Secure Software Defined Wide Area Network (SD-WAN) for Multi Academy Trusts (MATS)

MATs consist of geographically dispersed school sites where users have independent connections to each site and access to a range of applications (i.e. both local and in the cloud) that require a consistent quality of service in order to connect to resources and share them across the different sites.

As each of these sites requires substantial bandwidth, traditional WANs simply cannot keep up with expanding cloud-based performance needs across an extended education infrastructure. Furthermore, MATs are currently facing challenges regarding the price and flexibility of traditional WANs.

To better manage WAN investments, the adoption of SD-WAN offers improved performance, agility, and operational flexibility plus significant cost savings.
