When it comes to a company’s internet connection, trying to cut costs often ends up costing even more. If you want to save money, choose a cost-efficient intranet solution and a crew of professionals to implement it.

The best intranet solution depends on the needs of the company. For a company operating in multiple business locations, SD-WAN is the perfect option. When a leased line is not an option due to cost or inconvenience, SD-WAN is easier on the wallet: it is a provider-independent solution, meaning it can be built on top of any operator’s network—or even multiple networks.

As a solution SD-WAN is also more agile, being easy to both implement and customize. Implementation can be done by your own IT personnel, as long as they have access to an internet connection and an SD-WAN device. When the intranet is up and running, it can be managed and customized easily in one place. SD-WAN can also be used to set traffic flow priorities based on your company’s needs—a CEO’s Teams meeting is often more important than listening to Spotify in the office’s recreational area.

Secure Connections

In addition to being agile, SD-WAN is also secure and reliable. Creating a redundancy to act as a backup system for the network is easy: the network owner can get connections from different operators and connect them into a single SD-WAN device. Creating an SD-WAN redundancy ensures that a single faulty device cannot paralyze the entire company.

The ability to react continuously improves security, too: SD-WAN enables intelligent devices located in remote offices to report their security status independently, without routing all traffic through a central firewall (as is often done with MPLS networks).

Network continuity can also be improved by splitting the company’s traffic flow between multiple connections. For example, high-priority VOIP traffic can be directed to the leased line while directing all other traffic to the company’s 4G connection.
