SD-WAN
SOFTWARE DEFINED WAN
Have you heard of SD-WAN? SD-WAN is becoming the mainstream choice for many organizations. Does using Internet facing circuits instead of private circuits sound intimidating? It doesn’t have to. Covenant Technology partners with the world’s leading SD-WAN providers, and can address concerns about security, redundancy, quality of experience, and more.
Your business requires robust communication and data network for its mission-critical applications and services. Traditionally that has been accomplished by connecting private sites with MPLS or other private circuits. SD-WAN provides solutions that not only meet or exceed those offered by traditional WAN technologies, but can provide additional capabilities, such as redundancy, application acceleration, dynamic bandwidth to large cloud providers, and more. Map and scale to your business objectives faster and more effectively, with SD-WAN.
WHY CHOOSE SD-WAN?
SD-WAN Provides Your Business
- Best overall value and functionality
- Agility and speed when adding locations
- Redundancy, scalability, and fault tolerance
- Quality of experience for critical applications
- Simplification of operations
- Connectivity to other cloud-based solutions
- Dynamic bandwidth
- Cost-effective upgrades
- Support whenever you need it
- Application acceleration and optimization
BANDWIDTH AGGREGATION
SD-WAN allows companies to utilize multiple Internet circuits, balance the load across them, and deliver a solid quality of experience. Aggregating the Internet circuits allows for large amounts of bandwidth, while securely connecting to additional private locations. Additional sites can be added in very short order once Internet access is acquired. What’s not to like—fast deployment, redundancy, secure connections, and solid quality of experience?
REDUNDANCY
SD-WAN solutions can combine your MPLS and Internet connections, so they don’t sit idle.
SECURITY
Businesses appreciate the cost associated with Internet circuits but worry about security if transmitting sensitive data. SD-WAN provides secure connections between sites and reduced complexities – a benefit of as-a-Service solutions!
DYNAMIC BANDWIDTH
Do you utilize or plan to utilize other cloud services, such as AWS, Azure or Google? Many SD-WAN providers connect directly to many of these cloud providers. Also, there are options that allow bandwidth to grow dynamically as your cloud needs change.
QUALITY OF EXPERIENCE
SD-WAN solutions can provide prioritization to the mission-critical applications your business demands. Typically, providers choose the best circuit based on real-time statistics giving priority to video, voice, and other business applications. SD-WAN solutions optimize the traffic, reducing overall latency, jitter and response times, and accelerate the applications themselves.
NETWORK FUNCTION VIRTUALIZATION
(NFV)
We can also provide partnerships with companies that can virtualize out many network functions, such as firewalls, VPNs, load balancing, application acceleration, etc.

SD-WAN FAQ
Is SD-WAN the same as WAN optimization?
WAN optimization and SD-WAN both reduce bandwidth use. But SD-WAN provides solutions that meet or exceed those offered by traditional WAN technologies:
- Connectivity to other cloud-based solutions
- Dynamic bandwidth
- Application acceleration and optimization
- Support whenever you need it
Is cost the only benefit compared to MPLS?
Yes, there are cost-effective upgrades when choosing SD-WAN. But the benefits of SD-WAN are far greater:
- Best overall value and functionality
- Agility and speed when adding locations
- Simplification of operations
- Redundancy, scalability and fault tolerance
- Quality of experience for critical applications
Will SD-WAN will replace Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS)?
SD-WAN allows companies to utilize multiple internet circuits, balance the load across them and provides a solid quality of experience.
SD-WAN will reduce reliance on private MPLS links, but not replace it. As long as the quality of service is needed, MPLS will be needed.
