How FatPipe SD-WAN Adapts to the Evolving Needs of Branch Offices

The best networks aren’t the ones that are only the fastest, but are the ones that adjust the quickest.

With businesses spread across multiple countries or even continents, branch offices’ role in daily operations cannot be underestimated. The hard reality in the modern digital landscape is that if these branches are not equipped with a solution that adapts to their growing needs, they will suffer from performance issues which will have major consequences.

FatPipe SD-WAN: Adapting to the Evolving Needs of Branch Offices

  • With FatPipe SD-WAN, critical applications such as video conferencing or financial transactions can be prioritized to run over MPLS or high-speed fiber, while less demanding traffic can be routed over cost-effective broadband or 4G/5G connections. FatPipe SD-WAN ensures that each data packet takes the optimal path across the network, regardless of whether it’s traveling to the cloud, another branch office, or the main office.
  • Branch offices struggle with challenges related to session continuity and failover. Traditional networks are prone to disruptions during link failures, resulting in dropped connections, terminated sessions, and productivity loss. FatPipe SD-WAN solves this by offering stateful failover and session resiliency, meaning that if one link fails (for example, a fiber line or MPLS circuit), FatPipe will automatically reroute traffic over a secondary link (such as broadband or 4G/5G) without disrupting ongoing sessions.
  • FatPipe has the unique ability of data transmission across lines without dynamic routing protocols using FatPipe MPSec TM that makes network lighter, simpler, faster and more secure. Please refer to our Intelligent WAN Edge blog for more details.
  • FatPipe SD-WAN uses a threshold-based approach to monitor the quality of each selected line. It keeps tab on latency, jitter, and packet loss. If any of these exceed the thresholds, the traffic can be moved to another WAN connection to maintain optimal performance.
  • FatPipe SD-WAN accomplishes failover so gracefully; existing sessions continue on the original WAN interface while only new sessions are established on the failed-over connection.
  • In remote branch office areas, where high-speed connections like fiber may not be available, FatPipe SD-WAN optimizes available links such as satellite or cellular connections. It ensures efficient bandwidth utilization, dynamically switching between links to maintain the best possible performance, even in regions with unreliable connectivity.
  • Central management of FatPipe SD-WAN simplifies network operations, ensures higher performance and security, and reduces costs for branch offices while making it easier to scale and maintain consistency across all locations.
  • FatPipe SD-WAN ensures lower TCO with the feature of true load balancing of links without traffic duplication and single IP framework that have potential to save up to 60% of network bandwidth.

FatPipe SD-WAN allows branch offices to leverage any available connectivity—whether broadband, satellite, or MPLS—and integrates them seamlessly into the overall corporate network. Also, it ensures that security remains a top priority. The virtual network overlay can integrate advanced security features like encryption, traffic segmentation, and Zero Trust models, protecting sensitive data across all branch locations.

FatPipe SD-WAN addresses the performance issues inherent in long-distance interconnectivity reliably and efficiently. This ability of FatPipe SD-WAN to adapt quickly to varying needs, rather than just relying on sheer speed, is what makes it so effective for branch offices’ evolving demands.
