SD-WAN

If your business runs across several sites and leans on the cloud, a fixed, single-path network holds you back. SD-WAN makes smarter use of every connection you have. Cratsol helps you design it and supplies the hardware to run it.

One fixed path was never built for cloud-first work

Traditional networks send all your traffic down a single, fixed route, often back through a central site before it even reaches the internet. For a business that lives in Microsoft 365, Teams, and other cloud tools, that means slower applications, wasted bandwidth, and a whole site knocked offline the moment one connection fails.

SD-WAN takes a smarter approach. It sits over the connections you already have and routes each type of traffic along the best path available, so your network works with the way your business actually runs.

Your connections, working intelligently

Application-aware routing

Video calls, voice, and business applications are recognised and given the best route automatically, ahead of routine traffic like updates and backups.

Automatic failover

If one connection fails, traffic switches to another within seconds, with no outage for your team and nothing to do by hand.

Every connection used

Leased lines, broadband, and mobile are pooled and used together, instead of leaving paid-for capacity sitting idle.

Cloud traffic, direct

Cloud applications go straight out to the internet at each site, rather than being dragged through a central hub first.

SD-WAN is likely right for you if...

You run two or more sites connected over a wide-area network.

Your cloud applications perform inconsistently from one site to another.

You need the network to keep running when a connection fails.

You want one clear view of your network across every location.

You are opening new sites and need a setup that scales.

FAQ UI - Radius + Full Width Mobile
How is SD-WAN different from a traditional network?
−
A traditional network sends traffic down fixed paths. SD-WAN chooses the best available path for each type of traffic, and switches automatically if a connection fails.
Does SD-WAN replace my leased line?
+
No. SD-WAN manages your connections; a leased line is one of them. It works over your leased line, broadband, and mobile, and makes better use of them together.
Is SD-WAN only for large companies?
+
No. Any business with more than one site, or heavy cloud use, can benefit, not just large enterprises.
Do you supply the hardware?
+
Yes. We supply the SD-WAN appliances and networking hardware, matched to your sites and connections.
