What is Why Do I Need SD-WAN?

Managed SD-WAN is a network solution that centralizes the control layer and moves it into the cloud.
SD-WAN’s aggregation of public internet resources creates the type of performance and security associated with private networking, at a lower cost and with usability benefits specifically tuned to Software-as-a-Service applications. With so many mission-critical tools being sold on a SaaS model today, this could be crucial for your overall IT operations.
When you invest in SD-WAN from Sangoma, you aggregate and maximize all of your bandwidth resources, no matter their size or type.
As you grow your business, you will face new networking needs.

Cost Savings & Maximized Bandwidth
With bandwidth demands only increasing in the era of SaaS-based application usage, your organization needs a way to get maximum computing resources without breaking the budget. A managed SD-WAN configuration from Sangoma aggregates all types of access, making them a seamless part of your network. This includes:
- Private Connections
- Public Internet Resources
- Wireless and Satellite Networks
This SD-WAN offering is truly access agnostic, allowing you to fulfill all your business needs and incorporate every one of your locations. At locations with poor connectivity, where high-speed private networking is not an option, you can still secure reliable bandwidth by aggregating connections. The prices for high-speed private networking equipment also tend to be far higher than the resources you can aggregate into a reliable SD-WAN network.
Centralized management for your network
Managing your entire network through a single pane of glass is a major source of convenience for your organization, especially if you operate from many locations. The centralized cloud portal is not just universal, it is intuitive and easy for your team to use.
This single interface allows IT stakeholders to set policies and prioritize applications from wherever they are. This applies whether they are managing connectivity at their own locations or creating universal settings for the whole company. It’s even possible to drill down to a single application, device, or user profile and oversee that resource individually.
The deep analytic tools associated with the managed SD-WAN solution are available through the centralized cloud portal. A user employing these analytics can view present and historical performance data at a general or specific level, launching queries that will help enable greater control of the network, troubleshoot issues, and deliver performance benefits.
Simplified network deployments
One of the most challenging parts of networking is the process of adding new locations or devices to the network — at least, that is a challenge when you’re not using Sangoma’s managed SD-WAN solution. Features include consolidated form factors and zero-touch provisioning, meaning that IT managers can standardize their network devices across locations, with no hassle and a minimum of downtime.
One of the constants regarding networking is that there will always be a need for change. Deploying new assets is a common issue, and one that SD-WAN prepares you to deal with, provided you have the right partner.
The process of adding traditional edge devices to a private business network is costly and complex due to the difficulty and expense of procuring diverse equipment. SD-WAN takes the guesswork out, and Fonality’s managed SD-WAN makes this painless for your team.
Robust quality of service and resilience
The quality of the connection to your business-critical applications is one of the primary reasons to select SD-WAN over a conventional on-premise configuration. Many features within Sangoma’s managed offering can enhance your connectivity.
- Seamless failover enabled by automatic load balancing ensures that when
one connection fails, app performance will not automatically drop. - Application priority ensures that the most critical applications receive the
highest level of service, keeping connections to software such as video chat and collaboration tools robust when there is network congestion affecting some internal resources. - Forward error correction automatically selects the right path for data
packets to keep key software tools active without interruption. - QoS rules are set by the user, meaning you can determine which applications and services matter most to your business. Traffic such as voice and video call data can receive priority, keeping official communications channels open and maximizing the performance of the solutions that matter most.
