SD-WAN | Virgin Media O2 Business

or request a callback

A smart solution specifically designed to connect all your systems across all your locations, a software-defined wide area network (SD-WAN) is the way forward.

With seamless integration of multiprotocol label switching (MPLS), broadband and 4G or long-term evolution (LTE), you create a flexible, cost-effective network with centralised management and real-time traffic monitoring.

FAQs

What should you look for in SD-WAN?

Not all SD-WANs are equal. You should be looking for one that’s agile and secure, where you can make changes without needing your network supplier. You also want as thin a wan edge as possible, with software that includes firewalling and Enterprise-grade security straight out of the box. It should all be quick and easy to deploy too.

Can SD-WAN replace MPLS?

Inflexible and expensive, MPLS is legacy tech we used at the turn of the century and it hasn’t evolved since. SD-WAN is more secure and agile than legacy MPLS - and a lot cheaper too.

What is SD-WAN architecture?

SD-WAN works differently to a traditional MPLS network. By separating network management from the hardware, traffic can be intelligently steered across the network, maximising performance.

Is SD-WAN secure?

Invest in SD-WAN managed services and you see the benefits of cloud tech without putting your organisation or customers at risk. Our managed SD-WAN service uses traffic encryption for end-to-end protection and includes data analytics with embedded security as standard.

Does SD-WAN replace IP VPN?

SD-WAN is a VPN which delivers end-to-end encryption IPsec. Both are very secure, but SD-WAN can self-heal without help from your service provider.

What is dynamic SD-WAN?

Dynamic SD-WAN allows you to quickly and easily adapt with your organisation without relying on your service provider for changes. SD-WAN can also steer around problems without help, thanks to agile dynamic path selection (known as the ability to self-heal).

What is over the top SD-WAN?

Because SD-WAN separates management from the hardware, SD-WAN can run on someone else’s infrastructure at a software layer only.
