SD-WAN for multi-site businesses
SD-WAN is software that manages several internet connections at each site as one network, steering traffic over the best path and failing over automatically. It replaces expensive MPLS for many businesses and makes cheaper broadband reliable enough for critical apps.
What SD-WAN does
Combines fiber, cable and wireless links at each site
Sends voice and critical apps over the best-performing path
Fails over automatically when a connection drops
Gives you one dashboard for every location
SD-WAN works best alongside the right connections. See business internet options and multi-location service.
Frequently asked questions
SD-WAN vs MPLS?
MPLS is a private network with strong guarantees but high cost and long installs. SD-WAN runs over ordinary internet connections and adds traffic steering and failover, usually at lower cost. Some businesses use both during a transition.
Managed or co-managed?
Managed SD-WAN means the provider runs it for you. Co-managed lets your IT team make changes while the provider handles monitoring and support. We help you choose based on your team.
Does SD-WAN include security (SASE)?
Many providers bundle firewall and secure web access into SD-WAN, often called SASE. We compare what each includes.
