How your business can benefit from Bell Virtual Network Services
Bell is the first service provider in Canada to launch a virtual network services platform, giving you a new level of flexibility and control over your network.
Adjust your network to fit your needs
Increase the level of flexibility and control over your network, and respond faster to changing needs by accessing and configuring best-in-class network services and applications on demand. Add or remove services quickly and easily, paying only for what you use with our subscription-based consumption model.
Get to market faster
Leverage the cloud’s agility and efficiency to quickly deploy and provision new network services – without the need for truck rolls. Automation lets you provision in days instead of weeks so you can launch new services faster and deliver a better customer experience.
Lower your hardware investments
Transform your traditional hardware-based networking experience to a digital, cloud-based model. All you need is a single universal customer premises equipment (uCPE) device to run multiple Bell-certified virtual network functions. This simplified network infrastructure eliminates the need for single-purpose appliances for each new service, reducing your capital costs.

Key capabilities of SD-WAN with Bell VNS
Software-defined wide-area networking (SD-WAN) is the first virtual network function available on the Bell Virtual Network Services platform.
Improved application performance
SD-WAN dynamically prioritizes and routes application traffic based on network performance. It optimizes available bandwidth and finds the most economical path, helping to enhance the performance of applications hosted on-site and in the cloud.
Centralized policy-based management
SD-WAN provides centralized access and control of your network, and allows you to automate policies instead of relying on manual configurations – simplifying the day-to-day management of your WAN.
Flexible connectivity options
Integrate your WAN with multiple network connections such as IP VPN, Internet and LTE to enable a dynamic, hybrid-networking approach.
Integrated security at the edge of your network
SD-WAN secures applications from the edge of your network environment to the cloud which helps detect and protect against attacks more quickly, keeping your applications – and business – up and running.
Powerful reporting and analytics
Monitor your network performance using a robust self-service portal with easy-to-use dashboards and rich analytics and reporting capabilities.
