They Ask: “We’ve got multiple internet connections—do we need SD-WAN?”
You Answer:
Let’s say you’ve got fiber as your primary and coax or wireless as your backup. Great setup. But here’s the catch: how do you manage traffic between them? How do you know which apps should use which path? And what happens when one link goes down?
Enter SD-WAN.
SD-WAN is like air traffic control for your internet.
It monitors, routes, and optimizes traffic across multiple connections—automatically. No manual failover. No guessing. Just smart, seamless performance.
Why SD-WAN makes sense (especially with redundancy):
- Automatic failover: If fiber drops, SD-WAN instantly reroutes traffic to wireless or coax—no downtime, no drama.
- Application-aware routing: Critical apps (like VoIP or video) get priority. Less important traffic (like software updates) gets routed elsewhere.
- Performance optimization: SD-WAN constantly evaluates latency, jitter, and packet loss—then picks the best path in real time.
- Security built-in: Many SD-WAN solutions include firewalls, encryption, and threat detection. It’s like having a bodyguard for your data.
