Fortinet & Cisco expertise
We work with both Fortinet and Cisco SD-WAN, so we can recommend and run the platform that fits your environment.
Multiple sites, multiple lines, no single view
Fortinet and Cisco SD-WAN, delivered over business-grade connectivity
SD-WAN gives multi-site businesses one managed, resilient network. Regional Broadband works with both Fortinet and Cisco, so the platform fits your environment rather than the other way around. And because Regional Broadband also provides the underlying business connectivity, we can look at the full picture, the SD-WAN and the links it runs on, and design them together.
Why SD-WAN
What SD-WAN gives a multi-site business
The benefits that matter when connectivity is business-critical.
-
Superior performance
Traffic takes the best available path in real time, so business-critical applications stay fast and responsive across all your sites.
-
Native security
Security is built into the SD-WAN platform itself, with a consistent policy applied at every site rather than bolted on afterwards.
-
Simplicity
One managed network and one view across every location, instead of a separate line, contract and configuration to track at each site.
-
Efficiency & cost
Make better use of the connectivity you already have and reduce the overheads of running many separate links and services.
-
Flexible & future-proof
Add sites, change links and adjust policy centrally as the business changes, without rebuilding the network each time.
-
Connectivity and SD-WAN designed together
Because Regional Broadband also provides the underlying business connectivity, the SD-WAN and the links it runs on are designed as one, not in isolation.

FAQs
SD-WAN: questions answered.
Which SD-WAN vendors do you work with?
We work with both Fortinet and Cisco SD-WAN, and recommend the platform that fits your environment rather than defaulting to one.

Neither is better in every case. The right choice depends on your sites, your applications and your existing setup, which is why we look at your environment before recommending one.

Yes. We also provide the underlying business connectivity, so the SD-WAN and the links it runs on can be designed and delivered together.
Do I need to choose the platform before I talk to you?
