Optimise performance to move forward<\/h3>\n

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\u2019s business needs and market trends that focus on more latency sensitive applications have raised the bar on bandwidth requirements and quality of service.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Some typical SD-WAN use cases<\/h2>

Often technology solutions are marketed on features and functionality, which makes it difficult to\u00a0assess\u00a0options\u00a0when decisions are\u00a0being driven by business objectives. At Hughes we help you to match SD-WAN technology to\u00a0your desired business outcomes rather than by\u00a0a tick-list of features. We have put together some use cases to highlight how we do this.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

\r\n

Focus on cost efficiencies for small footprint sites<\/h3>

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<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\r\n <\/div>

\r\n

Focus on application security across local internet breakout deployments<\/h3>

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.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\r\n <\/div>

\r\n

Focus on delivering in-branch customer experience-enhancing applications<\/h3>

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.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\r\n <\/div>

\r\n

Focus on a hybrid insourced\/outsourced solution<\/h3>

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.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\r\n <\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\r\n<\/section>\n\n
