SD-WAN
SD-WAN (software-defined wide area networking) is a more practical way to run a network across multiple sites. Instead of relying on rigid, hardware-led routing, it uses software to understand what’s happening across your connections and make smarter decisions about performance, security and reliability automatically.
At Pure Cloud, we deliver SD-WAN as a managed service that keeps sites connected, applications performing and complexity firmly in the background.
Features & Benefits
Intelligent traffic prioritisation
SD-WAN understands what different types of traffic need and treats them accordingly. Voice, video and critical applications are prioritised, while less important traffic takes a back seat, keeping performance consistent even when links are busy.
Better performance across every site
Rather than forcing traffic down a single path, SD-WAN continuously assesses connection quality and chooses the best route in real time. That means faster access to cloud services and fewer performance complaints from users.
Built-in resilience and failover
If a connection degrades or fails, SD-WAN reroutes traffic automatically. No manual intervention, no waiting for someone to notice, just continuity that keeps people working when links inevitably misbehave.
Central visibility and control
All sites and connections are managed from a single platform. Performance, usage and issues are visible in one place, making the network easier to understand, manage and improve over time.
Simplified, consistent security
Traffic is encrypted by default, with security policies applied consistently across all sites. That reduces risk and removes the need for separate, site-by-site security configurations that drift over time.
Flexible, future-ready connectivity
SD-WAN works across fibre, broadband, leased lines and wireless connections. That flexibility makes it easier to control costs, add new sites quickly and adapt as connectivity options change.
How SD-WAN works
SD-WAN works best when it’s designed around how your business actually uses the network, not just where the boxes sit.
Understand your traffic
We start by identifying what applications you rely on, which ones are performance-critical, and how users across different sites actually work day to day.
Define priorities and policies
Traffic rules are set based on business importance, not guesswork, ensuring voice, video and key systems always take priority over less critical activity.
Build resilience in from the start
Failover, redundancy and performance thresholds are designed into the network logic, so resilience is automatic rather than reactive.
Once deployed, SD-WAN is managed as a single, joined-up environment rather than a collection of isolated locations.
One management platform
All sites, connections and policies are controlled from one place, giving clear visibility of performance and issues across the entire network.
Real-time performance decisions
The platform continuously monitors link quality and routes traffic over the best available path, adjusting automatically as conditions change.
Consistent experience everywhere
Users get the same predictable performance whether they’re in head office, a branch site or a newly opened location.
SD-WAN is not a “set and forget” technology. It improves over time when it’s actively managed.
Ongoing monitoring and support
We keep an eye on performance, availability and usage, addressing issues before they turn into outages or user complaints.
Fine-tuning as the business changes
As applications, sites or usage patterns evolve, policies and priorities are adjusted to stay aligned with how you work.
Less effort for your team
Pure Cloud handles the day-to-day management, so you get the benefits of SD-WAN without adding operational complexity internally.
