Frequently Asked Questions

What is SD-WAN?
SD-WAN (Software-Defined Wide Area Network) is a technology that uses software to intelligently route traffic across multiple connection types — broadband, fiber, LTE, and MPLS — based on real-time conditions. It improves application performance, reduces WAN costs, simplifies multi-site management, and provides built-in security features. SD-WAN is replacing traditional MPLS networks for most organizations.
How is SD-WAN different from MPLS?
MPLS provides dedicated, private circuits with guaranteed performance but at premium cost and with limited flexibility. SD-WAN uses any available internet connection and applies intelligent routing and encryption to achieve similar reliability at a fraction of the cost. SD-WAN also offers easier multi-site management, faster deployment, and better cloud application performance. Most organizations save 30-50% by migrating from MPLS to SD-WAN.
What is SASE?
SASE (Secure Access Service Edge) combines SD-WAN networking with cloud-delivered security services — including firewall-as-a-service, secure web gateway, CASB, and zero trust network access — into a single platform. SASE simplifies architecture by converging networking and security, reduces the number of vendors you manage, and provides consistent security policy enforcement for all users regardless of location.
How do you choose a business internet provider?
Evaluate providers based on available service types (fiber, cable, fixed wireless), bandwidth options, SLA guarantees (uptime, latency, jitter), pricing structure (including hidden fees), contract flexibility, and local support quality. Always get quotes from multiple providers — pricing varies dramatically even for the same service area. Consider redundant connections from different providers for business-critical locations.
What is network as a service (NaaS)?
NaaS is a subscription model where you consume networking capabilities — switching, routing, Wi-Fi, SD-WAN, and security — as a managed service rather than purchasing and maintaining your own equipment. NaaS shifts networking from capital expenditure to operational expenditure, includes hardware refresh cycles, and provides expert management. It's particularly valuable for organizations with limited networking staff or rapidly changing requirements.
