SD-WAN Solutions
SD-WAN Solutions provide a software-defined approach to managing a Wide Area Network (WAN). It means increased speed, faster deployments and the agility to reconfigure your network in minutes with application prioritization and cost savings.
Why SD-WAN — Why Now?
The traditional WAN was meant to connect users at a branch or campus to applications hosted on servers in the data center. Typically, dedicated MPLS circuits were used to help ensure security and reliable connectivity. This doesn’t work in a cloud-centric world.
The SD-WAN approach to network connectivity can lower operational costs and improve resource usage for multi-site deployments. Network administrators can use bandwidth more efficiently and can help ensure high levels of performance for critical applications without sacrificing security or data privacy.
The advantages of SD-WAN Solutions for the Distributed Enterprise
Organizations with multiple remote locations now can liberate their networks from rigid legacy WANs and costly MPLS connections and routers that require a lot of time, effort and expertise to manage.
Key advantages
- Reduces costs with transport independence across MPLS, 4G/5G LTE & other connection types
- Improves application performance & increasing agility
- Optimizes user experience and efficiency for software-as-a-service (SaaS) & public-cloud applications
- Simplifies operations with automation & cloud-based management

What is Managed SD-WAN?
Managed SD-WAN is a service where a service provider will handle the configuration, management, and monitoring of a Software Defined Wide Area Network (SD-WAN) which usually includes providing edge devices as well as all of the circuits required to support the connectivity. Usually troubleshooting assistance and performance monitoring are included in the managed service.
What are the benefits of SD-WAN?
SD-WAN provides an increase in performance typically at a lower cost by utilizing multiple business class broadband circuits over the Internet. Another advantage to SD-WAN is ease of deployment because of zero-touch provisioning (ZTP). With zero-touch provisioning, the edge devices can be deployed by simply connecting them to the carrier circuit, the edge device will “phone home” to obtain its configuration, reducing human error in configuration as well as providing the ability to deploy many devices simultaneously to reduce deployment timelines.
How do you manage SD-WAN?
Managing SD-WAN can be done internally by an organization, or by partnering with a Managed Services Provider like Pomeroy. This comprises of having a Network Operations Center with the skill set, experience, and expertise to configure, manage, and maintain SD-WAN.
Top 15 U.S. Insurer
Leading Insurer Transforms Networks to Support Rapid Growth
The Problem:
Revenue growth hinged on the sales productivity of 3,100 agents & 8,000 remote employees at over 3,300 branch offices hindered by low speed network connections. Bandwidth & availability could not support needed bandwidth-intensive CRM, video & collaboration applications.
The Effort:
Pomeroy implemented PCI-compliant primary & secondary networks comprised of over 6,600 broadband circuits in just 13 months.
The Results:
Over $12 million in annual cost savings were realized in conjunction with 3-5x bandwidth improvement, resulting in significantly increased network availability, performance & employee productivity.
