Modern networking for your business

Magenta Secure SD-WAN based on Cisco

Network modernisation without a clean break: Magenta Secure SD-WAN based on Cisco modernises your existing network topology gradually and securely. Existing infrastructure such as MPLS, data centres, branch offices and private clouds remain operational and are supplemented by an intelligent SD-WAN overlay. This creates a flexible, software-defined enterprise network for digitalisation, cloud usage, remote working, IoT and new business models – managed by Telekom, powered by Cisco SD-WAN.

What is SD-WAN and what possibilities does it offer?

With Magenta Secure SD-WAN based on Cisco, businesses can modernise their network step by step.

Existing MPLS or IntraSelect connections can continue to be used and can be flexibly combined with internet, fibre-optic, LTE or 5G access. Magenta Secure SD-WAN based on Cisco ensures that applications automatically run via the best available route – depending on performance, availability and security requirements.

This makes the corporate network more agile, more transparent and better equipped to handle cloud usage, mobile working and increasing bandwidth requirements.

Your advantages

High performance for business applications

Cisco SD-WAN identifies applications and dynamically manages traffic – for example, for SAP, Microsoft 365, CAD, voice or video. Critical applications are given priority, whilst less time-sensitive traffic is efficiently distributed.

Flexible combination of MPLS and the internet

IntraSelect SD-WAN combines MPLS and internet connections with Cisco management software and is backed by service level agreements. This enables traditional site networks to be modernised gradually, without abruptly replacing existing infrastructure.

Security and segmentation integrated

Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN offers integrated security features and secure segmentation, and supports zero-trust approaches as well as the evolution towards SASE.

Greater transparency and simpler operation

Centralised dashboards show which applications are using bandwidth and how well the site network is performing. Telekom emphasises that businesses can better identify network utilisation and potential issues.

Telekom quality from a single source

With IntraSelect, businesses gain secure, high-performance site connectivity available worldwide via the Telekom network. The solution covers design, deployment, operation, support and management – including 24/7 network management and defined service quality.

Infrastructure

Magenta Secure SD-WAN, based on Cisco, extends existing networks rather than replacing them. Businesses can continue to use their existing MPLS or site-to-site connections and integrate additional connectivity via the internet, mobile networks or international access solutions. Data traffic is controlled on an application-by-application basis: business-critical applications, cloud services, SaaS solutions and remote access are routed via the most suitable path. This makes the existing network architecture future-proof, scalable and ready for new digital use cases.

Processes

Centralised management via the SD-WAN controller ensures that routing, security policies, application prioritisation and monitoring are managed in a consistent manner. Changes no longer need to be laboriously implemented individually at each site, but can instead be planned, rolled out and monitored centrally. This speeds up the connection of new sites, clouds, IoT devices and remote workers – whilst simultaneously reducing complexity, manual effort and sources of error during day-to-day operations.

Organisation

Magenta Secure SD-WAN, based on Cisco technology, takes the pressure off IT teams and frees them up to focus on the company’s digital transformation. On request, Telekom can handle the design, implementation and operation of the solution – including service, monitoring and further development. Businesses benefit from a managed service provided from a single source, can integrate international sites more easily and securely support hybrid working models. In this way, the network is transformed from a technical bottleneck into a flexible enabler of digitalisation.

Safety

The solution protects existing investments by continuing to utilise the existing network topology and modernising it in a targeted manner. At the same time, Magenta Secure SD-WAN based on Cisco enhances security through centralised security policies, segmentation, encrypted connections, monitoring and controlled access to the cloud and the internet. Malware propagation can be limited, misconfigurations reduced and security rules implemented consistently across the organisation. As a result, the solution protects not only data and applications, but also operational capability, investments and digital business processes.
