What is SD-WAN?

SD-WAN

A Software-Defined Wide Area Network, or SD-WAN, is a virtual WAN that uses software to manage and optimise network performance. It securely connects sites, giving you operational flexibility and centralised control.

What does sd-wan do?

Simplify, scale, seamlessly secure

Secure SD-WAN simplifies network management because you get networking, security, monitoring and maintenance from one tech provider. SD-WAN was created with the cloud in mind, it connects directly to the cloud from any location without the need for traditional infrastructure.

Our unified platform provides built-in firewall protection from Fortinet, a Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ leader. This is network security built for the complexities of modern businesses, and the sophistication of modern cyberthreats.

Effortless at every level

Enjoy total accountability from network and security experts. Leave multi-site management to us, while you get back to business.

Unbeatable security

With a built-in Fortinet firewall, your business stays protected against evolving cyber threats. Our integrated approach simplifies networking and security management into a unified solution.

Future-ready networking

Whether embracing cloud or enhancing security, we provide flexibility for a future-ready infrastructure. And because our SD-WAN is powered by Fortinet, it’s a step towards a multisite SASE solution.

Ultimate accountability

We built our own network from the ground up. From spade in the ground to router installation, we own, manage and maintain the infrastructure, so we have complete control over monitoring and fixes.

Engineering excellence

Our own in-house civil, infrastructure and network engineers create end-to-end control of connections, from order through to activation.

Could your business benefit?

SD-WAN takes the strain out of network management. It’s a perfect solution for work-from-anywhere scenarios and businesses that don’t have dedicated internal resource.

Kind words from our clients.

“We get amazing service from our fibre, but it’s important for us that we have that backup with a radio wireless product. I’ve not had a circumstance where Elevate has not been able to deliver.”

“It was either go with a provider who could get us set up in months, or one that was ready to go tomorrow. It was a no-brainer. We’ve had a really seamless service, delivered exactly as we were told it would be.”
