SD-WAN
Every site on one integrated network
Joins your offices into a single integrated infrastructure through encrypted tunnels, with flexible logical links and rules for how they communicate, in a protected environment.
- Optimises connectivity — new locations and additional applications are quick and straightforward to add, so the business keeps running.
- Traffic between sites travels through encrypted tunnels, so data moves in a protected environment.
Architecture
Control and visibility across the network
The network is managed from one place rather than device by device — with policies that apply everywhere and reports that show what is actually happening.
- Dynamic management of multiple links, with automatic selection of the best-quality and most stable one.
- Centralised policy management.
- Full visibility of network parameters, with statistics and reports.
Applications
Traffic follows your business policies
The Fortinet solution supports over 5,000 applications, continuously updated, and gives you the flexibility to steer traffic by business policy and per-application SLA.
- Proactively corrects network quality using current analysis and prediction mechanisms.
- Application control, an internet services database (ISDB) and SSL inspection.
The core components
FortiGate
Built on the FortiOS firmware platform, FortiGate is the product at the heart of the Fortinet Secure SD-WAN solution. It provides application control, an internet services database (ISDB) and SSL inspection.
FortiSwitch
A core component for building SD-Branch, completing the SD-WAN architecture by providing security, consolidating all connectivity, and allowing FortiAP devices to be managed.
FortiAP
WiFi is the most common form of LAN access for users today. Wireless access points can be added to any network to provide WiFi for both employees and guests.
Management models
Fully managed by the integrator
Hardware and software delivery, initial configuration, installation and full support from the provider.
Co-managed
Read Only — you have access to the service and the equipment on a read-only basis. Advanced — you hold rights to control and make changes jointly with the service provider, within parameters agreed in advance.
Managed by you
Hardware and software delivery, setup, initial configuration and installation to your requirements.
Which model suits you depends on how much of the network you want to run yourself.
SD-WAN is worth considering if you are about to
- increase the number of cloud services or applications you use;
- run a digital transformation project, or improve the customer experience;
- improve the security of your WAN;
- expand the company.
Proven in practice: the Yettel project
- SD-WAN across every Yettel store and corporate office in the country — 200 points of presence, between January and October 2023.
- Backup connectivity was provided with Yettel’s FWA service, which guarantees 5G mobile connectivity at no extra cost for the SD-WAN devices.
- Failover between the primary and backup link takes 3 to 5 seconds, with no re-registration by users and no dropped sessions.
- Sites were migrated outside working hours, and it took around 2 hours.
- By the end of the project, over 2,000 interfaces and around 1,800 networks had been migrated to SD-WAN.
SD-WAN optimises the network and keeps the business running, with primary and backup connectivity.
