Imagine what your enterprise can achieve with SteelConnect EX.

Create a modern network that propels business with agility and efficiency

Redefine possible with a software-defined WAN that gives your enterprise the power to manage a complex network landscape of hybrid WAN connectivity and applications spanning on-premises, SaaS and Cloud-based. Leverage zero-touch provisioning (ZTP), policy-based orchestration plus real-time visibility and analytics to streamline new site deployment, application roll-out, and network operations.

Expand capacity with Internet Broadband without compromising quality or reliability

Leverage policy-based application steering, dynamic traffic conditioning, and granular load-balancing to aggregate bandwidth from multiple WAN circuits and achieve target SLAs for performance and reliability. Incorporate Internet Broadband to augment or replace existing MPLS circuits without compromising link quality or reliability. And integrate with Azure Virtual WAN for an on-ramp to the Microsoft-powered backbone.

Azure Virtual WAN

Seamlessly integrate SD-WAN into your existing enterprise network

Confidently roll-out SD-WAN in phases leveraging an enterprise-class routing stack that seamlessly interoperates with your existing network and eliminates the need for complex and error-prone transit hub configurations. With rich routing features to support such as MP-BGP, IGP, L3VPN, VRRP, legacy network peering, bidirectional forwarding detection, VRF, multicast support and more, you can confidently navigate the roadblocks and pitfalls of brownfield deployments unscathed.

Deliver superior performance for any app, to anyone, anywhere

Deliver optimal user experience, even at sites suffering from high latency and/or limited bandwidth, using industry-leading application acceleration to boost the performance of on-premises, Cloud & SaaS-based applications by up to 33x or more.

Future proof your network security strategy

Leverage an advanced suite of integrated network services, including next-generation firewall (NGFW), intrusion detection and prevention services (IPS / IDS), anti-virus, malware protection, unified threat management (UTM) and more, to protect an expanded network perimeter that provides direct access to SaaS, Cloud and Internet-based applications and services at remote sites.

Benefits of the Enterprise SD-WAN Solution:

Agility:

Quickly respond to the needs of your business with application-defined, business intent-based policies that are centrally managed and applied network-wide across all remote enterprise locations, including zero-touch provisioning and rapid change management. Utilize comprehensive routing and application-aware path control to easily manage your global network.

Speed:

Deliver superior application performance to your business with industry-leading application optimization and end-to-end unified visibility with comprehensive network performance monitoring (NPM). Combing with SaaS acceleration, improve SaaS performance up to 33x by mitigating latency and reducing the bandwidth of up to 99% for leading enterprise SaaS applications, including Microsoft Office 365, Salesforce, ServiceNow, Box and more.

Cost-Effective:

Maximize the use of redundant and lower-cost connectivity options with zero-touch provisioning and centralized management to reduce the cost of deploying and maintaining hybrid WAN networks (MPLS and Internet) and hybrid architectures. Incrementally add new services without having to deploy all services at once future-proofing your WAN edge and reducing appliance sprawl at branches.

Security:

Choose the security architecture that best meets your needs. Backhaul the SaaS and Cloud traffic to the data center to centrally inspect the traffic or enable direct branch-to-Internet breakouts to deliver superior user experience for SaaS and cloud applications. With advanced security and application acceleration integrated with SD-WAN, application performance and security are no longer a trade-off.
