SD-WAN is a future technology that most IT decision makers have already adopted to vastly enhance their network infrastructures. SD-WAN is a software overlay that monitors, tests and diagnoses all components of a business communications network, all the time. It’s like an all-seeing network brain that preempts issues before they become problems. A network that is fully understood in this way can be managed and leveraged in all its combinations of pathways and traffic - so that businesses can connect securely and go about their work, on phones, on applications in and out of the cloud, without issues arising to block them. Do I Need SD-WAN?

Does your business operate out of more than one location? Do those office locations communicate over shared or dedicated phone and Internet networks? Is security on your network a prime consideration? Do some employees telecommute or work remotely? Do most of your employees use multiple cloud based applications - daily, and often all at the same time?

If you answered yes to one or more, you will benefit from SD-WAN because it makes all of the above run significantly better. We argue it saves money too because it eliminates slowdowns, shutdowns and all the pesky ‘little’ things that ‘interrupt’ workflow. You want to work smart, be productive, not stand around waiting for the conference room video screen to come back online, or your voice on the phone to stop breaking up so your client can understand what you’re saying. SD-WAN eliminates network unpredictability so you can keep working without interruptions and sustain the highest quality of service for your phone and Internet service at all times.

All SD-WAN offerings are not equal, in part because all business communications networks are not equal. Hence, SD-WAN products come with different capacities and at different price levels. While Tierzero does provision SD-WAN for any size network we specialize in a mid level offering to meet the needs of average small-to-midsize companies. No matter the scope of your business however, Tierzero’s focus is to deliver networking and security capabilities in a unified solution at a reasonable price, whilst ensuring highest application performance, consolidated management, and advanced protection against threats.

Yes. The beauty of SD-WAN is that it monitors all branches of any network even if Internet and Phone service is delivered by multiple different vendors using multiple different technologies to multiple different locations. SD-WAN oversees them all like a virtual sensory system allowing the different locations and technologies to “talk” to each other seamlessly, securely, and immediately across any given network.

There is none. Across the board SD-WAN streamlines your business communications network to avoid lag, downtime and outages. Any business using VoIP, cloud hosted applications and high speed Internet should consider adding SD-WAN to their network today.

SD-WAN starts at $75 per month, scaling up to a maximum of $350 per month depending on the breadth of the network and the number of locations.
