Wide Area Network
Next-Generation WAN
For Cloud & Branch Connectivity
Your wide-area network must now stretch across cloud, branches, data centers, and remote users. But legacy WANs buckle under:
- Spiraling MPLS / private link costs
- Poor performance & latency for cloud / SaaS
- Rigid routing that can’t adapt dynamically
- Lack of visibility & control across the WAN fabric
- Fragmented security at each site or link
- Complexity in onboarding & managing many sites
When your WAN can’t keep up, business suffers: app slowdowns, outages, security gaps, and operations overhead explode.
Key WAN Challenges
Escalating MPLS / Private Link Costs
Traditional WAN models rely heavily on expensive private circuits (MPLS, leased lines) — inflexible and costly.
Cloud / SaaS Latency & Suboptimal Paths
Backhauling all branch traffic to data centers before reaching SaaS / cloud causes delay and congestion.
Rigid Routing & Poor Fail-over
Fixed routing, manual path assignments, slow recovery in outages or link failures.
Lack of End-to-End Visibility & Analytics
You lack a holistic view of traffic, performance, link issues, or bottlenecks across your WAN.
Distributed Security Fragmentation
Each site has its own firewall / security stack, inconsistent policy, and weak lateral enforcement.
Slow Site Deployment & Operational Overhead
Rolling out new branches manually is error-prone, slow, and costly.
Subnetik Solutions
Escalating MPLS / Private Link Costs
Use broadband, 4G/5G, or hybrid underlays, with SD-WAN overlay to aggregate and manage them intelligently.
Dramatically lower your WAN connectivity expense while increasing flexibility.
Cloud / SaaS Latency & Suboptimal Paths
Provide “on-ramp” to clouds / SaaS (direct breakouts), dynamically route traffic based on real-time conditions.
Users connect fast to Office 365, Salesforce, AWS/Azure — without painful detours.
Rigid Routing & Poor Fail-over
Application-aware routing + real-time path switching (failover, load balancing, jitter mitigation).
Network adapts automatically — no manual intervention when failure or congestion strikes.
Lack of End-to-End Visibility & Analytics
Centralized dashboard, real-time telemetry, AI/ML analytics, alerts, trend insights.
Know what’s happening before users complain. Diagnose faster and more confidently.
Distributed Security Fragmentation
Integrated end-to-end segmentation, consistent policy enforcement at the edge, zero-trust controls.
Uniform security posture across your distributed network — risks are contained.
Slow Site Deployment & Operational Overhead
Zero-touch provisioning, policy templates, orchestration, software-defined operations.
Add new sites quickly at scale, with minimal field effort.
Why This SD-WAN Approach Works
- Cost Efficiency + Agility — Replace or augment expensive private circuits with flexible broadband / LTE and smart overlays.
- Cloud-First Connectivity — Direct, optimized paths to cloud and SaaS with on-ramp logic (no backhaul drag).
- Resilient & Adaptive — Real-time path switching, multipath, load balancing make your WAN self-healing.
- Operational Simplicity — Centralized orchestration, templates, automation reduce manual toil.
- Uniform Security — Consistent segmentation, threat protection, zero-trust across branches and WAN links.
- Performance & Insight — Deep analytics, telemetry, SLA enforcement across geo-distributed links.
Also: deployments based on SD-WAN often see operational improvements such as ~33% more efficient management, ~45% reduced latency, and ~94% less unplanned downtime in benchmark studies.
