Dropped connections and network issues? Here’s how to ensure stability with SD-WAN

In a corporate environment that is increasingly dependent on connected systems to operate efficiently, there is no room for failures in IT infrastructure. Connection drops, network problems and system slowdowns can directly affect productivity, security and customer experience. According to a study by Gartner, Companies can lose up to US$300,000 per hour of network downtime. But how can you ensure that your network is stable, flexible and secure, regardless of where your employees are? The solution lies in SD-WAN.

What is SD-WAN?

SD-WAN (Software-Defined Wide Area Network) is a technology that enables intelligent and flexible management of network connections in companies of all sizes.

In other words, instead of relying exclusively on traditional physical connections, such as MPLS (Multiprotocol Label Switching), SD-WAN uses intelligent software to dynamically route data, prioritizing faster and more stable networks (such as broadband internet, private networks and 4G/5G mobile connections). This results in greater control, visibility and performance in the IT infrastructure.

Main benefits of SD-WAN

Greater stability and redundancy: The technology automatically chooses the best traffic route, ensuring that the connection is always fast and reliable. On the other hand, if one of the connections fails or becomes congested, the system redirects traffic instantly, minimizing interruptions.

Simplified and intelligent management: With this solution, network monitoring and adjustments are centralized in a single control panel, thus allowing automatic adjustments in real time.

Reduction of operating costs: By replacing dedicated connections such as MPLS with broadband internet and 4G/5G, companies reduce costs without losing performance.

Enhanced security: In addition to optimizing connectivity, SD-WAN offers end-to-end encryption, traffic segmentation and integration with advanced firewalls, ensuring protection against cyber attacks.

Scalability for business growth: It is ideal for expanding companies, as it allows you to connect branches, remote offices and home offices quickly and securely, without the need for heavy investments in physical infrastructure.

How can SD-WAN solve your network problems?

Imagine your business experiences a critical connection outage during a peak activity period. With SD-WAN, data traffic is automatically redirected to the best available network, ensuring operational continuity without interruptions. In addition, the technology allows dynamic prioritization of essential applications, such as video conferencing, financial systems and productivity tools, improving the user experience and the efficiency of internal processes.
