SD-WAN Solutions

SD-WAN solutions that provide secure, centralized, and application-oriented communication between your branches and data center.

Infraserve integrates SD-WAN technologies into your corporate network infrastructure, bringing data traffic between branches into a centralized, secure, and application-prioritized structure.

SD-WAN is a communication technology that manages network traffic between an organization's branches, data centers, and cloud platforms through a software-defined discipline. It transforms traditional wide area network (WAN) connections into a more flexible and security-focused structure. This architecture, which automatically routes traffic based on predetermined criteria, brings network management to a centralized foundation in infrastructures where cloud-based applications and hybrid working models are heavily utilized.

The technical processes carried out for the flexibility and security of the network infrastructure encompass the following headings:

Dynamic Path Selection and Traffic Routing: The most stable connection path is technically prioritized for critical business applications (ERP, Voice, Video). In cases such as latency or packet loss on a line, traffic is automatically transferred to a healthier line.
Centralized Management and Policy Distribution: Network devices in all branches are managed from a single center. Security policies and configuration changes are applied centrally to each location without requiring physical intervention.
Bandwidth Optimization: Low-cost broadband internet connections are securely integrated into the corporate network instead of expensive dedicated lines (MPLS). The capacity of existing lines is utilized with the highest efficiency.
Integrated Security Architecture: Communication between branches is encrypted end-to-end. The SD-WAN infrastructure is integrated with internal security layers or cloud-based security services (SASE) to configure edge security.
Network Visibility and Reporting: Application-based traffic utilization and line performances are monitored instantaneously. Bottlenecks on the network are analyzed with technical data to perform capacity planning.

SD-WAN is a discipline that decouples network management from physical hardware dependency and transforms it into a software-defined control mechanism. In Fortinet-based architectures, while data traffic is optimized according to application priority, corporate security policies are applied to all network endpoints in a centralized and standardized structure.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the use of SD-WAN eliminate MPLS lines completely?

This is a matter of preference. SD-WAN reduces dependency on MPLS lines, allowing low-cost internet lines to be utilized at corporate standards. However, in scenarios requiring very high SLAs, SD-WAN can also be structured in a hybrid model by backing up the existing MPLS line with an internet line.

How quickly can a new branch be integrated into the network?

Thanks to the "Zero Touch Provisioning" feature provided by the SD-WAN infrastructure, centrally prepared configurations are automatically uploaded to the device sent to the branch the moment it connects to the internet. This process reduces installation times to mere minutes.

How is corporate data security ensured over an internet connection?

The SD-WAN architecture safeguards all data passing through the internet with encryption protocols. Additionally, integrated protection is established for direct internet breakouts at branches by activating centralized security policies or next-generation firewall (NGFW) features directly on the device.
