Stop backhauling cloud traffic. Route it direct.
SD-WAN cloud optimisation routes Microsoft 365, Salesforce, and your other SaaS applications directly to the internet from every site. Faster performance, less head office congestion, and lower bandwidth costs across your entire UK network.
Faster cloud applications at every site in your UK network.
Our SD-WAN cloud optimisation service eliminates the backhaul bottleneck and routes every cloud application over the optimal path from every site.
Direct Internet Access per Site
Cloud and SaaS traffic routed directly to the internet from each branch site rather than backhauled through head office. Eliminates the head office bottleneck and dramatically reduces latency for cloud applications at every location.
Microsoft 365 Optimisation
Microsoft 365 traffic identified and routed to Microsoft peering points using the optimal path. Teams calls, SharePoint, and Exchange all benefit from reduced latency and improved reliability. Microsoft-recommended SD-WAN integration patterns applied.
Intelligent Cloud Application Steering
Over 3,000 cloud applications recognised and steered to the best available path automatically. Salesforce, ServiceNow, Zoom, and hundreds of other SaaS applications all benefit from application-aware routing without manual configuration.
Secure Cloud Access
Direct internet access does not mean unprotected internet access. Cloud security services inspect all internet-bound traffic before it reaches cloud applications. Malware, phishing, and data exfiltration all blocked at the cloud edge.
Cloud Application Performance Monitoring
Real-time monitoring of cloud application performance from every site. Response times, availability, and user experience all measured continuously. Performance degradation at any site identified immediately and investigated.
Bandwidth Cost Reduction
Eliminating cloud traffic backhaul through head office reduces head office bandwidth consumption significantly. Smaller head office internet connection required. Savings on head office bandwidth often offset the cost of SD-WAN deployment.
From cloud audit to optimised performance across every site.
Cloud Application Audit
We identify every cloud and SaaS application in use across your organisation, its traffic volume, and its current routing path. This reveals the backhaul burden and quantifies the optimisation opportunity.
Optimisation Architecture Design
SD-WAN cloud optimisation architecture designed. Direct internet access configured for appropriate sites. Cloud application steering policies defined. Security inspection integrated into the direct access path.
Microsoft 365 Integration
Microsoft 365 traffic policies configured following Microsoft recommended SD-WAN integration patterns. Teams, Exchange, and SharePoint all optimised. Microsoft 365 connectivity score measured before and after.
Pilot Deployment and Measurement
Cloud optimisation deployed at a pilot site. Application performance measured before and after. Latency improvements, bandwidth savings, and user experience improvements all documented.
Full Rollout
Cloud optimisation deployed across all sites. Performance improvements validated at each site. Head office bandwidth consumption measured and confirmed reduced.
Ongoing Performance Management
Cloud application performance monitored continuously. New SaaS applications added to steering policies as they are deployed. Regular performance reviews ensure optimisation keeps pace with your cloud adoption.
How we have improved cloud performance for UK businesses.
Microsoft Teams Quality Improvement
A Lancashire professional services firm with 6 offices was backhauling all Microsoft 365 traffic through head office. Teams call quality was poor at branch offices and SharePoint was slow. Head office internet was saturated.
SD-WAN deployed with Microsoft 365 direct internet access at all 6 offices. Teams call quality improved immediately. SharePoint load times reduced by 60%. Head office internet consumption reduced by 45%. No additional bandwidth purchased.
Salesforce Performance at Branch Sites
A UK sales organisation with 8 regional offices was experiencing slow Salesforce performance at branch sites. Sales staff were losing time waiting for CRM screens to load. The issue was traced to backhaul through a congested head office link.
SD-WAN cloud steering configured to route Salesforce traffic directly from each branch. Salesforce response times reduced by 55% at branch offices. Sales team productivity improved. Head office link congestion eliminated.
Multi-Cloud Access Optimisation
A Blackburn technology company was using AWS, Azure, and multiple SaaS applications across 4 sites. Cloud performance was inconsistent and the IT team had no visibility of which applications were performing poorly and why.
SD-WAN deployed with per-application cloud steering and performance monitoring. AWS and Azure traffic routed to optimal peering points. SaaS applications steered to best available path. IT team now has real-time visibility of cloud performance across all sites.
Faster cloud applications at every site without spending more on bandwidth.
We will audit your cloud application traffic and show you exactly how much latency and bandwidth you can save by routing cloud traffic directly from each site rather than backhauling through head office.
