I would like to give you some Outsourcing vision. First, think of it as a game of chess. Your company is a chessboard on which every branch, every office and every sales point are figures. Communication between them is the movements of these figures, which must be smooth, fast and coordinated. It is known that in a game you always want to win, but what if the game board grows and you have to add more figures?
Your move! You’re considering how to connect these growing numbers of facilities while maintaining efficiency and security, but without emptying your company’s budget. The traditional approach, called WAN, may seem tempting, but it’s expensive and not always flexible. You can’t afford to make a mistake. Is there a better move? ITH offers you SD-WAN technology, which is like the king on the chessboard – powerful, versatile and extremely valuable. This technology allows you to centrally manage your network, and that means you don’t have to hire an army of specialists to move your pieces around. And most importantly, SD-WAN gives you the ability to add more outposts to the game without investing in costly infrastructure.
Is such a move possible? Yes, it is. With ITH SD-WAN, your figures are always coordinated, regardless of the size of the chessboard. This technology gives you flexibility, scalability and security, no matter how complex your moves become. No matter how far your chessboard expands, ITH SD-WAN is ready to support you at every stage of the game – meaning you’re always one step ahead of your opponent.
SD-WAN – how to ensure reliability and performance of Internet links through redundancy
Let’s consider the concept of link redundancy for a moment. With SD-WAN technology, you don’t need to invest in expensive data links such as MPLS. Instead, you can use regular Internet connections or even LTE/5G technology. The key is to have two independent connections – for example, an Internet connection and LTE as backup, or even two SIM cards from different mobile networks. This is all ITH is capable of providing.
Why is it so important? Imagine it like a team relay race. If one runner stumbles, the other is ready to take over the baton and continue the race. With SD-WAN technology, both links are active, and intelligent SD-WAN software manages the traffic between them, ensuring optimal bandwidth utilization and service continuity.
SD-WAN is an invisible shield for your business
It doesn’t stop there – SD-WAN also operates on a zero-trust basis, providing comprehensive cyber security. It’s a bit like having a secret agent that verifies the identity of anyone who tries to enter your premises. Data is transmitted over secure, encrypted IPsec or SSL tunnels, and SD-WAN is equipped with security features such as DNS protection, mechanisms to protect against malware and DDoS attacks, URL filtering, an intrusion prevention system (IPS) and zone firewalls.
Therefore, you can use regular Internet connections without worrying about the security of your company’s systems and data. It’s a bit like having an invisible shield that protects your company from unwanted intruders. It’s all thanks to ITH and SD-WAN technology. Isn’t that impressive?
SD-WAN – central network management
Suppose your company is a growing city. Every branch, office and point of sale are buildings full of activity that must work together for the city to prosper. In this context, SD-WAN from ITH is like a network of roads that connect everything together.
When a new building appears in your city, you don’t have to build a new highway. Just connect it to the existing road network. It’s as simple as putting up a new client device. You don’t need a staff of engineers to install it – it’s called zero-touch provisioning. These devices automatically connect to controllers that oversee their operation.
A city needs a mayor, right? With help comes manager, an application that allows you to manage your entire network through a simple web interface. You can set traffic priority rules, security policies and update software on all devices. Thanks to centralized administration, you make all changes once, without having to log in to each device separately.
SD-WAN – how to customize the network for your business?
As a mayor, you always want your city to run as efficiently as possible. That’s why SD-WAN uses various mechanisms such as traffic segmentation, QoS and packet duplication to optimize bandwidth usage. You can also determine which applications and task types have priority during transmission – it’s like deciding which roads have priority during rush hour.
What to do when one of the roads is closed? SD-WAN automatically diverts traffic to other routes, ensuring business continuity.
With SD-WAN, your city is always ready for growth and change. No matter how many new buildings you build, the road network will always be able to handle them, ensuring efficiency and safety.
Why trust ITH?
Implementing SD-WAN may seem like a complex task, but with the right skills, it is doable. If you have experienced network engineers on board, you can attempt to implement this technology yourself. Keep in mind, however, that this requires dedicating the time of one of your team members to network management.
However, there is an alternative – a secure and cost-effective solution that doesn’t require expertise inside your company. Working with a partner such as ITH allows you to implement SD-WAN, with ITH taking over the responsibilities of managing the network, keeping software up to date, etc. There is also the option of a hybrid model, where a selected, trained employee manages certain aspects, such as security policies, and the operator takes care of the rest.
The advantage of working with ITH is that you can test the value of SD-WAN for your company before making a final decision to implement the technology. ITH will provide you with so-called proof of value (PoV), i.e. proof of how profitable an SD-WAN solution will be for your company.
