SD-WAN (Software Defined Wide Area Network)
Managing your Cluster or MAT's wide area network with SD-WAN
SD-WAN, short for software-defined wide area network, is a networking technology that uses software-defined networking to manage and optimise the performance of wide area networks (WANs).
How Does it Work?
SD-WAN enables Clusters and Multi-Academy Trusts (MATs) to securely connect users, applications and data across multiple locations, ensuring improved performance, reliability and scalability.

Works with any Connection.
SD-WAN works across any connection, including; multiprotocol label switching (MPLS), wireless, fibre and any third-party provider to give users across multiple schools access to applications, services and cloud resources.Resource Reduction.
SD-WAN also simplifies management by providing centralised control and visibility over the entire network. This allows your IT team to create rules and policies and then deploy them across an entire network at one time.
