SD-WAN Migration & WAN Modernization | Intelligent Visibility

Modern SD-WAN platforms change that, but only when designed and deployed right. Without a plan, SD-WAN can quickly create more problems than it solves:

Performance degradation from poor path selection
Insecure internet breakouts
Misaligned policies across sites
End-user frustration due to inconsistent app experiences

That’s why we take a structured, phased approach. Intelligent Visibility designs and executes SD-WAN migrations with clarity, precision, and business alignment at every step.

The Risks of a “Quick Cut” to SD-WAN

Incomplete Visibility: Without baselining app traffic, performance may suffer post-migration.
One-Size-Fits-All Design: Every site has unique requirements- generic overlays won’t cut it.
Security Gaps: Local internet access without integrated SASE or policy controls is a risk.
No Back-out Plan: A big-bang cutover can lead to business disruption and reputational damage.

SD-WAN Readiness & Performance Baselining

Before any changes, we capture a full view of your WAN’s current state:

Application traffic flows
Site-to-site routing patterns
Latency, jitter, and utilization benchmarks

This ensures your new SD-WAN overlay is designed to meet or exceed your current SLAs—and that you can measure success post-migration.

SD-WAN Overlay Design

We architect a resilient and application-aware overlay using:

Hub-and-spoke, full mesh, or hybrid topologies
Business-aligned routing policies and SLAs
Quality of Service (QoS) prioritization for voice, video, and real-time apps
Redundant path strategies with automated failover

Our designs are built for performance, uptime, and scalability- not just connectivity.

Phased Migration Planning

We create a step-by-step migration roadmap that balances speed with safety:

Site-by-site staged cutovers
Parallel operations (MPLS + SD-WAN) for testing and validation
Hybrid options for environments that require both for compliance or operational reasons

This reduces risk and ensures zero surprises during rollout.

Pilot Program & Proof-of-Concept

We always recommend starting small—with 1–3 sites—to:

Validate the design and overlay behavior
Measure real-world application performance
Train your team on SD-WAN operation

Lessons learned here drive smoother full-scale deployment.

Secure Local Internet Breakout & SASE Integration

To unlock the full value of SD-WAN, we implement secure direct-to-internet access at the branch:

Intelligent breakout policies based on app ID, SLA, or user role
Integrated security controls or policy enforcement with cloud firewalls or SASE platforms
Consistent policy and identity enforcement from core to cloud edge

This supports modern work without sacrificing control.

FAQs: SD-WAN Migration

Can we run SD-WAN and MPLS in parallel during the migration?

Yes. Most clients use a hybrid approach for a period of time. We design migration paths that support full coexistence until you’re ready to cut over.

Do we need to replace all our routers?

Not necessarily. Many SD-WAN platforms can run on existing hardware or as virtual appliances. We assess your environment and make cost-effective recommendations.

How long does a full SD-WAN migration take?

Timelines vary based on number of sites and complexity. Many clients start seeing value within 30–60 days with pilot and phased cutovers.

Can we integrate our SD-WAN with cloud security platforms (SASE)?

Yes. We routinely integrate SD-WAN deployments with SASE services like Zscaler, Prisma Access, and Cisco Umbrella to unify networking and security.

Do you support co-managed operations post-deployment?

Absolutely. Through our Aegis platform, we provide proactive monitoring, policy management, change assistance, and lifecycle support in a shared-operations model.

Build a Smarter, More Agile WAN

Legacy MPLS networks were never designed for the cloud-first, hybrid-work world. The cost is high. The flexibility is low. And adding new sites or optimizing for cloud traffic is painfully slow.
