Do you remember a specific instance when your website went down while it was getting heavy visits? If you can remember, that is super irritating! A SD-WAN is what you need in this situation. This is not merely a technical jargon, but keeps all your servers connected, optimized, and performing well even when you have a network issue. Let me discuss this for you.

What Is SD-WAN?​

SD-WAN (Software Defined Wide Area Network) allows hosting providers to control many internet connections (broadband, MPLS, LTE, etc.) from one dashboard.

• It selects the best route for your data.

• It manages traffic so no one connection is overwhelmed.

• It regularly monitors networks, live, and prevents any down time.

Have you ever wondered why some websites never seem to slow down? SD-WAN ensures that data is always taking the fastest route.

Why SD-WAN Is Good for Hosting​

Keeps Websites Online

If one connection goes down, SD-WAN will automatically use another one to keep your site online, reducing downtime.

Faster Performance

SD-WAN will find less busy network connections, allowing, faster loading times for websites. Websites that use a SD-WAN will avoid throttled speeds or even crashing when usage increases on one connection, unlike if they were using one connection.

Costs Less

You don’t require those expensive dedicated connections. SD-WAN can use lesser cost connections and still keep everything reliable.

Features Hosting Companies Love​

• Automatic failover – Instantly switches to backup connections

• Centralized control – Control and manage all networks from one platform

• Traffic prioritization – Important applications get prioritized speed

• Reporting and analytics – Proactively ensures problems are found and addressed

I have seen websites go from crashing all of the time to hardly ever downtimes because of using SD-WAN. It feels like magic.

Considerations​

  • Configuration requires hard work - ensure it is done correctly
  • Skills of your team is relevant - staff should ensure they know how to provide multiple connections
  • You will still need to monitor - even SD-WAN performs better when monitored

In Conclusion​

SD-WAN provides a reliable, fast, and affordable hosting network. If you want your websites to remain functioning during traffic spikes, then this is an excellent option to choose.

When you appreciate how quickly a website is loading, chances are SD-WAN is at work in the background. Once you experience SD-WAN, you will not want to go back to 1 internet connection.
