Based on InterCloud’s NFVgrid - Network Orchestration, Monitoring and Management platform - the new solution provides to its customers, automated cloud-based provisioning and management of Customer Premises Equipment (CPE) and Virtual CPE (vCPE), through personnel-less Data Center locations.
The NFVgrid SD-WAN solution provides functions for the fully secure, encrypted connection of remote offices and data centers without any need for the presence of technicians onsite or any truck roll requirements.

Our SD-WAN (Software Defined - Wide Area Network) has several differentiating factors to compete against the incumbent, MPLS, and other SD-WAN providers:
It is fully cloud based and does not require proprietary customer premise equipment
All remote location provisioning of the network is managed from our cloud hosted data centers
The solution is vendor agnostic
It is a multi-tenancy solution which is critical for resellers and customers
Our machine learning analytics and forensics provide deeper security than traditional networks
Customer SD-WAN locations can be turned on and off in minutes not weeks as in older networks
Our SD-WAN solution will lower customer WAN costs by 50% or more and provide agility and additional functionality
We offer a fully integrated "White Label" environment for reseller.”
IDC predicts very significant growth in SD-WAN segment estimating approximately $2.6 billion to be spent in 2018. “We realize that there is a great opportunity in the market for a more flexible, scalable and robust SD-WAN-based networking solution.
