SD-WAN
SD-WAN replaces expensive MPLS with intelligent routing over broadband — cutting WAN costs 30–60% while improving cloud performance. Fibi sources and negotiates SD-WAN from Aryaka, Fortinet, Versa, Cato, and 50+ vendors on your behalf, at no charge.

What Is It
SD-WAN (Software-Defined Wide Area Network) uses software to intelligently route traffic across multiple internet connections — fiber, broadband, LTE — choosing the fastest, most reliable path in real time. Instead of sending all traffic over a single expensive MPLS circuit, SD-WAN makes every dollar of bandwidth work harder.
The result: better performance for cloud applications, lower monthly WAN spend, and centralized visibility across every location from a single dashboard. For businesses with 3+ locations, SD-WAN has replaced MPLS as the default WAN architecture.
Fibi compares managed SD-WAN services from 50+ vendors — including carrier-managed options from AT&T, Comcast, and Lumen, and independent platforms like Aryaka, Cato Networks, and Fortinet — and presents you with a side-by-side cost and capability comparison.
Why It Matters
Replace per-site MPLS circuits with dual broadband or fiber connections. SD-WAN's intelligent routing delivers MPLS-quality performance at internet-bandwidth pricing.
SD-WAN detects and prioritizes traffic destined for Microsoft 365, Salesforce, and other SaaS apps — sending them via the lowest-latency path instead of backhauling through your data center.
Monitor all locations, circuits, and application performance from one dashboard. No more logging into each site separately or calling the carrier to diagnose an outage.
Most SD-WAN platforms include next-gen firewall, intrusion detection, and encrypted tunnels between sites — reducing the need for separate security appliances at each location.
When a circuit fails, SD-WAN fails over to the backup path in milliseconds — often before users notice. This is far faster than traditional WAN failover, which can take minutes.
Zero-touch provisioning means new locations can be brought online in days, not months. Ship a device, plug it in, and the site is live — no on-site engineer required.
The Fibi Advantage
Who Needs This
Businesses with 5–500+ locations benefit most from SD-WAN — centralized management, consistent policy enforcement, and bulk carrier pricing across all sites.
POS systems, inventory management, and guest Wi-Fi require reliable, low-latency connectivity at every location. SD-WAN provides it at a fraction of MPLS cost.
EHR systems, telemedicine, and HIPAA compliance requirements demand consistent, secure connectivity. SD-WAN with integrated security satisfies all three.
SASE-enabled SD-WAN extends secure, optimized connectivity to remote employees — replacing legacy VPN with zero-trust access and local internet breakout.
If your MPLS contracts are coming up for renewal, SD-WAN is the natural replacement. Fibi manages the migration — carrier coordination, cutover planning, and fallback.
If 60%+ of your traffic goes to SaaS apps, routing everything through a central data center wastes bandwidth. SD-WAN's local internet breakout fixes this.
