SD-WAN is a managed networking solution designed to unify and secure hybrid networks by decoupling the network control from the underlying physical hardware. It is built to sit on top of their global fiber backbone, allowing businesses to manage multiple connection types (MPLS, Broadband, LTE/5G) through a single interface.

As of 2026, the product is heavily integrated with AI-driven automation for predictive path selection and faster incident resolution.

Core Partnerships (Technology Stacks)

Versa Networks: Often used for full SASE (Secure Access Service Edge) integrations, focusing on deep security and complex routing.
Cisco (Viptela & Meraki): Viptela is typically used for high-scale, complex enterprise architectures, while Meraki is favored for ease of use and rapid deployment at branch levels.
Fortinet: Frequently selected for its built-in Next-Generation Firewall (NGFW) capabilities and ASIC-accelerated performance.

Key Features

Dynamic Path Selection: Automatically routes high-priority traffic (like VoIP or video) over the best performing link while moving background traffic to lower-cost broadband.
Centralized Orchestration: A "single pane of glass" management console allows you to push security policies or routing changes to hundreds of locations simultaneously.
Zero-Touch Provisioning (ZTP): Hardware can be shipped to a site and configured remotely once plugged in, reducing the need for on-site technicians.
Integrated Security: Includes built-in encryption (IPsec), stateful firewalls, and often expands into ZTNA (Zero Trust Network Access) and Secure Web Gateways.

Service Tiers & Management

There is flexibility in how much control the customer maintains: | Tier | Description | | :--- | :--- | | Self-Managed | The customer handles all configuration and daily policy changes via the aportal. | | Co-Managed | A shared responsibility model where, the core infrastructure and the customer manages application policies. | | Fully Managed The outsourced network team, handling design, implementation, and 24/7 proactive monitoring. |

Strategic Value

The primary differentiator is a Global Peered Network. Because they are a Tier 1 provider, their SD-WAN traffic often stays on their own fiber for longer distances compared to competitors who may rely more heavily on the public internet, resulting in lower latency and better jitter control for B2B applications.
