OPTIMIZE YOUR HYBRID WAN

Imagine what you could do with a Gig

SD-WAN puts the architecture in place that allows you to do more with your network. Paired with gigabit speed broadband connections from Comcast Business, SD-WAN can help overcome the bandwidth, scalability, and cost concerns common with legacy, T1-based MPLS networks.

Current T1 Life

Limited bandwidth to support multiple business functions: email, video, voice, WiFi, analytics, cloud apps.

Adding T1s to your existing network

The need to address growing bandwidth consumption adds time and expense.

Gig Life

Gives businesses the capacity and performance they need to future-proof their network.

Point-click-deploy

Imagine a world where monitoring and managing the health of your network is as simple as viewing up-to-date information presented across a single, intuitive screen (single pane of glass). Since SD-WAN is delivered over the Comcast Business ActiveCore℠ platform, SD-WAN customers have access to application control and network visibility. Comcast Business has designed an intuitive digital experience, which offers an easy-to-use, self-service portal that streamlines the management of your entire network and is accompanied by a mobile app with network-at-a-glance capabilities.

Why businesses adopt SD-WAN

Optimized performance

Features like a scalable pipeline and intelligent path selection can improve network performance enterprise-wide.

Higher throughput, greater reliability

Application-aware routing protocols let your network adjust to demands in network traffic.

Better control

Handle tasks like pushing policies to branch locations and launching new sites remotely from a central location. And save time and travel.

Managed costs

With intelligent software substituting for hardware functionality, you can save as expensive hardware options are consolidated or phased out.

SD-WAN makes a difference

Comcast Business SD-WAN is built on the carrier-grade Comcast Business ActiveCore SDN platform. Pairing this new approach to how networks are designed and built with industry-leading broadband service, last-mile performance, and gig capabilities. Comcast Business SD-WAN enables distributed enterprises to benefit from scale, cost efficiencies, and built-in network reliability.

SD-WAN adds a control layer on top of a customer’s network infrastructure, enabling them to centralize policy management of critical network functions and eliminate the need for multiple, complex, single-purpose devices. SD-WAN allows digital enterprises to overcome the complexity of MPLS and start doing more with their business by turning their network into an asset – not a burden.

Simplify your hybrid WAN

Easing into the many benefits of SD-WAN can be a gradual process, without immediately sacrificing existing investments in traditional networking infrastructure. No matter what your existing network solution is, Comcast Business can software-define it to make your hybrid WAN easier to implement and operate.

Digital-ready architecture

SD-WAN allows better optimization of traffic across the network, centralized management, and a reduction in the total cost of ownership by providing key networking functions in an integrated, intelligent solution.

A brighter outlook for your business

With centralized management and proactive, actionable insights, SD-WAN powered by the ActiveCore platform helps distributed enterprises harness simplicity in managing networks and applications.
