zWAN ACI – SD-WAN USE CASE

Always Connected Internet (ACI) – SD-WAN for Uninterrupted Connectivity

Use Case: Businesses require a reliable, secure, and cost-effective solution to maintain uninterrupted internet connectivity and optimize network performance across multiple locations.

In today’s digital landscape, businesses heavily rely on consistent and efficient internet connectivity to maintain operations, communicate effectively, and deliver services. However, many organizations face challenges such as network downtime, escalating bandwidth demands, and complex network management, which can hinder productivity and profitability. The result of internet outages or slowdowns is very costly to organizations in the form of lost revenue, worker productivity or even loss of customer satisfaction. AmZetta’s Always Connected Internet (ACI) solution leverages Software-Defined Wide Area Network (SD-WAN) technology to address these issues, offering reliable, secure, and cost-effective internet access by aggregating multiple WAN connections.

Common Connectivity Challenges:

Network Downtime

Unplanned outages can severely disrupt business operations, leading to lost revenue and diminished customer trust.

Increasing Bandwidth Demands

As businesses adopt more cloud-based applications and services, the need for higher bandwidth grows, often outpacing existing network capacities.

Complex Network Management

Managing multiple network connections across various locations can be cumbersome, requiring significant IT resources and expertise.

Security Threats

Networks are continually exposed to cyber threats, necessitating robust security measures to protect sensitive data.

How AmZetta’s ACI Addresses These Challenges:

Uninterrupted Connectivity

Outages may not be all that frequent, but disruptions and slowdowns are more common. ACI integrates various WAN connections, including broadband, 4G LTE, and 5G, to ensure continuous and high-performance internet access. By intelligently combining multiple WAN links, ACI dynamically adjusts traffic flow to maintain optimal bandwidth utilization and prevent downtime.

Enhanced Security

ACI employs Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) to monitor and analyze network traffic in real-time, identifying and mitigating potential threats. Built-in Intrusion Prevention System/Intrusion Detection System (IPS/IDS) capabilities protect the network from unauthorized access and malicious activities. Secure encrypted VPN tunnels ensure that data transmitted across the network remains confidential and protected from interception.

Simplified Network Management

The zWAN Director provides a cloud-based or on-prem centralized console for managing all branch networks, simplifying configuration, monitoring, and policy enforcement. Real-time reporting offers insights into network performance and application usage across all locations, facilitating informed decision-making and proactive management.

Improved Network Performance

Load balancing with dynamic path selection, data steering and intelligent traffic routing optimize bandwidth usage, leading to reduced latency and better application performance.

Ideal Use Cases:

Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises (SMEs)

SMEs can maintain business continuity with ACI’s failover capabilities, ensuring that operations are not disrupted by internet outages.

Retail Chains

Retail businesses with multiple locations can provide a uniform and reliable customer experience by ensuring all sites have uninterrupted connectivity.

Remote Offices and Branches

ACI enables remote offices to securely connect to the main corporate network, facilitating efficient communication and data sharing.

Healthcare Providers

Medical facilities depend on constant access to patient records and communication systems. ACI ensures these systems remain operational, supporting quality patient care.

Conclusion:

AmZetta’s Always Connected Internet (ACI) solution effectively addresses the prevalent challenges of network downtime, escalating bandwidth demands, complex network management, and security threats. By leveraging SD-WAN technology, ACI provides businesses with uninterrupted connectivity, enhanced security, simplified management, cost savings, and improved network performance, making it an ideal choice for organizations seeking reliable and efficient internet solutions.
