While SMEs can obviously benefit from SD-WAN, it might currently be out of reach. That’s where Liieren Digital Network Platform with Intelligent Edges enters as the perfect stepping-stone and accompaniment to adopt SD-WAN. SMBs using Liieren’s QoS SD-WAN service can choose from either a broadband internet connection and a MPLS connection, two broadband connections or a single broadband connection. Jitter buffering and forward error correction (FEC) are also available in the event of broadband internet connection glitches. Liieren brings a host of benefits for SMEs to onboard the transformation journey:

1. Greater Resiliency and Performance

SMEs using a cable modem or DSL solution are probably receiving fast-enough broadband speed. The problem is when they start streaming video or using any bandwidth-heavy application during peak times, they are likely to experience performance issues. SD-WAN benefits SMEs by providing multiple WAN connections with seamless traffic routing so that performance is never impacted by data surges.

2. Affordable Access

If performance issues begin impacting the business, SMEs will likely seek out a dedicated connection. Or if the company is in a poorly connected location, the small number of providers are more likely to charge high prices for lower amounts of bandwidth. In either instance, Liieren would be a more affordable implementation using two lower cost circuits to deliver quality performance at a lower cost.

3. Taming Over-the-Top (OTT) Communications

Latency-sensitive services like unified communications (UC) and video conferencing work fine on large, unencumbered connections. But on smaller, less reliable connections, these unmanaged services could congest the network causing performance issues. SD-WAN tames OTT communications by prioritizing traffic on an application-by-application basis.

4. Scalability and Compliance

For companies managing personally identifiable information, financial data, point-of-sale information, and the likes, it can be difficult to grow while staying compliant with industry standards. With low cost and easy site interconnection, SD-WAN makes it straightforward for small businesses to expand compared to CPE-based IP-VPN technologies, while staying compliant with standards like PCI and HIPAA.
