SD-WAN Overview


What is SD-WAN?

SD-WAN is an acronym for Software Defined Networking in a wide area network(WAN). SD-WAN simplifies the management and operation of a WAN by decoupling (Separating) the networking hardware from its control mechanism. The cost/performance trade-off between internet and MPLS, gave rise to SD-WAN. SD-WAN is using internet links to handle WAN traffic. The customer faces challenge to dynamically assign application traffic to the appropriate link.


The software-defined wide area network (SD-WAN) is a specific application of software-defined networking (SDN) technology applied to WAN connections, which are used to connect enterprise networks such as site offices and Central Offices/ Data Centers – over large geographical distances.


In a nutshell, SD-WAN


  1. Virtualizes the network
  2. Enables a secure overlay
  3. Simplifies services delivery
  4. Provides interoperability
  5. Supports interoperable and open networking
  6. Enables managed services
  7. Monitors usage and performance
  8. cost effective hardware
  9. Supports automation with business policy framework

HexaEdge SD-WAN Solution




1. Active Directory Enabled SD-WAN Solution

How HexaEdge SD-WAN is different than other SD-WAN solutions in the market?

HexaEdge SD-WAN is unique SD-WAN solution where active directory function is enabled and integrated. It is developed for Gateway Level Technology, which is ready for Domain Controller (Active Directory- ADSI). Our HexaEdge SD-WAN Solution can bring all your remotely located branch offices LAN network under single Domain which can be managed from a single Head Office location.


HexaEdge SD-WAN makes your network enable/ready to implement very effective Domain Controller like technologies for advanced IT infrastructure setup for your IT department, which can be beneficial to your company/organization for implementation of followings IT Policies.


  1. Account Lockout Policy
  2. ACL- Access Control List
  3. QOS- Quality of Service
  4. Restrictions like USB
  5. Password Policy
  6. Remote Installation Service (RIS), WSUS etc.


HexaEdge SD-WAN portable mobile devices are provided for the users who are always on move, making them to access the enterprise application/server through any computer/laptop without any hassle, securely through SD- WAN connectivity.
