SD-WAN for distributed corporate networks

· Blog

Companies with multiple offices traditionally use MPLS links — reliable but expensive and inflexible. SD-WAN creates encrypted tunnels over regular internet with intelligent routing.

How SD-WAN works

Intelligent routing selects the best channel for each traffic type: voice — lowest latency, backup — cheapest channel. Management via a single cloud console.

Platform selection

Cisco Meraki — for companies with Meraki infrastructure. Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN — enterprise with complex topologies. Fortinet — integrated SD-WAN + NGFW.

How SL Global Service solves this

SGS designs SD-WAN on Cisco Meraki and Catalyst: network audit, topology design, deployment, QoS policies, and 24/7 monitoring via Meraki Dashboard.

“MPLS costs 3–5 times more than SD-WAN at the same bandwidth. And a new office connects in days, not months.”

Yurii Syvytskyi, member of the Supervisory Board, Intecracy Group

If you spend more than 30% of your network budget on MPLS — SD-WAN pays for itself in 12 months.
