Managed SD-WAN services:Powering secure, scalable, multi-site connectivity

Globally
to achieve Cisco SD-WAN
Managed Services Provider

We partner with organisations through every stage of their SD-WAN journey — from first-time deployments to full-scale global rollouts. Many of our clients have complex, distributed networks that span multiple cloud environments, on-premises data centres, manufacturing facilities, showrooms, and international branch offices. As these organisations grow and change, they need speed, simplicity, and reliability.

That’s where Software-Defined Wide Area Network (SD-WAN) comes in. As a modern, software-defined approach to networking, it enables faster site rollouts, seamless scalability, and secure, consistent access for users across the globe — all while being centrally managed for efficiency and control.

Technology is just one part of the solution

Getting real value from SD-WAN goes beyond deploying the right platform — it requires continuous, experienced management. As a policy-based solution, SD-WAN must adapt to changing user traffic, application priorities, and the performance of underlying circuits. Our certified SD-WAN engineers and dedicated SDN specialists understand this technology and proactively fine-tune the policies and configurations to ensure your network delivers optimal performance, reliability, and security at scale.

That’s the difference between simply having SD-WAN and having SD-WAN that works for your business.

WhiteSpider has been a key partner in our Managed Services, aligning with our long-term goals and giving me confidence that our IT infrastructure can scale rapidly. Their guidance helped us secure a 5-year Enterprise Agreement, helping us to optimise licensing costs and streamline operations.

Intelligent connectivity for
distributed enterprise networks

With our team of SDN specialists, we architect, transform, and manage SD-WAN solutions that align with your operational structure and business goals, whether across retail stores, manufacturing sites, branch offices, or hybrid cloud environments. We embed ourselves within your team, complementing in-house capabilities to deliver a smooth, agile transition to a software-defined WAN, backed by an SD-WAN managed service where incidents are proactively detected, investigated, and resolved by our expert team. Our managed SD-WAN offering is built on a resilient policy-driven framework designed for real-time adaptability, whether you’re opening new sites, migrating workloads to the cloud, or enabling secure remote collaboration.

Core components of SD-WAN and how we leverage them within our SD-WAN managed service:

Management plane

Centralised visibility, monitoring, and policy control, enhanced with custom monitoring via API integrations for real-time insight into application and network performance.

Control plane

Dynamic routing enables intelligent path selection based on live performance metrics. We actively monitor control and data planes, identifying and responding quickly to any transport degradation affecting customer sites.

Orchestration plane

Secure and seamless site onboarding, ensuring authentication and provisioning are automated and consistent across new and existing locations.

Edge devices

High-availability connectivity with secure, encrypted traffic across MPLS, DSL, and 4G transports. Real-time health checks enable automatic failover between transport types to maintain performance and uptime.

Built-in security

Integrated threat protection, encryption, and granular policy enforcement across the WAN to safeguard users, applications, and data—no matter where they’re located.

End-to-end operational assurance
across your SD-WAN estate

Depending on your management requirements, we can assume full ownership of your SD-WAN fabric or co-manage the solution. Further we can provide the underlying connectivity as part of the service, taking ownership of the provision, management and billing of the connectivity giving you greater flexibility and scalability, to stay connected and agile, even in the most dynamic and distributed environments.
