For multi-site organizations that have outgrown basic connectivity, Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN delivers a secure, high-performance network foundation on a single cloud-managed platform — with AI-powered automation that keeps applications fast everywhere.
Why it's a step up from basic SD-WAN
- AI-powered automation proactively identifies issues and automates configuration — reducing manual intervention and human error.
- Enhanced application-aware routing detects tunnel degradation and switches to a better path in as little as 10 seconds — before users notice.
- Built-in, industry-leading security from the cloud to the edge — Cisco reports security efficacy roughly 25% above the industry average.
- Multicloud & SaaS optimization accelerates Microsoft 365 and other cloud apps with direct cloud breakout and intelligent path selection.
- Centralized management via Catalyst SD-WAN Manager with global search and guided Day-0 setup.
What IDENETY delivers: we design the SD-WAN policy, stage and deploy the edges (Catalyst or Meraki MX), integrate secure cloud breakout, and manage it as part of your plan — so you get enterprise capability without an enterprise IT team. See also our Cisco SASE guide for the security layer that pairs with SD-WAN.
Ideal for
Businesses with 2+ locations, remote/hybrid workforces, heavy cloud/SaaS use, or anyone paying too much for rigid MPLS. The result: resilient connectivity, consistent user experience, and simplified branch operations.
| Transport | Role in SD-WAN fabric |
|---|---|
| Broadband / DIA | Primary path — low cost, high bandwidth |
| MPLS | Reliable secondary or QoS-sensitive traffic |
| 5G / LTE | Failover or primary for remote/mobile sites |
