migrate to SaaS and IaaS environments. This keeps the network economical even as demands increase.<\/p> <\/div>
How does SD-WAN increase network security?<\/strong>
SD-WAN uses strong encryption and strict access controls to protect business-critical traffic transmitted over shared networks such as the public Internet. Centralized, policy-based orchestration facilitates the automatic implementation of security policies at all locations. SD-WAN solutions are also increasingly integrated into SASE architectures, bringing together remote access, corporate networks and identity-based controls regardless of where employees are located.<\/p> <\/div>
What role does SD-WAN play when rolling out new sites?<\/strong>
SD-WAN speeds up the deployment of new sites, as devices are designed for network technologies such as broadband or mobile communications and automatically retrieve their configuration as soon as they are connected. Only minimal manual settings are required. Combined with centralized orchestration, changes can be rolled out company-wide faster without configuring each device individually. This significantly reduces effort during growth or branch expansion.<\/p> <\/div>
Why is a managed SD-WAN service worthwhile?<\/strong>
SD-WAN offers many benefits, but only when implementation and management are carefully planned. An experienced carrier partner like SAVECALL knows the available SD-WAN technologies in detail and designs and manages the underlying network connectivity in a vendor-agnostic way. This helps you get the maximum benefit from SD-WAN while avoiding typical pitfalls in selection and migration. SAVECALL compares suitable providers for your requirements in a vendor-neutral way.<\/p> <\/div> <\/div>\n\n\n\n
