Software Defined Wide Area Network (SD-WAN)

Software Defined Network SD-WAN

Wide area networks are moving forward faster than ever before with the significant benefits enabled by Software-Defined WAN technology.

TForce is a leader in Software-Defined WAN (SD-WAN) solution & one of the substantial implementor in Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. TForce rollout thousands of legacy WAN branches to SD-WAN overlay solution in GCC.

With so much industry hype around SD-WAN, it can be difficult to know where to start. TForce has been working with clients since 2016 assessing and deploying next generation technologies such as SD-WAN. Across all our client projects, we always start by focusing on the business requirements, rather than the technology itself.

What is SD-WAN?

A Software-defined Wide Area Network (SD-WAN) is a virtual WAN architecture that allows enterprises to leverage any combination of transport services — including MPLS, LTE and broadband internet services — to securely connect users to applications.

An SD-WAN uses a centralized control function to securely and intelligently direct traffic across the WAN. This increases application performance, resulting in enhanced user experience, increased business productivity and reduced costs for IT.

Advantages of SD-WAN

Simplify Branch Network

Provision branch offices faster with automated zero-touch deployment, simplified configuration, orchestration and on-going motnitoring with centralized troubleshooting tools. Simplify branch infrastructure with the ability to insert network services on the branch edge, in the cloud or in the regional and enterprise data centers.

Reduce Cost

Deliver Hybrid WAN with ease and enable branch offices with ordinary broadband as enterprise-grade WAN. Reduce hardware-delivery costs by choosing from deployment options such as virtual-machine on a commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) device, virtual machine on an existing x86-based router or a purpose-built VeloCloud Edge device.

Deliver Branch Agility

Enable multiple links, devices and services to coexist and interoperate with incumbent solutions and make the branch agile. APIs enable integration into various management and reporting systems deployed by enterprises today.

SD-WAN simplifies network operation using a single multi-service networking platform that address current needs and can easily scale to accommodate future growth.
