What is Software Defined WAN (SD-WAN) Technology?
Increase your team’s productivity with a cost-effective SD-WAN solution from Elite Group. Power digital transformation within your business by deploying new technologies within your cloud infrastructure, efficiently.
Software-defined Wide Area Networking allows you to utilise and manage more than one external network connection, such as MPLS, business broadband and fibre optic at a given location, based on its performance. With SD-WAN you can define which WAN link an application utilises and set up rules for which link should be used based on its performance. Streamline your IT operations and security management with an SD-WAN solution from Elite Group.
Connectivity That Keeps Up with Your Business
With the modern business now implementing remote and flexible working, the reliance of data and applications within the cloud has increased dramatically. Your IT resource needs to adapt to this increased reliance and ideally you want to adapt whilst keeping your infrastructure simple to manage.
Wide Area Networks (WAN) are vital to the infrastructure of your business IT. However, these networks can be a little unpredictable at times, which can cause disruption to your business. When it comes to transforming your business with technology, such as video communications, VoIP telephony and hosted desktops, unreliable WAN can cause costly disruption and bandwidth consumption exceeds the capacity they were designed for. When it comes to scaling your business it can also be tricky and expensive to expand your WAN capacity.
Software Defined WAN (SD-WAN) solutions optimises your bandwidth and provides a consistent connection to the cloud to boost the performance of your applications and whilst maintaining high-level security and protecting your data.
Improve Your Customer's Experience with Software Defined WAN
Once integrated, SD-WAN simplifies your WAN, delivering lower costs, bandwidth optimisation, a seamless connection to the cloud and enhances application performance without sacrificing security and data privacy.
With applications performing at peak potential, productivity and customer satisfaction are improved while consistent, enterprise-grade security keeps risk at a minimum.
