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.
