SD-WAN

SD-WAN is an evolutionary approach to the WAN that offers simplified management, quick turn-up, better application performance, improved resiliency, and cost savings when compared to traditional approaches. It can replace or work with MPLS, and is delivered directly, via carriers, or via MSPs.

Desired Managed Services for SD-WAN
Initial Pro Services: deploy, configure, and fine-tune SD-WAN solution
Ongoing Managed Services: NOC support to make changes, performance reviews for optimization
Self-Service: we want to deploy and manage SD-WAN on our own
25
Do you want to bundle network and SD-WAN from one provider?
Yes, I'd like a single source for both circuits and SD-WAN.
No, I'd like to keep my SD-WAN solution completely network-agnostic.
