SD-WAN vs Cisco’s Flex VPN
Many companies are moving to SD-WAN services to increase performance and enhance security while adding redundancy to multiple sites. Cisco's Flex VPN is a little-known means of connecting sites securely even when there are backup Internet circuits.
All traffic is encrypted with Flex VPN. If one connection goes down, No Problem! The traffic is routed to one of the other connections. There are no subscription fees and the Cisco Flex VPN can run on most Cisco Integrated Service Routers like the ISR4000 series. Many older models work, too.
The Cisco Flex VPN is a great cost-effective alternative to an SD-WAN
Network Support Professionals (NSPros) can help your organization to learn if a Flex VPN is right for you. ...And if not, NSPros can help plan and deploy an SD-WAN that is right for you.
We know Cisco Meraki SD-WAN. We know Cisco Enterprise SD-WAN (formerly Viptela) and we know HPE Aruba EdgeConnect (formerly Silverpeak). NSPros can help you procure and deploy any of the above.
NSPros also resells Managed SD-WAN services from providers like AT&T, Verizon and Comcast and many others. We know the strengths and weakness for these providers. We can help navigate the SD-WAN landscape and demystify the sales hype so your organization knows what they're getting.
If your organization favors Managed SD-WAN Services from a provider, NSPros can ensure you do not overpay.
Here's how: There's a dirty little secret within the provider community and most all providers do this. There may be 7 different subscription plans offered by a big provider. But because your organization is forced to deal with a sales person (who is paid on commission) you will only be offered the plans that bring in the most profits for the provider. So, even though 7 different plans exist, you may only be given 3 different plans because those 3 plans are the most profitable.
NSPros has access to ALL the plans AND special promotions that are seldom offered to the general public. NSPros can prevent your organization from overpaying.
