SDWAN
Fully managed SD-WAN from Next2IT, with application-aware routing, multi-link resilience and direct cloud access for fast, secure multi-site connectivity.
Smarter connectivity across your sites
Modern businesses run on cloud applications, distributed teams and data-heavy workloads, and traditional fixed-circuit networks struggle to keep up. SD-WAN uses software to route traffic dynamically across multiple connections, prioritising performance, security and cost. Next2IT designs and fully manages SD-WAN that links your locations, cloud services and remote users without the rigidity of legacy WAN.
What we deliver
Design and deployment. Our engineers handle hardware selection, WAN integration, policy configuration and migration from legacy networks, with no downtime. We tailor the architecture to your applications, sites and bandwidth needs.
Application-aware routing. Quality of Service policies identify and prioritise traffic so voice, video, CRM and other essential applications get guaranteed bandwidth, adapting as conditions change.
Multi-link resilience. We combine fibre, broadband, 4G and 5G and MPLS into a single fabric, balancing traffic by latency, packet loss and jitter. If a link fails, traffic moves to an alternate path automatically.
Direct cloud access. Rather than backhauling traffic through a central data centre, we enable secure local internet breakout to Microsoft 365, AWS, Azure and other SaaS platforms, cutting latency and cost.
Fully managed. Our Network Operations Centre monitors link quality, application performance and security events 24x7, applying updates and resolving issues before they reach your users.
Key features
- Centralised network management. Configure, monitor and manage every site from a single dashboard with full visibility across your WAN.
- Dynamic path selection. Traffic automatically routes over the best available connection based on real-time latency, packet loss and jitter.
- End-to-end encryption. All traffic across the WAN is encrypted, protecting data in transit between every site.
- Application-aware routing. Traffic is classified and prioritised through Quality of Service policies so critical apps perform.
- Integrated firewall and segmentation. Built-in firewalls, network segmentation and threat prevention protect the WAN from cyber threats.
- Multi-transport support. Use broadband, LTE/5G, MPLS or satellite within the same network for maximum flexibility and resilience.
The benefits
SD-WAN cuts reliance on expensive MPLS by blending it with low-cost broadband and mobile links, balancing traffic automatically. Critical applications stay responsive even at peak. New sites activate in days using readily available connections with zero-touch provisioning, and cloud access stays fast and consistent for office and remote staff alike. End-to-end encryption, integrated firewalls and network segmentation protect the whole WAN.

FAQs
Frequently asked questions
SD-WAN (Software-Defined Wide Area Networking) automatically routes traffic across multiple connections for better speed, security and efficiency. It uses software-based management to direct traffic across fibre, broadband, 4G/5G and MPLS links based on real-time performance, continuously monitoring link quality and application needs to select the best path for each application.
Traditional WAN relies on fixed MPLS circuits with static routing and often backhauls all traffic through a central data centre. SD-WAN uses multiple connection types and intelligently routes traffic for better performance, cost savings and flexibility, with application-aware routing, automatic failover, local internet breakout for cloud services and centralised management. The result is faster deployment, lower costs and better performance for cloud applications.
Yes. All traffic across the WAN is encrypted end-to-end using IPsec. Modern SD-WAN integrates next-generation firewalls, intrusion prevention and secure web gateways, and network segmentation isolates traffic to reduce the attack surface. Many platforms also integrate with SASE or SSE frameworks for comprehensive security across distributed sites and remote workers.
Absolutely. Each site connects through its own SD-WAN appliance to form a unified, secure fabric regardless of the underlying connections, and remote workers connect via SD-WAN-enabled VPN clients with the same optimised access. A single management console gives complete visibility across all sites and users.
