SD-WAN: Take control of your own private network

Many businesses and organisations today employ different connectivity technologies overlaid with security however many do not have a secondary connection for redundancy as it can be cost prohibitive.

We have been working with our customer base to address this issue and have been implementing a redundant solution that can cost effectively interconnect multiple technologies such as MPLS, Direct Connect (Layer 2), Internet (NBN etc), Starlink (Satellite) and 4/5G Mobile Data as shown below.

By deploying a network aggregation device that has the ability to interconnect multiple network technoloigies companies and organisations can implement an extremely cost effective redundant network, even for home use.

Software Defined WAN

This SD-WAN solution lets you create and take control of your own private network to connect single or multiple business locations.

Delivered at a lower cost with more features and flexibility than MPLS and IPsec VPN

• Superior cost efficiency
• Affordable for small business or even home use
• Regional customers now have a cost-effective alternative
• You have total control of your private network
• Rapid deployment solution
• Not bound to any internet provider
• Incredible performance and features
• Security for your entire business

Service Architecture

Create WANs made up of multiple connections, from multiple service providers, in multiple geographies and apply global rules, alerts, and features easily.

• The system was designed to give customers remote access to each device in your network and to make deployment fast, cost effective and simple. ?
• By abstracting the control plane from the data plane, you have the unique ability to make changes to configurations remotely.
• Deploy new sites, change policies and add WAN links – all in seconds and support global customers easily.

Service Options

Broadband Bonding

Broadband bonding simply fuses multiple broadband connections together to give you a much faster and much more reliable connection. The bonded connection combines the bandwidth capacity of each circuit connected, in both uplink and downlink directions and presents itself to the network via a single cable and public IP or address range.

By simply bonding two or more broadband services together you can create a single, super-fast, cost-effective broadband connection.

With bonding, your VPN, Remote Services, bandwidth sensitive applications and cloud-based applications will perform more effectively. In addition, your business broadband connection will be protected by multiple paths giving you a level of redundancy over a single service connection. Given we can bond any type of service from any carrier, your level of redundancy is greatly increased.

Bonding will make all your bandwidth available all of the time for all of your applications to use. Even by bonding just two lines you will see the following benefits:

Bonding will make all your bandwidth available all of the time for all of your applications to use. Even by bonding just two lines or by bonding Broadband and 5G you will see the following benefits:

• Multi-line redundancy with automatic, unattended, seamless failover/failback (even during an HTTPS session
• Files uploaded to the cloud in half the time
• Backup times significantly reduced
• Remote Desktop users will rejoice
• VPNs will perform more effectively
• Better quality VoIP calls

Aggregation

By integrating or bonding 2 connections you can take advantage of the cumulative bandwidth

Failover Service

In the event your NBN fails (or your main Internet connection), the 4G/5G USB will seamlessly kick in and allow you to retain your connectivity (an essential part of business today!).

The Failover Service will retain your Static IP address. No need to make any changes to your router at all – it is unattended, seamless failover within 300ms!

Configurable options include:

• Download Data Allowance (includes 250GB) – uploads aren’t measured
• Additional IP address (one free)
• Quality of Service (QoS)
• Link Authentication
• TCP Acceleration
• Compression

Bonded Hybrid

Bonded Hybrid is a bonding service that combines a single low cost ADSL service with the uplink speed of a 4G/5G (or 3G) device.

The data is deliberately skewed on the 4G/5G data flow to not allow downlink through it thereby creating a service that has ADSL downlink speeds combined with 4G/5G uplink speeds!

A semi-synchronous service for a very reasonable cost and includes

• a 12 month contract term
• a 250GB data allowance
• Compression
• Quality of Service (QoS)
• TCP Acceleration

Bonded Premium

Bonded Premium is a corporate bonding solution suitable for businesses that require super-fast upload and download speeds. Bonded Premium allows you to bond as many lines as you like..of any type…from any carrier.

Configurable options include:

• Plan length
• Number of lines
• Download Data Allowance
• Compression
• Quality of Service (QoS)
• TCP Acceleration
• USB 3G/4G Failover
• Link Authentication
• Additional IP address (we supply one free)

Analytics

Analytics can be added as an option

Average Cost

5G Business Data Plan - 1GB Minimum Per Month with average speeds - 332Mb Download and 33Mb Upload with a monthly average cost of $85

4G/5G Modem - Average $50 to purchase

Aggregation and Integration Box - $140 per month (Exc GST)and optional performance monitoring of $12 per month

So for a total of $235 per month you can implement a redundant network service.
