SD-WANaaS

Maximum cloud app performance
Central control with distributed security
SASE options to secure off-net devices
Active-active links with application aware routing
Zero touch provisioning for rapid roll-out
Great for companies with a heavy cloud focus and/or frequent site additions
Provides complete flexibility for uplink type and service provider*

* Despite this flexibility, Next Telecom strongly advises sourcing all links internally. This way we can guarantee true path diversity and ongoing performance management of all services.

How does SD-WAN as-a-Service work?

In SD-WANaaS, Next Telecom as a Managed Service Provider (MSP) helps your organization create an efficient SD-WAN architecture. The business has a dedicated relationship for communication and addressing issues. We also offer insights into performance, improvement areas, upgrades, and more using the FortiManager + FortiMonitor Cloud Management Portal.

SD-WANaaS uses a centralised control function to direct traffic across WAN dynamically. Next Telecom provides you with an intuitive interface for monitoring and managing the network. You can also access the centralised management through a cloud-based portal.

The system automatically routes traffic along paths like the MPLS, broadband internet, or connections like 4G or 5G. This allows your businesses to quickly adapt to changing network conditions, thereby ensuring improved performance for critical applications.

With SD-WANaaS, businesses do not need to bother about the complexity of the underlying infrastructure like the physical connections between sites. We handle all these aspects to build you a resilient network infrastructure.

In short, Next Telecom SD-WANaaS now brings the benefits of Secure Access, Cloud Web Security along with FortiCARE Support.

What are the benefits of SD-WANaaS?

SD-WANaaS has many benefits when compared to managed SD-WAN:

Benefits

Seamless failover between multiple links. SD-WAN allows clients to run multiple Internet connections across different technologies (fibre, nbn, 4G, satellite, fixed wireless) and enables seamless, fast failover between those links.
Intelligent application aware traffic routing. SD-WAN can make intelligent routing decisions based on application, for example prioritising low latency links for real-time traffic while using high-capacity links for large data transfers.
Uniform and centralised security policy. SD-WAN uses a central management platform to configure and distribute security profiles to all sites, enabling easy, low effort control over your organisations network security
Low effort, standardised deployments. Expanding to a new site? SD-WAN allows you to easily add new nodes to your existing network, retaining security and routing configuration, so your new site will be up and running with minimal effort.
Improved cloud performance. SD-WAN allows your users to access cloud applications directly over the Internet without compromising your security. Gain the benefit of distributed cloud applications without creating gaps in your security.
