SD-WAN and SASE tailored for enterprise systems with configurable, built-in security

The enterprise wide area network (WAN) challenge is growing in both cost and complexity. Large networks, bandwidth demands, growing numbers of locations and multi-cloud access are forcing enterprises to look at new WAN architectures. Software-defined WAN (SD-WAN) brings an additional advantage as it uses network virtualization to utilize, manage, and secure network transport over the internet.

Kyndryl SD-WAN Services offers cloud-based WAN infrastructure for fully managed SD-WAN services and cloud connectivity to enterprises in a multi-cloud environment. We design and build next-gen networks harnessing SDN, SD-WAN, SASE, AI-Ops, and Network Automation capabilities.

Intelligent SD-WAN

Intelligent SD-WAN is a fully managed offering that will transform your existing WAN into a modern, programmable SD-WAN infrastructure. The offering includes our unique Kyndryl Network and Edge AIOps platform, which provides a unified single-view interface to your network. You get visibility across all aspects of the SD-WAN infrastructure, including status monitoring, ticketing information, and the ability to track the rollout of the SD-WAN environment in real-time.

 

Kyndryl Intelligent SD-WAN can help you:

 

- Reduce and better predict costs with a pay-as-you-go billing model and as-a-service delivery model. Software-defined infrastructure helps streamline and automate network maintenance to reduce costly manual upkeep.

- Intelligently route traffic. With SD-WAN you can route voice and video or highly sensitive business traffic across expensive dedicated circuits while using less expensive connectivity options for additional traffic. This can provide a drastic reduction in your multiprotocol label switching (MPLS) costs.

- Simplify your WAN. Dramatically simplify the provisioning and management of the network through orchestration and automation.

WAN interconnect

WAN interconnect services helps you roll out new sites or add more WAN capacity quickly by leveraging a broadband internet bandwidth. It augments the MPLS network instead of trying to orchestrate IT, network, and software changes to purchase more MPLS capacity.

 

Key capabilities include:

 

- Central management and cloud-based controls

- End-to-end encryption

- Multi-path and multi-link support with dynamic path selection

- Path conditioning and WAN optimization

- Security and firewalling services

- Quality of service traffic prioritization with forwarding error correction

- Policy-based controls and service chaining

- Local breakout for cloud services

WAN aggregation & peering services

WAN aggregation & peering services provide automated aggregation, load sharing, and integration across multiple providers in a hybrid and multi cloud environment. Carrier neutral colocation interconnects multiple carrier networks, cloud providers, and internet connections across geographies. The platform links multiple providers' MPLS networks and internet virtual private networks (VPNs) to enable a seamless WAN infrastructure. This platform is foundational to enable multiple products and service models with simultaneous go-to-market options to meet customer requirements.

 

Key capabilities include:

 

- Geo diversity for maximum business continuity and resiliency 

- Direct and scalable links into multiple cloud providers via cloud exchange or dedicated links

- Secured hybrid access to MPLS and internet

- Transport platform for SD-WAN solution

- Multi-tenant virtual routing and forwarding (VRF)/VPN platform

- Fast cross connects to carriers given due to presence at “carrier hotels”

- Carrier independent

- BYOP (bring your own provider) facilitates the integration of client-preferred network carrier(s)

- Transition, transformation, and migration platform
