Secure SD-WAN
Sangfor Secure SD-WAN
Managing a Wide Area Network (WAN) becomes increasingly challenging for businesses as they expand to multiple locations. Critical functions such as seamless data transmission and uninterrupted application access often face hurdles. Additionally, traditional WAN solutions, like MPLS and leased lines, impose high operational costs, highlighting the demand for a smarter, more adaptable solution.
As the official distributor of Sangfor products, Spollex introduces the Sangfor Secure SD-WAN—an advanced solution designed to tackle these challenges. By leveraging software-defined architecture, Sangfor SD-WAN separates control functions from physical network infrastructure, streamlining the management of complex multi-branch networks.
The Sangfor Secure SD-WAN ensures secure, efficient, and reliable connectivity across locations. Its Network Secure device serves as a robust gatekeeper at the network’s edge, meticulously regulating access and permitting only authorized traffic. This approach guarantees the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of your data, empowering businesses to scale with confidence and agility.
Transform your WAN management experience with Spollex and Sangfor’s cutting-edge SD-WAN solution.
Secure SD-WAN Components
Challenges at Network Edges
Resilience
Link failover can cause significant business interruptions, while poor link quality directly affects core operations. Limited WAN bandwidth often struggles to meet business demands, and expanding MPLS or utilizing multiple links can lead to high costs, creating further challenges for organizations.
Security
Workplace challenges include gaming and streaming during work hours, the internal spread of malicious files via networks or USB drives, and the need for botnet detection and prevention. Organizations must also address zero-day exploits from branches and protect against ransomware and APT attacks.
Management
Challenges include reliance on engineers for onsite deployment and troubleshooting, complex configurations, and lack of visibility into branch business activities.
What Solution Do You Need
Resilience
Seamless link failover, dynamic path selection, and cost-effective IPSec VPN over internet links ensure an improved user experience.
Security
Management
Reduce link and management costs with zero-touch deployment, unified policy control, centralized traffic and security visibility, and streamlined security operations.
Secure SD-WAN Key Values
Integrated Security
The Secure SD-WAN solution not only ensures safe connections but also enhances network security with features like IPS, Application Control, URL Filtering, APT Prevention, and Malware Inspection. The SoC Lite module continuously monitors for potential attacks and vulnerabilities, ensuring comprehensive protection against various threats.
Centralized Policy & Report Management
Centralized policy and report management in SD-WAN simplifies the process of setting and overseeing network rules and generates easy-to-understand reports about network performance and security incidents, ensuring consistent and effective security measures across the network.
Optimal Network Performance
Network Secure’s SOFAST Optimization sends redundant packets to minimize packet loss and uses the FEC algorithm to rebuild lost packets. This reduces packet loss at the application level, ensuring an optimal access experience.
Cost Effective
The solution offers a cost-effective alternative to traditional WAN solutions by optimizing bandwidth usage and reducing reliance on expensive MPLS links. By consolidating network and security functions into a single platform, organizations can achieve significant cost savings while improving network performance and security.
Integration with Endpoint Secure
Integrating Network Secure with Endpoint Secure allows for the correlation of network and endpoint data, thereby improving the detection of security threats and attacks. Verified incidents can easily be mitigated with one click on Network Secure.
Hybrid Load balancing
Seamlessly integrates with hybrid WAN architectures, allowing businesses to leverage multiple network connections, including MPLS, broadband, and LTE, to create a resilient and cost-effective network infrastructure.

Frequently Asked Question
What is an SD-WAN?
An SD-WAN (software defined wide area network) is a software-defined wide-area network that allows for the use of multiple WAN technologies such as MPLS, Frame Relay, ATM, Ethernet, etc. The main benefit of enterprises using an SD-WAN product is that it allows for the deployment of different protocols across the same physical infrastructure. This makes it easier to deploy new services and keep costs down.
