Wide Area Network (WAN)

As many companies are national and global, they have business operations and subsequent networking demands at multiple locations. Companies that wish to remain competitive and relevant need intelligent, responsive networks to support their journeys.

For this, you need a Wide Area Network (WAN) to simultaneously support your overall chain of network driven operations.

Reflex Solutions builds, operates and maintains our own carrier grade, licensed telecommunications network.

We provide a high-performing WAN service that will also give your business access to centralised data centres or cloud services. We can architect, implement and manage WAN technologies. Our WAN services optimise data access and internet utilisation to suit your business’ requirements:

  • MPLS VPN
  • Internet VPN
  • Ethernet Private Network (EPN)
  • SD WAN

We also supply the following services to complete

  • 3rd party Interconnects
  • Internet breakout
  • Firewall

What is a Wide Area Network? (WAN)

A Wide Area Network (WAN) is a geographically distributed private telecommunications network that interconnects multiple Local Area Networks (LANs). In an enterprise, a WAN may consist of connections to a company's headquarters, branch offices, colocation facilities, cloud services and other facilities. Typically, a router or other multifunction device is used to connect a LAN to a WAN. Enterprise WANs allow users to share access to applications, services and other centrally located resources. This eliminates the need to install the same application server, firewall or other resource in multiple locations.

MPLS VPN

Invest in innovation

MPLS VPN supports growth in the volume and complexity of services that are needed to run a network, making it easy to add new sites as the network grows. It differentiates between types of traffic by quality of service and thereby allocates appropriate priority to each application of the VPN Service.

MPLS VPN has three distinct advantages:

  • Greater control – you get to decide which network traffic needs the fastest delivery so that it automatically gets the fastest bandwidth. You can also keep track of usage and trend reports, log service requests, and validate services to make sure you stay on top of your bandwidth needs.
  • Disaster recovery - having a secure, fast and reliable MPLS VPN means you can virtually reconnect remote sites to backup locations, route traffic over primary or secondary connections seamlessly
  • Convenience – a fully-managed MPLS network eliminates the hassle of dealing with encryption devices and complex routing schemes that make the do-it-yourself VPN option too complicated, costly, and time-consuming

What is MPLS VPN?

Multi - Protocol Label Switching Virtual Private Network (MPLS VPN) is a flexible method to transport and route several types of network traffic using an MPLS backbone. MPLS VPN provides the ability to utilise multiple different protocols and technologies for creating and managing communications in a VPN environment.

Metro ethernet

Reflex Solutions provides all your business locations with the same underlying bandwidth for applications and services – the same reliability, speed, availability and user experience.

With Reflex Solutions, our Metro EPN services deliver super-fast connectivity for business applications and services that require extensive bandwidth for optimal performance.

What is an Ethernet Switch?

This is a central station connecting computers, printers and every other wired device to each other. The switch is also wired to the router and modem to access the internet.

What is an Ethernet Private Network (EPN)?

The Ethernet Private Network is a combination between MPLS switching and Ethernet switching. Metro ethernet network is a metropolitan area network (MAN) that is based on ethernet standards. It is commonly used to connect subscribers to a larger service network or the internet. Businesses can also use metropolitan-area ethernet to connect their own offices to each other.

National Long Distance

National Long Distance (NLD) service refers to the carriage of switched-bearer telecommunications services over a long-distance network

Interconnect

Very often our clients with to connect to other networks. We are adept at supplying these connections quickly, at a low cost and effectively manage these connections. We are currently connected to over 100 different partners that you may want to connect to.

What is Interconnect?

Interconnect is the linking of two or more networks for the mutual exchange of traffic. It is a direct connection into another provider’s network.

SD WAN

Reflex Solutions provides a network that essentially functions as a service on a single device, so a business needs just one device at each location instead of a complicated arrangement of network hardware.

We then deploy branch applications and services as virtual network functions, and manage policies centrally, in the cloud. Businesses no longer have to spend precious time and resources trying to configure new sites on decentralised controllers.

Benefits:

  • No need to set up a stack of hardware appliances on site
  • Deploy shared apps remotely
  • Reduce network setup, management and maintenance costs
  • Take advantage of additional connectivity options for cloud, mobility and collaboration services
  • Change corporate networks and enhance existing infrastructures without disrupting any current processes. The need for a huge collection of physical devices falls away: updates and changes can be pushed down to even the remotest of branches at the touch of a button.
  • Steer traffic to a faster and better link. Having this intelligent bandwidth means one can support customer and employee connectivity choices on any device and communication channel.

What is SD WAN?

SD-WAN is an acronym for software-defined networking in a wide area network (WAN). An SD-WAN simplifies the management and operation of a WAN by decoupling (separating) the networking hardware from its control mechanism.
