SD WAN as a Service

Learn to love your WAN! According to industry analyst Gartner, most enterprises hate their Wide Area Network. They’re expensive to run and suffer from long lead times to set up and modify.

SD WAN (Software Defined WAN) changes the game, enabling business customers to cope with the explosion in bandwidth demand by combining dedicated data connections with less expansive broadband links in their wide area network.

Colt is leveraging an intelligent SD WAN as a service platform to manage which data goes over the internet versus which data stays on private networks. The end result is that a hybrid network is formed where non critical data is offloaded to a secured internet tunnel, freeing up MPLS bandwidth for your business critical data, efficiently increasing the total bandwidth to your branch sites.

All configuration options can be managed by the customer, significantly reducing network provider management complexity. To see how global SD WAN enables affordable high bandwidth in the WAN click here to watch Peter Coppens, Head of Ethernet & IP Portfolio at Colt talk at SDN and OpenFlow world.
