SD-WAN for every site.
One network to manage.
SD-WAN routes traffic across the best available connection, giving every site dependable access to cloud systems, calls and business applications.

- →Built-in connection resilience
- →Central network control
- →Better use of spend
- →Secure site connectivity
A simpler multi-site network
Traditional wide-area networks can be costly and slow to change. SD-WAN uses software to choose the best available route for each application, across leased lines, broadband or mobile backup. Important traffic gets priority, while less critical activity uses the capacity available.
For a Finance Director, that means clearer control over network spend and less dependence on expensive MPLS links. New offices can be connected faster, and performance can be managed centrally instead of site by site. Wanzo manages design and deployment, then monitors the service, with cybersecurity and business connectivity available through the same monthly relationship. Your teams and automated workflows get reliable access to the systems they use, without needing in-house networking specialists.
What's included
Intelligent traffic routing
SD-WAN checks each available connection and sends application traffic along the most suitable route. Priority systems receive the capacity they need during busy periods or disruption.
- •Routing based on application needs
- •Automatic path selection
- •Priority for critical traffic
Built-in connection resilience
If one connection fails or slows down, traffic can move to another available route. That helps offices stay productive without waiting for a manual network change.
- •Automatic connection failover
- •Support for backup links
- •Continuous path health checks
Central network control
Policies, performance and site connections are managed from one central platform. You'll gain a consistent view across the estate instead of managing separate devices at every location.
- •One view across sites
- •Consistent network policies
- •Simpler change management
Better use of spend
SD-WAN can combine different connection types, reducing reliance on MPLS where it doesn't offer good value. Existing MPLS can remain where the business case supports it.
- •Use suitable links per site
- •Retain MPLS where needed
- •Match cost to requirements
Secure site connectivity
Traffic between locations is encrypted, with security policies applied consistently across the network. Wanzo can manage Fortinet technology and wider cybersecurity alongside your SD-WAN service.
- •Encrypted traffic between locations
- •Consistent security policies
- •Managed cybersecurity available
Managed rollout and support
We'll assess your sites, applications and current contracts before planning the change. Deployment is managed around operational needs, followed by 24/7 monitoring and ongoing support.
- •Network assessment and design
- •Planned deployment by site
- •Ongoing monitoring and support
Why businesses choose Wanzo
One accountable provider
Wanzo can manage SD-WAN, internet connections, cloud systems and cybersecurity through one monthly relationship. You'll have one team responsible for the network and, where needed, the AI services running across it.
Built around your estate
We design the network around actual sites, applications, resilience needs and budgets. The recommended connection mix reflects the job each location must do, rather than applying one standard package.
Technology under active management
Monitoring runs 24/7, backed by a four-hour response commitment and a 99.9% uptime SLA. Wanzo supports UK businesses from its London headquarters, with delivery across the country.
Questions people ask
What is SD-WAN and how does it work?
SD-WAN is a software-managed way to connect offices, cloud services and business applications across multiple internet connections. It monitors each available route and directs traffic according to performance and business priority. A video call can take a low-latency path while routine traffic uses another. If a link degrades, traffic can switch automatically. This gives the business central control and better use of its existing connectivity without requiring each site to be managed separately.
How much does SD-WAN cost in the UK?
SD-WAN pricing in the UK depends on the number of sites, connection types, bandwidth, resilience, security and support required. Wanzo reviews your current network and supplier contracts before proposing a monthly managed service. The price reflects the connections and equipment at each location, plus deployment and ongoing management. The quote won't assume every office needs the same setup, so costs follow the capacity and backup routes the business actually needs.
Can SD-WAN replace MPLS?
Yes, SD-WAN can replace MPLS for many multi-site businesses, but a full replacement isn't always the right commercial choice. It can also combine MPLS with leased lines, business broadband or mobile backup, then route traffic according to application needs. Wanzo assesses performance, contract terms, site criticality and resilience before recommending the mix. This lets you retain MPLS where it earns its cost and use other connections where they offer better value.
Is SD-WAN secure?
Yes, SD-WAN can securely connect business locations when it is designed, configured and monitored properly. Traffic between sites can be encrypted, while central policies keep controls consistent across the network. Security still depends on identity, device, cloud and endpoint protection beyond the connection itself. Wanzo can manage cybersecurity alongside SD-WAN, using technology from partners including Fortinet, Microsoft and Cisco, so network changes don't sit outside the wider security plan.
What are the benefits of SD-WAN for a multi-site business?
SD-WAN helps multi-site businesses improve resilience and control network costs from one central platform. It can prioritise important applications and move traffic when a route degrades, while making practical use of different connection types. Finance teams gain a clearer view of what each location needs. IT teams spend less time managing separate network devices. The value is strongest for businesses that depend on cloud systems or want less reliance on MPLS.
