Managed SD-WAN

Simplify your distributed network, tackle your security and operational challenges, and maximize your return on investment with Managed SD-WAN solutions.

 

Distributed organizations face unique challenges when it comes to their networks. Branches can have vastly different broadband access types and infrastructures. This lack of unity wreaks havoc on overall network performance. Adding cloud-based applications to the mix only compounds the problem.

Software-Defined Wide Area Network, also known as SD-WAN, is the next-generation solution to solve these problems. As a trusted managed services leader, Hughes delivers on the promise of SD-WAN. The award-winning Hughes Managed SD-WAN solution transforms ordinary broadband connections into enterprise-grade, high-performance Wide Area Networks (WANs).

What Is Managed SD-WAN?

  • It is an end-to-end turnkey network that can be implemented on an existing network infrastructure quickly and easily.

  • It delivers dynamic load sharing across multiple connections for better traffic flow. At the heart of SD-WAN is the Active/Active capability to dynamically allocate traffic across two active paths.

  • It simplifies distributed networking through 24/7 WAN management, zero-touch configuration, and web-based network performance management.

  • It is agnostic to WAN transport.

Key Advantages of Managed SD-WAN

  • Industry-leading security

  • Fully managed service delivery

  • Faster processing and an improved end user experience

  • Non-stop application delivery

  • Guaranteed real-time application quality (ideal for video and VoIP)
