SD WAN as a Service for Small and Mid Sized Businesses

Software-defined wide area networking gained increased attention as organizations looked for more flexible ways to manage distributed networks.

This legacy overview documents how i-NETT, formerly Voice Smart Networks, addressed SD-WAN-as-a-Service as part of broader discussions around WAN modernization for small and mid-sized businesses.

At the time, SD-WAN was widely evaluated as an alternative to traditional private WAN architectures. Industry research highlighted growing adoption across enterprise and branch environments as organizations sought improved application performance and simplified network management.

SD-WAN-as-a-Service was discussed in the context of reducing operational complexity while supporting multiple connectivity options. The model allowed businesses to centralize network control while using a combination of internet, MPLS, and other transport types based on availability and cost considerations.

The technology was positioned as a way to improve traffic routing efficiency and visibility across locations. Cost management and scalability were common evaluation factors, particularly for organizations with limited internal IT resources.

This historical perspective reflects how SD-WAN-as-a-Service was considered during a period of increased cloud adoption and distributed workforce planning. Current guidance on network architecture and connectivity strategies is maintained on the i-NETT cloud and communications solutions authority page.
