Expereo SD-WAN Product Overview
Expereo’s SD-WAN solution is designed to optimize, secure, and simplify the management of wide-area networks (WANs) for enterprises of all sizes, particularly those with multiple or individual locations globally.
What Expereo SD-WAN Does
Expereo’s SD-WAN technology enables organizations to transition from traditional MPLS networks to more flexible, cost-effective, and high-bandwidth solutions using fixed Internet, broadband, and mobile connectivity. This solution integrates seamlessly with cloud optimization, global Internet services, and enhanced security features, making it an ideal choice for businesses looking to improve network performance, reduce costs, and enhance security.
Key Features and Functionality
Centralized Management and Control
Expereo’s SD-WAN offers centralized management, allowing for the secure and intelligent direction of traffic across the WAN. This centralized control function simplifies network management, optimization, and security.
Application Awareness and Prioritization
The solution recognizes and prioritizes traffic for critical applications, ensuring optimal performance and reducing latency, packet loss, and jitter. This feature is crucial for maintaining high-quality service for mission-critical applications.
Cost Optimization
By leveraging cost-effective broadband services alongside traditional MPLS circuits, Expereo’s SD-WAN significantly reduces operational costs. This hybrid approach allows businesses to benefit from the reliability of MPLS and the cost-efficiency of broadband.
Enhanced Security
Expereo’s SD-WAN integrates robust security features, including encryption, secure tunneling, firewalls, and intrusion prevention. These features protect data and communications from external and internal threats, ensuring a secure network environment.
Flexible WAN Connectivity
The solution supports multiple types of underlay transport options such as MPLS, broadband, DIA, and 4G/5G LTE. This flexibility ensures reliable connectivity by automatically rerouting traffic to available paths in case of link failures, minimizing downtime and ensuring continuous access to critical applications.
Mobile Broadband for Business
Expereo’s Mobile Broadband for Business uses 4G-enabled routers and ready-to-use data SIM cards from multiple mobile operators. This feature provides primary, underlay, or failover connectivity, especially useful for remote or temporary locations. It includes 4G connectivity with 5G coming soon, VPN and GRE support, optional static public IP addressing, and cloud-based management & reporting.
Enhanced Internet Solution
Expereo’s Enhanced Internet solution uses AI technology to constantly review and select the best-performing network paths for traffic. This ensures that SD-WAN always has the optimal network conditions, even for cross-continental and cloud-based traffic, mimicking the performance of MPLS over Internet-based networks.
Global Reach and Support
Expereo’s SD-WAN is supported by an extensive global IP backbone with over 30 Points of Presence (PoPs) worldwide and partnerships with global vendors like Cisco and VMware. This allows for 24/7 global support across more than 190 countries, catering to over 14,000 managed customer locations.
Managed Services
Expereo offers a fully managed SD-WAN service, including network design, CPE delivery and installation, migration and integration, incident resolution, network issue management, and ongoing support. This comprehensive service ensures that the entire lifecycle of the SD-WAN network is managed efficiently.
Additional Benefits
- Performance Optimization: Expereo’s SD-WAN combines Global Internet, Enhanced Internet, and Managed Services to optimize network performance, ensuring faster downloads/uploads, uninterrupted access to cloud applications, and improved employee productivity.
- Service Assurance: While Expereo does not provide a traditional SLA, they offer Service Assurance with regular reports on uptime, performance, service delivery, and capacity planning.
