SD-WAN Technology
As your SD-WAN technology provider we can support highly complex network models for companies with multiple branch locations
Optimise performance to move forward
We live in a new era of networking, where user experience, mobility and security are top concerns and multi-cloud deployments have become the norm. Today’s business needs and market trends that focus on more latency sensitive applications have raised the bar on bandwidth requirements and quality of service.
All of this means that multisite enterprises face challenges with network performance and complexity. And it falls upon already hard-pressed IT departments. Software defined (SD) WAN addresses these needs, as your Managed SD-WAN provider we can offer a solution that not only provides the SD-WAN technology but takes away the complexity of managing distributed networks, so valuable internal resource can be deployed more effectively.
A trusted SD-WAN provider
Hughes Network Systems Europe is a vendor-agnostic managed services and SD-WAN provider specialising in managing networks for highly distributed branch operations throughout Europe. This means we can help our customers to select, deploy and manage the optimal networking technology for their needs. We have worked hard to identify best-of-breed technologies that will help you to deliver against individual business objectives such as improving cost efficiencies while enhancing customer and employee experience.
Our established relationships with technology partners mean we can access the latest SD-WAN technology so you can be assured you are benefiting from the best possible solution to address your business needs. The bottom line is that we eliminate complexity and optimise agility, simplicity and usability to move your organisation forward.
Some typical SD-WAN use cases
Often technology solutions are marketed on features and functionality, which makes it difficult to assess options when decisions are being driven by business objectives. At Hughes we help you to match SD-WAN technology to your desired business outcomes rather than by a tick-list of features. We have put together some use cases to highlight how we do this.
-
For organisations that are looking to minimise costs across their network estate while still delivering effective, optimised connectivity, an SD-Branch solution would be a great option. With integrated platforms that cover SD-WAN, WLAN and LAN requirements, this is a cost-effective solution coupled with efficiencies in overall management overhead
-
For many businesses that are opting for lower cost internet solutions for connectivity, security at the edge is becoming increasingly important. Where this is a key business outcome, we offer SD-WAN technology with robust in-built security that has the added benefit of reducing the amount of physical hardware needed on site.
-
If your top concern is delivering enhanced on-site experiences for your customers, application availability is key. For this scenario we would recommend a solution that offers advanced traffic management including active path selection, quality of service capability and advanced prioritisation of applications to maximise availability.
-
If your organisation already has in-house networking expertise and you want to leverage those skills while still taking advantage of the benefits of outsourcing overall network management, we can also offer the perfect SD-WAN technology solution customised to these criteria.
