SD-WAN

All your UK sites connected on one intelligent network.

SD-WAN multi-site connectivity brings every office, warehouse, retail site, and remote worker onto a single managed network. Resilient, cost-effective, and centrally controlled. New sites added in under an hour.

Capabilities

Connecting every location in your UK business network.

Our SD-WAN multi-site connectivity service handles any combination of site types, connectivity technologies, and locations across the UK.

Any-to-Any Site Connectivity

Every site connected to every other site over encrypted SD-WAN tunnels. No hub-and-spoke backhauling through head office. Direct site-to-site communication reduces latency and head office bandwidth consumption.

Any-to-AnyDirect Site LinksMesh Topology

Mixed Connectivity Support

SD-WAN works across any combination of broadband, leased line, 4G, 5G, and MPLS. Each site uses the connectivity type that suits its location and budget. All links managed and monitored from one platform.

Rapid New Site Deployment

New sites added to your SD-WAN network in under an hour using zero touch provisioning. Hardware ships pre-configured. No engineer travel required. Your network grows as fast as your business.

Zero TouchRapid DeploymentScalable

Automatic Failover Between Sites

If a site loses its primary connection, traffic automatically reroutes through alternative paths or links. Other sites continue to communicate without interruption. Business continuity built into the network architecture.

Remote Worker Integration

Remote workers connected to the SD-WAN fabric with the same security and QoS policies as office users. Home workers, field staff, and mobile users all part of the same managed network.

Per-Site Performance Visibility

Individual dashboards for every site showing link utilisation, application performance, and user experience. Problems at specific sites identified and resolved without affecting the rest of the network.

How It Works

From site inventory to fully connected UK network.

01

Site Inventory and Requirements

We document every site, its current connectivity, user count, and application requirements. This forms the basis of the SD-WAN topology design and connectivity specification.

02

Topology and Connectivity Design

SD-WAN topology designed for your specific site mix. Connectivity types specified for each site based on requirements and budget. Failover paths and redundancy built into the design.

03

Connectivity Procurement

Where new or upgraded connectivity is required, we manage procurement from UK carriers. Broadband, leased lines, and 4G/5G all sourced and coordinated to align with the deployment schedule.

04

Phased Site Rollout

Sites brought online in a planned sequence. Head office or primary site first, then branch sites. Each site validated before the next begins. Existing connectivity maintained throughout.

05

Failover Testing

Failover tested at every site by simulating link failures. Automatic recovery confirmed. Failover times measured and documented. Any issues resolved before the deployment is signed off.

06

Handover and Ongoing Management

Full documentation produced covering every site, link, and policy. Ongoing management provided by IPFour or handed to your team with full training and support.

Real Results

How we have connected UK businesses across multiple sites.

Retail Chain Network Refresh

A UK fashion retailer with 22 stores was running each store on independent broadband connections with no central management. Network problems at individual stores went undetected until staff called the helpdesk.

SD-WAN deployed across all 22 stores with 4G failover at each site. Centralised management dashboard providing real-time visibility of every store. Three network issues resolved proactively in the first month before any store impact.

Professional Services Expansion

A Lancashire accountancy firm was opening two new regional offices and needed them connected to the head office network on day one. Their existing MPLS provider quoted a 90-day lead time for new circuits.

SD-WAN deployed at head office and both new offices using broadband with 4G backup. Both new offices live on opening day. Total deployment time 3 weeks. Cost 60% less than the MPLS quote.

Manufacturing Multi-Site ERP

A Blackburn manufacturer with a head office and 3 production facilities needed reliable ERP connectivity across all sites. MPLS costs were increasing and performance was inconsistent.

SD-WAN replacing MPLS across all 4 sites. ERP performance improved through traffic prioritisation. WAN costs reduced by 52%. New production facility added 6 months later in under 2 hours using zero touch provisioning.

Ready to Connect All Your Sites?

One network for every location in your UK business.

We will design an SD-WAN topology that connects all your sites reliably and cost-effectively. Most multi-site deployments are completed within 4 to 6 weeks with no disruption to live services.
