ConnectPlus Software-Defined WANEnterprise ChallengesAs enterprise applications move into the cloud and employees become more mobile, your organisation has to deal with the increasingly complex wide area network (WAN) environments that combine multiple private networks and public Internet services.

The complex configuration required to ensure that these different network services can work together, the lack of flexibility when it comes to scheduling network resources, and limited visibility into WAN performance across the different networks are

all additional challenges to manage.

What is Software-Defined WAN?Singtel ConnectPlus Software-Defined Wide Area Network (WAN) helps simplify the WAN environment by establishing a unified network plane across disparate networks and providing a central hosted solution for WAN management. This gives your enterprise better visibility into the entire WAN, simplifying network management so that you have better control over issues such as performance, bandwidth and security.

Changes in network policies or resource allocation can also be managed centrally and rolled out across the enterprise in real time, allowing your organisation to respond dynamically to new business challenges.
