Grow Your Business with PLDT Global’s International SD-WAN

As your business grows, change will be inevitable. You’re bound to change operations and expand to different locations. For instance, being in the retail industry calls for proper handling of sensitive information like credit card transactions. On the other hand, being in the financial sector requires fast and reliable access to databases to serve your customers. Regardless of which industry you’re operating in, however, expanding means having multiple branches to connect to more people. But with every change introduced, various physical and technical kinds of hardware need to be installed at the same time.

What you want are flexibility and operational agility to support your digital transformation. That’s where we come in.?

With PLDT Global’s International Software-Defined Wide Area Networks (SD-WAN), managing your networks is now easier, more efficient, and more cost-effective. It improves your connectivity to your branches and to clouds. It links your branches to your central business network or links data facilities divided by distance.?

Previously, multiple branches needed different network providers for each location. This meant different service approaches, service-level agreements (SLAs), and contracts. Imagine how cumbersome it was, having to speak with different contacts for different needs. You would also need different network appliances installed and maintained by personnel on-site. So if your branch or network encountered a? technical concern, a knowledgeable IT personnel had to physically come on-site to troubleshoot and configure. Overall, this traditional practice is complex, time-consuming, prone to errors, and expensive. And you’d want to do away with that, wouldn’t you???

With SD-WAN, you can manage your connections remotely without the use of special hardware. This saves you time because you won’t have to wait for on-site technicians to fix the problems. And with faster response time and remote controlling, this also lessens your company’s expenses.?

With PLDT Global’s International SD-WAN, we can move your entire network control into the cloud. Now, you can reach your branches even if you aren’t physically there. You can manage your needs from the headquarters itself! SD-WAN provides a pre-configured single network interface device (NID), so you can make changes such as adding or closing locations, deploying new devices, or upgrading old ones. It can monitor downtime, outage, errors, which ensures an efficient and faster response time to problems compared to on-site and physical troubleshooting. This is all made possible thanks to remote and real-time information.

Our SD-WAN service is also in a modular “building block” format as an overlay network to managed Global Internet connectivity. It can also be part of managed Hybrid internet/Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) WAN, a data forwarding technology that increases speed and controls the network’s traffic flow. This allows you to have flexibility over selecting services defined in each block on an individual basis or you can choose a full set of services.?

Overall, using SD-WAN simplifies your business operations, decreases your operational expenses, and provides you with a complete visibility of your whole network.?

PLDT’s International SD-WAN is targeted to multinational enterprises, retail services, logistics companies, financial institutions, manufacturing companies, and other companies with different branches across the globe. We would like to partner with businesses in any country with internet connectivity for both the host country and the partner branches. But for now, this service is best optimized for Singapore, Hong Kong, Japan, USA (Los Angeles, New York), and Philippines.
