Lower WAN
Costs
Help reduce WAN OpEx, CapEx costs by allowing organisations to leverage less expensive internet connectivity, and by intelligently routing traffic to take advantage of the best available paths.
What is SD-WAN?
SD-WAN (Software-Defined Wide Area Network) is a technology that allows companies to connect their remote offices, data centres, and cloud networks using a software-based approach, rather than relying on expensive and inflexible traditional WAN technologies such as MPLS. With SD-WAN, companies can achieve cost savings, improved performance, and increased agility by leveraging multiple transport links, including broadband, LTE, and MPLS, to connect their sites. The software-defined approach enables companies to dynamically route their traffic across these links based on the real-time network conditions and application requirements. This ensures that critical applications receive the necessary bandwidth and performance while less critical traffic is sent across less expensive links.

Why choose Genisys
When our clients have need for a more agile solution then we often look towards SD-WAN which we are well placed to provide due to our extensive hybrid cloud hosting capabilities. One such client was in the marketing industry. They required a solution that focused on reliability and due to the remote nature of many of the sites, a traditional MPLS network was cost prohibitive.
The business-driven SDWAN solution we proposed involved a three-pronged approach of Telstra fibre, NBN FTTN and 4g SIMs for the Meraki routers. We integrated the solution with their third-party infrastructure as well as ensured QoS rules were implemented to ensure their important applications were prioritised accordingly. The primary benefits the client saw were cost related however they did see a noticeable increase in reliability as well.
