SD-WAN Assessment Services

Are you thinking about offering SD-WAN deployment services or perhaps introducing SD-WAN into your business enterprise? If so, we can help, with our engineers ready to provide expert SD-WAN Assessment services.

It’s fair to say that SD-WAN can provide several benefits to service providers and enterprises alike. Service providers can benefit from a fresh level of demand for modern technology that offers a wealth of benefits to businesses on the market today. Particularly in an economic climate where companies are constantly racing to be faster and more efficient than their competitors. At the same time, your companies themselves could benefit from SD-WAN due to the high level of agility and increased levels of security. It also ensures that there is an easy option for connecting remote locations to typical branches, without the high costs.

However, there are also challenges or business keen to implement SD-WAN into their business model and service providers keen to offer it to their clients. It’s important to consider the individual infrastructure of the company and what benefits they are hoping to gain from the new network set-up. At the same time, you need to consider how the system is going to be managed and indeed deployed. It’s even worth thinking about the right vendor because there are quite a few on the market.

Some vendors suggest SD-WAN is a DIY solution that can be handled by the enterprise itself. However, whether this is the case is largely going to depend on the size of the business and the expertise of the IT staff. Problems like this can stop companies implementing SD-WAN, but SD-WAN assessment services can provide the solution to this issue.

In House or Delivered as a Service?

Another key consideration is whether SD-WAN should be handled in-house or provided as a service. Enterprises may favor the former to provide saving on expenses. However, there are issues to be aware of here. Originally, it was quite common for enterprises operating on a global level to complete a network infrastructure in house. This ensures that they could easily and effectively determine the correct application and data for individual employees. The implementation might also be easier at the edge too. However, times have changed because now businesses need to scale, particularly when operating on a global level.

As such, it’s important to start to think about what happens when dealing with various providers or handling multiple MPS contractors and ISP. This can also make integration more difficult, particularly with new mergers and acquisitions. This requires new networks to be joined together or managed separately.

With a typical service model, it’s possible to consume a network in the same form as an enterprise would AWS or a cloud service. It means that systems are far faster to deploy. This means that enterprises don’t need to wait for hardware at each particular branch or need to worry about setting up legacy infrastructure.
