Connect Cisco SD-WAN
Shape your future infrastructure and build a secure infrastructure you can rely on with managed Cisco SD-WAN from BT.
What is Connect Cisco SD-WAN?
Making sophisticated, global networks easier to monitor, manage and become more agile.
As your network adapts to meet new demands it’s easy to be overwhelmed by managing and maintaining it. Not to mention the challenge of ever-increasing data traffic and security threats. We’ve created a simple way to give your key sites and people the connections they need to support them in a more dynamic global marketplace.
Connect Cisco SD-WAN is a managed SD-WAN solution for global networks with sophisticated requirements. It’s the ideal choice as you migrate towards a software-enabled service. We’ve developed a centrally managed, cloud-hosted, and software-defined network overlay solution using Cisco vEdge hardware and licences. It comes with best-of-breed reporting built in so you can see exactly what’s happening across your network and applications.
Because it’s a fully managed service, making changes to application routing is easy – we can take care of everything from installation and configuration to monitoring.
How does Connect Cisco SD-WAN work?
Designed with complex global networks in mind.
Coping with ever-increasing data from a complex set of applications while managing a hybrid WAN across a mix of site types is a challenge. So we’ve created a simple solution with advanced features built on our evolving dynamic network, and with the right support to make it a success.
Connect Cisco SD-WAN is agile enough to work across a range of internet and network services, giving you the ability to adapt quickly to meet new challenges and opportunities.
It comes with the vManage reporting system – an online view of all your services – for real-time monitoring and troubleshooting. And if you really want to get to the bottom of what’s going on in your network, our LiveAction service takes analytics to the next level. You’ll get real insight into your network performance to help you make informed decisions on configuration, applications, and data traffic management.
Security is built-in and you’ll get 3,000 security experts and 16 operation centres as backup.
