How Vi’s SD-WAN solutions enhance centralised control and visibility on a multi-cloud network

Chances are that cloud computing has become a crucial component of your IT infrastructure. Cloud services can host applications, store data, and support critical business processes.

In such an environment, a multi-cloud network offers many advantages. When you use multiple cloud computing and storage services, your enterprise has more resilience and reduced redundancy. There is increased cost efficiency and enhanced flexibility.

However, managing a multi-cloud network can be complex. It involves coordinating different cloud services, networks, and devices. Your IT teams could find that all their valuable time is taken up by this.

That is why you should consider Vi Business’s SD-WAN solutions. We offer ways to easily reconfigure your WAN network. So that your business can realise the full potential of a multi-cloud network.

Vi Business’s SD-WAN gives you greater network control

One of the chief advantages of our SD-WAN technology is that it enables centralised control and visibility. You get a comprehensive view of all network traffic and applications.

Centralised management: IT administrators can manage and configure network policies from a single dashboard. This will cover all the locations of network devices and make it easier to monitor and control traffic.

Dynamic traffic routing: Traffic can be dynamically channelled across the network based on real-time network conditions. You get optimal application performance and reduced latency. Along with better visibility into the network and how traffic is flowing.

Application-level visibility: Administrators can monitor and control traffic based on specific applications. This visibility allows you to spot issues and ensure that critical applications receive the necessary bandwidth.

Cloud integration: Vi Business SD-WAN integrates with cloud providers such as Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud Platform. Administrators will be able to centrally manage and control resources to ensure optimal performance across the multi-cloud network.

Some winning features of Vi Business SD-WAN

The many superior features of Vi Business SD-WAN enable a centralised and seamless performance across a multi-cloud network. Some of them are: 

Digital-ready: Access your private and public multi-cloud applications faster and without fuss.

Software-defined infrastructure: Your existing hardware layer is replaced by our software, so you can access a pan-India WAN network from a centralised portal.

Easy to adopt: All you need to do is replace existing routers with SD-WAN CPEs. To seamlessly connect offices, remote branches, private data centres, and public cloud providers.

Multi-transport: There’s no need to rely on only one means of Internet access. You get an interplay of the internet, MPLS, Broadband, and 4G LTE.

Simple subscription: All of this is cost-efficient, too. You can choose managed service pricing for different contract durations.

A deeper dive into SD-WAN’s benefits and centralised control

Our SD-WAN solutions give you the ability to prioritise network traffic based on application requirements. This improves application performance and user experience. SD-WAN software can do this by detecting and classifying different types of network traffic, such as VoIP, video, or data. These are then routed accordingly.

Let’s say a business-critical application requires more bandwidth than a less important application. SD-WAN can prioritise traffic to give more resources to the critical application. This is centrally managed.

For example, your sales team could be using a cloud-based CRM system to manage customer relationships. SD-WAN will let you monitor how they are using the CRM system and which features are being used most frequently. You can also see at a glance which users are accessing the system, and from which devices.

In this way, you can optimise the network by providing additional bandwidth to the CRM system during peak usage times. You can also configure the system to limit access from unauthorised devices.

SD-WAN can also enhance security on your multi-cloud network. You get end-to-end encryption, segmentation, and policy management from a central location. This means IT teams can enforce security policies across the entire network. To ensure that sensitive data is protected  and access is controlled.

In multi-cloud networks, different cloud providers may have different security policies and configurations. With a single SD-WAN interface, these policies and configurations can be easily managed. Further, the platform can give your IT team real-time visibility into the network. They can monitor performance, application usage, and user behaviour in real-time. The data can further be used to optimise future performance.

Our SD-WAN services can also reduce the need for expensive MPLS circuits. Enabling the use of more cost-effective broadband connections. In all these ways and more, Vi Business SD-WAN solutions can reduce the complexity and cost of network administration, configuration, and troubleshooting. That means your IT teams can spend less time managing the network and more time on value-added activities.
