PART 4: WHAT COMPONENTS ARE USED IN OUR SOLUTIONS ?

We design our solutions according to your exact requirements.

SDWAN Solutions introduces choice and bespoke network design, giving you the network that your company needs right now, and the flexibility to mould, shape and grow as your business adapts to change.

Every aspect of the solution is selected for you following a detailed technical consultation as standard. With so many approved and tested modules, services and technologies available in our portfolio, our bespoke design service and experience, is difficult to match.

We understand that the world, and therefore your business in it, is an ever-changing place, so our solutions flex and grow with your business. Our component solution model of separating software from hardware enables updates without changing the entire system.

 

“The solution you have today will probably be very different from the one you will have in 18 months time – our solutions flex and adapt as you do”

” Separating the hardware component from the software and security elements means you can replace any of them without replacing the whole solution “

Our SD-WAN Component Modules

Our technical design teams use the following main components to design a solution tailored to your exact business needs:

SD-WAN VENDOR: All of our approved SD-WAN vendors  scored over 85% in our internal SD-WAN functionality testing programme – an extensive process that ensures the vendor technology we propose offers true SD-WAN functionality and is fit for purpose. No two vendor technologies are the same which is why it’s crucial that we align the correct vendor technology to your requirements.

HARDWARE PLATFORM: Our SD-WAN vendor software can be deployed on physical hardware or virtual platforms. We developed our exclusive VENA and VECTA hardware ranges to run all of our vendor software and deliver the business grade performance and reliability your business demands. We can also supply solutions and services using OEM vendor hardware and mix different platforms within the same solution, if required.

ACCESS TECHNOLOGIES & CONNECTIVITY PROVIDERS: Our solutions are designed at a site level offering the full range of access technologies, from MPLS right through to satellite, sourced from over 1952 telecom suppliers across the globe to ensure every site in your solution has access to the best available technology and services. Our exclusive RE-TECH guarantee keeps your solution up to date as and when new technologies become available – your solution will always be cutting edge!

INSTALLATION & MANAGEMENT OPTIONS: We offer 3 installation options and three ongoing management options to suit your preferred deployment and support requirements. Our co-managed option provides the best of both worlds, giving you complete visibility and access to make changes to your solution when required knowing that we are there 24 x 7 x 365 to assist or make the changes for you, should you so wish.

MULTI-CLOUD & THIRD PARTY SOLUTIONS: Seamlessly connecting your business and users to single or multi-cloud environments and 3rd party services is an integral part of our solution design, and ensures your business adapts and grows without restriction, in an everchanging world. 

SECURITY: Including security at every edge, provided on a single device, with the SD-WAN component, integrating seamlessly with a cloud security solution, the inbuilt SD-WAN security or an existing security solution is business as usual with our solution design.
