Managed SD-WAN Services
Secure, agile connectivity that transforms your enterprise network performance.
When Your Network Holds You Back
In a cloud-first era, legacy wide area network (WAN) configurations restrict business operations. Rigid MPLS architectures are expensive, slow to provision, and struggle with the traffic demands of SaaS and cloud-hosted platforms. Meanwhile, relying on single public broadband lines leaves branches exposed to carrier outages, high packet loss, and jitter that interrupts real-time applications like VoIP and video conferencing.
What is Managed SD-WAN?
Software-Defined Wide Area Networking (SD-WAN) abstracts network control from physical hardware, creating an intelligent routing overlay. This allows you to combine diverse first-mile circuits—like local fiber, dynamic cable, cellular LTE/5G, and Starlink satellite connections—into a single, high-availability transport pipeline.
SD-WAN dynamically monitors traffic conditions across all circuits in real time, automatically steering critical application sessions onto the best available path to prevent disconnects and downtime.
Key Benefits & Capabilities
Increased Productivity
Bond multiple lines active-active. If a primary circuit fails, sessions failover sub-second with zero dropped VoIP calls or database disconnects.
Enhanced Performance
Application-aware routing prioritizes critical business tools (Office365, Zoom, ERP database) over non-essential traffic to optimize bandwidth.
Technology Choice
Vendor-neutral design. Standardize on high-performance Fortinet FortiGate edge components or budget-friendly MikroTik setups.
Reduced TCO
Drastically cut recurring first-mile transport costs by replacing expensive private circuits with managed public broadband links.
The XTT Difference
We combine network engineering flexibility with true proactive management to deliver a resilient service experience.
Without XTT
- Carrier lock-in to single telco backbones.
- Inflexible hardware choices and expensive licensing.
- Your internal IT staff coordinates troubleshooting, ISP escalations, and configuration updates.
- Standard failover leaves backup connections idle.
With XTT
- Vast carrier-neutral coverage leveraging multiple regional fiber and wireless partners.
- Flexible hardware profiles (Fortinet or MikroTik) that fit your budget.
- 24/7 proactive NOC monitoring. We negotiate with ISPs, consolidate billing, and handle tickets.
- Active-Active link bonding with sub-second path steering.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does SD-WAN compare to legacy MPLS?
MPLS provides high reliability but at a very high cost per megabit and slow provisioning cycles. SD-WAN delivers equivalent reliability by bonding multiple low-cost broadband lines active-active. By using multiple paths, SD-WAN often delivers less monthly downtime than a single MPLS link at a fraction of the total cost.
Can XTT bond Starlink with terrestrial lines?
Yes. Our SD-WAN edge configurations can bond satellite links (like Starlink) with local cellular LTE/5G or wireline connections. The software dynamically handles the latency differences to ensure stable VPN transit.
What hardware is used at the edge?
We deploy Fortinet FortiGate (40F/60F/80F) appliances for enterprise security mandates and MikroTik devices for cost-conscious SMB branches.
