Managed Network Edge with SD-WAN

Managed Network Edge with SD-WAN is a modular, all-in-one solution that creates a complete network for all of your organization’s locations. Delivered over the Cisco Meraki platform, Managed Network Edge is designed to scale as your business grows. As your organization’s footprint expands, a software-defined wide area network (SD-WAN) can be activated and provisioned — providing efficient management of your wide area network (WAN). In addition, the solution offers complete visibility and control from a cloud-based portal. Our network experts, along with our national reach and multiple connectivity options, make Spectrum Enterprise^® uniquely qualified to be your single partner. We can tailor a complete solution to meet your needs. 

Quickly build a secure network

Gain flexibility of your network connectivity by choosing Managed Network Edge. You can select an all-internet connectivity configuration, or for Spectrum Enterprise Ethernet Service clients, Managed Network Edge can route the traffic you choose over your Ethernet network while taking advantage of public internet connections for the rest.

Obtaining visibility into your network has never been easier, with quick insights into usage and performance across your locations. It starts with the cloud-based portal where you can see network activity from your WAN — all the way down to an individual switch port for faster, better decision making.

Strengthening your security posture is also easier thanks to automated updates that make it easy to keep pace with changing networking requirements and emerging security risks. From the firewalls to unified threat management (UTM), we have you covered.

Better application performance

The SD-WAN capabilities of Managed Network Edge, along with intelligent routing, allow your organization’s most critical applications to get priority, resulting in higher, more consistent performance. Site-to-site VPN automatically establishes secure tunnels for your traffic between branch locations and to the cloud.

Complete network integration

Managed Network Edge makes network integration much easier. As part of the service, Spectrum Enterprise can quickly provision new locations giving you consistent capabilities across your entire network.

If that integration includes expanding your internet connections across multiple locations, Spectrum Enterprise can help. We’ll guide you to determine the right connectivity for your network with choices such as Dedicated Fiber Internet, broadband and fixed-wireless internet. You can even bring your own connectivity.
