SD-WAN implementation for DTEK: Optimization of the network infrastructure

With the growth of data volumes and requirements to the speed and quality of communication, DTEK, like many other leading market players, found it necessary to upgrade its WAN infrastructure. The existing equipment no longer met modern requirements, in particular, it did not allow the use of high-speed channels for new services. This situation prompted DTEK to look for a more flexible, reliable and scalable solution, which led to the implementation of SD-WAN, which became the basis of their digital transformation and stable operation.

The implementation of SD-WAN was a key step in DTEK's digital transformation. This solution allowed us to:

- Increase flexibility and efficiency: SD-WAN provided dynamic scaling of the network, simplified its administration and optimized traffic routing.

- Ensure uninterrupted operation under martial law: SD-WAN has become a “transport” for all DTEK communications, ensuring high quality of communication and fast relocation of management centers.

- To support the work of geographically distributed branches: The SD-WAN solution met DTEK's specific business needs by optimizing the network infrastructure and maintaining communication between numerous branches.

The implementation of the SD-WAN architecture in DTEK Group has brought significant benefits

- SD-WAN implementation allowed DTEK to ensure efficient expansion, improve cooperation and ensure a high level of security

- Easy expansion of communication channels as needed: the flexibility and easy scalability of the network allow for easy expansion of operations to new branches.

- Minimize information security risks through simplified management via a centralized interface that allows you to quickly make changes to network settings and eliminate vulnerabilities in network equipment and software.

- Quickly connect branches anywhere, reducing zero-time provisioning to a few hours

- Improved user experiencein applications due to anomalies in the network of communication providers. SD-WAN improves the quality and stability of voice and video communications, which improves team collaboration.

- Reduced operational time through automation and error reduction, which frees up IT staff time to participate in business development projects.

- Increase productivity with network traffic optimization and dynamic link load balancing with VMware SD-WAN.

- Security and reliability with full network visibility for effective threat detection and remediation, as well as support for modern encryption methods.
