How does Managed WAN work?

Managed WAN involves delivery of physical circuits to your site(s) and configuration of a network device, and Customer Premises Equipment (CPE).

The Managed WAN service is designed to provide seamless and transparent access to the rest of the network.

We’ll work with you to understand your requirements and propose a suitable deployment of Managed WAN Solutions - with appropriate access option(s), backup line(s) and bandwidths!

For all tail circuits, bandwidth options range from 10Mbps to 10Gbps and can be provided through the following methods:

Ethernet over Fibre to the Cabinet (FTTC)
Ethernet over Fibre to the Premises (FTTP)
Fibre-based Ethernet Service (Leased Lines)
Internet Breakout

We work with last mile providers and manage the WAN installation and architecture for you!

Answering your FAQs about Managed WAN

: WAN stands for Wide Area Network - it's the method by which your geographically separated network endpoints are connected together. Whereas a Local Area Network (LAN) is contained within one location, perhaps an office building - your WAN brings together multiple locations, be it buildings, data centres or cloud environments.
: SD-WAN stands for Software Defined Wide Area Network. It's similar to a traditional WAN, in that it connects geographically distinct endpoints. However, there is a control layer on top of the network, powered by software, which allows you to configure and change aspects of the WAN from one place. SD-WAN can combines both internet and private networking, allowing you to build a network without hardware, if you wish.
: Managed WAN services allow you to outsource network management to Cloud Gateway. Network skills are in short supply, so it's often preferable for to pass responsibility for network maintenance to an MSP, so that you can focus internal resource on other priorities. Managed WAN services are backed by SLA, availability and uptime guarantees.
